Samsung’s latest flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is set to release tomorrow, January 22. The device comes with several new features and the best available hardware, as well as the latest One UI 7 operating system pre-installed.
However, Samsung hasn’t shared an official release timeline for One UI 7 on older smartphones. Despite confirming that the update is “coming soon,” the company has yet to provide a concrete date for its rollout.
In contrast, competitors like OnePlus and Xiaomi have already updated their eligible devices to Android 15, while Google has started its Android 16 beta program. Samsung typically rolls out One UI updates to new devices first, suggesting that older models may receive the update after the S25 series is launched.
Based on past patterns, speculation suggests a potential rollout starting in mid-February or early March 2025 for older Galaxy smartphone users. The delay has left many fans disappointed and eagerly awaiting Samsung’s clarification at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event.
