Based on recent reports, it is expected that Samsung Galaxy users will finally get a taste of Android 15 with One UI 7.0 Beta as early as next week. This will be a long-awaited update for Samsung Galaxy fans, as Google and several other manufacturers have already rolled out stable builds of Android 15 for devices like the Pixel 9 and others. In contrast, Galaxy phones are still running Android 14 for the time being. It’s important to note that this will be a beta version, not a stable release, so if you’re not comfortable using a beta, you’ll have to wait even longer.

As for what to expect from One UI 7.0, the beta is expected to bring several changes compared to One UI 6 based on Android 14. First, Samsung is expected to offer a reworked quick settings panel, which will have a much cleaner look. It is also expected to include a new feature called the “active panel,” which could be a take on Apple’s Dynamic Island feature from the iPhone. Additionally, there may be revamped icons that will give the UI a fresh look and feel. Reports suggest that widgets in One UI 7.0 could feature labels, similar to iOS, although these are still rumours and should be taken with a pinch of salt until an official release from Samsung.
