Samsung has confirmed that its One UI 7 update is finally launching in April, four months after the updated Android wrapper was first made available alongside the Galaxy S25 lineup. This long-awaited release marks a significant milestone for Samsung’s users, who have been waiting for over half a year to get their hands on the update.
One UI 7 is based on Android 15, which launched in October last year. The new operating system brings several notable features and improvements, including a refreshed user interface, enhanced notifications, and improved Galaxy AI tools.
Some of the key new features in One UI 7 include the Now Bar, which provides a pill-shaped bar that displays notifications, music, or other routines on the lock screen. Notifications have also been redesigned with a rounded pill shape and a new Filter Notifications tab to reduce clutter.
Another notable feature is the refreshed user interface, which includes new stock icons, smoother animations, and new widget styles. The UI also features a frosted glass effect that gives a sense of dimension and smoothness to the overall experience.
In addition to these visual improvements, One UI 7 also brings several practical features, including better adaptive charging options. Users can now choose from three charging limiters: a basic limit, an adaptive mode, or a hard 80% limit.
The update will be available on various Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy Z Flip and Fold models, and some A-series devices and Galaxy Tab tablets. Samsung has promised that all Galaxy S handsets dating back to the Galaxy S21 series will receive the update.
While there are many exciting features in One UI 7, users may have to wait a bit longer for some of them. Google is reportedly planning to release Android 16 in May, which could make One UI 7 feel outdated soon after its launch. Nevertheless, Samsung fans have plenty to look forward to with the upcoming update, and we’ll be keeping an eye on it as it approaches its release date in April.
