Samsung’s One UI 7 was initially expected to launch soon, but recent leaks suggest a delay. Another leak has just shown a possible timeline of when this update will be rolled out, and what we can see of its iOS-like features and animations. So here’s everything we know about One UI 7’s rollout schedule, features, and more.

Samsung One UI 7 Update: Rollout Timeline and Features Leaked Ahead of Official Launch

The alleged One UI 7 rollout schedule was leaked on X by a tipster with the username @FamilyTaes. The first public beta for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is predicted to arrive in the first week of December in the leak. As for the Galaxy S23 series, it should follow suit, with beta availability sometime in mid-December, around 2-3 weeks later. At the same time, bleeding the 2024 Galaxy S22 series with a beta seems like a long shot. The Galaxy S21 series won’t see a beta version but does get Android 15, which will be the final major update for these devices under Samsung’s four-upgrade promise.

Now, the One UI 7 beta program should follow up for a time period of roughly two months then, a stable version most likely be released in February. While Samsung hasn’t officially detailed the reason behind the delay, speculation suggests that the update would bring a major visual overhaul to One UI. However some planned features, particularly those related to artificial intelligence, might not make the initial cut. These may be delivered at a later date as part of the One UI 7.1 rollout.

Along with the rollout timelines, tipster Ice Universe also shared a video giving us a look at some of the UI changes expected in One UI 7. Samsung also enabled a noticeable change in the Quick Panel by separating notifications from quick settings in the dropdown menu. The Quick Panel now features bubble-shaped icons, similar to iOS.

Larger bubbles at the top provide quick access to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, while smaller icons for other options like airplane mode, location, and flashlight appear in rounded rectangles. Users will also be able to add or remove controls to customize the panel.
