Samsung Galaxy users have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Samsung One UI 7 update, which will be bringing a new look to home screens and new features like the addition of AI abilities.

Now, thanks to information originally spotted by tipster Tarun Vats on X, the Czech Republic version of the Samsung Newsroom has given more information on when exactly the One UI 7 will become available in that country. And as Android Central points out, Czech and US release dates could well line up.

“The One UI 7 user interface will be available in the Czech Republic from April 10, in the Galaxy S24, Z Flip6 and Z Fold6 series models. A week later, it will expand into the Galaxy S24 FE, S23 and Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 foldable phones. In the coming weeks, users of the Galaxy S23 FE, S22 and Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 series will be able to download the new user interface,” Samsung wrote in a press release, translated from Czech.

This is a little confusing, as the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 devices appear to be listed twice, so it’s possible that something has been lost in translation.

The company also gave details on when the new update would come to tablet devices too: “The new update on tablets will be available from mid-April on the Galaxy Tab S10 series and a week later of the Galaxy Tab S9 series. Owners of the Tab S8 series will be able to download the update by the end of April, for the other tablets, the new user interface will be available in May.”

There has been quite some confusion about when the new update would launch, as a US launch date was posted and then pulled from Samsung’s online portal. The currently available information for the US simply says that the rollout will begin on April 7 with other devices to receive the update “in the following weeks,” so these new details from the Czech website show what that release schedule should look like in practice.

The current release schedule as far as we can see should be:

April 10 — Galaxy S24, Z Flip6, and Z Fold6
April 17 — Galaxy S24 FE, S23, Z Flip5, and Z Fold5
Mid-April — Galaxy Tab S10
Late April — Galaxy S23 FE and S22
Late April — Galaxy Tab S9 and Tab S8
May — other tablets

Samsung One UI 8 could launch as soon as August 2025

Samsung has just started pushing One UI 7 out to devices – sitting on Android 15 – with the Galaxy S25 models the first to get it. But with Google shuffling up the timeline for the release of Android 16, One UI 7 could have a short life on your device before One UI 8 comes to replace it.

The starting point for this story is Google changing the point in the year where it plans to release the next version of Android. Google is dragging that forward, so we should see Android 16 land around June 2025. For Samsung to avoid being even further out of date, it would have to move fast to push the next update.

The Samsung One UI 7 rollout has officially started – is your phone included?

Samsung has finally started the rollout of Android 15 and One UI 7 to its existing devices, following the launch of the Galaxy S25 series which debuted the software earlier in the year.

Samsung has faced plenty of criticism for the speed at which it hasn’t delivered this update, with Android 15 officially landing on Pixel devices on 15 October 2024. It’s been nearly 6 months since the first devices got the new software – and we’re probably only 2 months away from Android 16’s launch.

Bad news: the Samsung G Fold might not release globally

Samsung Galaxy AI on the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

The long-rumored Samsung tri-fold phone, sometimes dubbed the Samsung G Fold, is highly anticipated. It would mark one of the first true competitors to the Huawei Mate XT, and it's rumored to release sometime in July. Unfortunately, a new find suggests it might only be available in China and Korea.

Smartprix found two model numbers listed in the GSMA database. Each number and letter used in the model number denotes something different, and the first number — SM-F968N — suggests it's a Korean listing. The "N" is used to mark Korean-focused products. The second model number is SM-F9680, where the 0 is used for the Chinese market. The story also notes that both are listed with the official number Q7M, which lines up with an internal number used for the tri-fold several weeks ago.
