Samsung One UI 7 Beta Expands as Development on One UI 8 Begins Early

Samsung's latest Android 15-based One UI 7 expands to more devices, while early work on One UI 8 hints at a significant software overhaul.

Samsung's One UI 7 beta has rolled out to Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 users in select regions, including the US, Korea, and India.
The Android 15-based update introduces features like the Now Bar, enhanced parental controls, a redesigned home screen, and improved security tools.
Development for One UI 8 has reportedly started earlier than expected, aiming to address delays in One UI 7's rollout and prepare for a potential launch with the Galaxy S26.
The Galaxy S25 Edge, Samsung's upcoming ultra-thin smartphone, is rumored to feature a ceramic back for improved durability, though this remains unconfirmed.
Samsung plans to release the stable version of One UI 7 in April, with updates promised for a wide range of devices, including older flagship models and mid-range phones.
