Samsung will begin rolling out One UI 7 on April 10th in the US, starting with the Galaxy S24 series.
Other devices eligible for the update include the Galaxy S23, S22 and S21 series, will all receive the update at a later date.
New features One UI 7 includes are a revamped notification center, redesigned camera app, and new Galaxy AI features like Audio Eraser, Now Bar, and AI Select.

One UI 7’s launch is fast approaching, and the highly anticipated Android 15-based software update for Samsung Galaxy devices will soon be available for download. The update has reportedly faced several challenges during its development, with long delays and a lack of communication from Samsung for nearly two months about its beta testing and launch date.

However, after months of waiting, Samsung has finally confirmed that One UI 7 will begin rolling out for the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6 starting April 10th in the US. Don’t worry; those aren’t the only Samsung Galaxy devices receiving One UI 7 soon.

I used One UI 7 on my Samsung Galaxy, and these 5 features impressed me the most

I didn’t expect these One UI 7 features to impress me this much

What can I expect from One UI 7?

User interface and AI improvements await you

One UI 7 is a significant upgrade from One UI 6, providing older Samsung devices with a fresh new look. This update introduces numerous user interface changes that give it a more modern and contemporary feel, along with updated app icons that stand out more. I personally find that One UI 7 is also much more fluid than previous versions. The animations are smooth and visually appealing, making the overall experience feel much snappier.

Samsung definitely took inspiration from iOS with the new split notification center, and I’m glad they did.

Another major change in One UI 7 is the split notification center. Previously, quick settings and notifications were combined into one tray, but they have now been separated into two. If you swipe down from the top of the screen on the left, it opens the notification center, where you can find all your missed text messages, emails, and app notifications. Swiping down from the right at the top of the screen opens the quick settings menu, allowing you to adjust your phone settings on the fly, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Airplane mode, turning on the flashlight, and more. Plus, if you prefer the old layout, you can revert to it in the Panel settings. Samsung definitely took inspiration from iOS with the new split notification center, and I’m glad they did.

My favorite feature introduced in One UI 7 is the Now Bar, a pill-shaped widget on the lock screen that is similar to Apple’s Live Activities.

My favorite feature introduced in One UI 7 is the Now Bar, a pill-shaped widget on the lock screen that is similar to Apple’s Live Activities. This feature enables quick access to functions such as media playback, routines, and live notifications from compatible apps like Google Maps, Samsung Health, Voice Recorder, and Sports from Google. It’s expected that more third-party applications, including ride-sharing services, will eventually support the Now Bar.

…I can’t overlook the new Galaxy AI features, including Audio Eraser, AI Select, Writing Assist, and enhanced Google Gemini integration, which supports multi-app actions.

Another significant update in One UI 7 is the revamped camera app, which features a cleaner interface thanks to a menu redesign that makes it easier to keep subjects in focus and to use the app one-handed. Lastly, I can’t overlook the new Galaxy AI features, including Audio Eraser, AI Select, Writing Assist, and enhanced Google Gemini integration, which supports multi-app actions.

The rollout of One UI 7 starts on April 10 in the US, gradually extending to older Galaxy phones and tablets. The Galaxy S25 series is available now, with the Galaxy S25 Edge rumored to launch in mid-April.
