In addition to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Samsung has also promised that the One UI 7 Beta update will be released for the Galaxy S23 series phones and the mid-range Galaxy A55 smartphone later this week.

Additionally, the Android 15-based experience is also making its way to Samsung’s tablets for the first time, starting with the Galaxy Tab S10 series slates later this month. The stable version of One UI 7 for all compatible smartphones will be released in April, according to Samsung.

The company had committed to updating flagship phones going as far back as Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3 in the coming months. Smartphones across the Galaxy-A, Galaxy-M, and the affordable Galaxy-F series are also lined up for the software upgrade. However, an official roadmap for these older devices is yet to be confirmed.

Samsung kicked off the beta test program for Android 15-based One UI 7 software in December. But so far, it has remained exclusive to a handful of devices and with no final release date in sight. That status-quo has finally changed today.

The company has confirmed that the stable build of One UI 7 will be released in April. In addition to it, more devices will be added to the beta testing program starting tomorrow for users based in India, South Korea, the UK, and the US.

Despite numerous delays and a significant amount of time spent in development, One UI 7.0 could be the only version we see. Under normal circumstances, Samsung would release at least a 7.1 version to address any unforeseen bugs in the initial rollout, but a reliable leaker suggests things might change this generation.

"The next version of One UI 7.0 is One UI 8.0. There is no One UI 7.1 and 7.1.1," according to @UniverseIce on X. The news is surprising, but it makes sense. There have been numerous beta releases, but Samsung has yet to launch the full, stable version of One UI 7 — and neither has the company given a concrete release window.

For the past five years, I’ve used a folding phone as one of my primary devices, and the journey to finding the perfect size and style has taken many twists and turns.
