A user interface 7 should be the next big upgrade for Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets, and we can’t wait. Samsung doesn’t seem to be in a rush to release the update, as the company has promised a timeline for One UI 7 this extends into the new year for the stable release. If you’re okay with running a beta on your daily driver smartphone (we don’t recommend it), you’d be happy to know that One UI 7 betas could be around the corner.

Ceotech spotted One UI 7 betas with firmware versions ending in ZXKB on Samsung’s test servers. These versions are intended for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in Europe and India. This indicates that the beta program for Samsung’s flagship could start very soon. This matches Samsung’s rather vague but official timeline that One UI 7 betas would arrive sometime before the end of 2024. Note that Samsung also officially revealed that One UI 7 stable would ship with the Galaxy S25expected in early 2025.

Leak Chun Bhai corroborates this leak, claiming that the official beta update is ready to roll out next week. However, “most” of the upcoming Galaxy AI features, like “AI Summary” and “AI Emoji”, would come with One UI 7.1 instead of One UI 7.0. Only “minor AI features” are expected to arrive next week.

It’s not immediately clear what AI features are expected to arrive next week. However, Chun Bhai may be referring to the iOS 18.1-like notification summary feature, which they previously called “AI notification.”

Significant leak Ice universe had also previously mentioned that One UI 7 betas would start next week, after November 17, 2024, with South Korea and the United States expected to be part of the first wave of deployment. However, remember that leaks have repeatedly gotten the One UI 7 beta timeline wrong, so take these leaks with a pinch of salt.
