One UI 8 Galaxy Z Fold 5

Android 15-based One UI 7 development for Galaxy smartphones continues to pick up pace as we move closer to the Beta program. Today, the first Android 15/One UI 7 test firmware finally was spotted on Samsung’s servers for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5.

The Galaxy’s fifth generation of foldable smartphones is expected to be among the first batch of devices that get the One UI 7 beta program later this year, but for some reason, Android 15 testing for the 2023 foldable lineup has not yet begun in earnest. This arrives just a couple of days after test builds were discovered for the other Galaxy S23 series including Galaxy S23 FE.

According to the information, the first One UI 7 build spotted for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 carries firmware versions F946BXXU4EXKN and F731BXXU4EXKN, respectively. Simultaneously, these builds also suggest that the testing development of the next major update progresses.

Based on the Android 15, the One UI 7 is expected to bring new security features, new elements, customization options, performance improvements, and more.

Samsung has delayed this year’s beta program and Google already released the Android 16 Developer Preview. The owners of Galaxy S24 smartphones still missing out on access to the One UI 7 Beta.

Samsung will announce the official Android 15-based One UI 7 update in 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25 series.

Galaxy S26 Ultra design changes

Samsung is preparing to launch its new Galaxy S series phones, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, later this month. We’ve already seen numerous leaks and rumors about these devices, detailing their specifications and indicating that the launch is imminent. Now, a reliable industry insider has provided new information about 4 design changes coming to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Leaker “IceUniverse” has shared new information about four design changes for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to the leak, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have slightly more rounded corners, giving it a softer overall look.

Regarding the second change, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has a slightly larger front camera cutout. This is due to the front camera’s wider field of view, which should allow more people to fit into group selfies.

Furthermore, there is no difference in the bezel width between the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Fourth, and most importantly, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has a slightly larger display. It measures 6.89 inches, compared to the 6.86-inch display of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Recently, disappointing news for fans has emerged from an online listing. It appears that Samsung has not included Qi2 magnets in the device. Users will need to purchase compatible accessories to utilize Qi2 charging.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series will be officially launched on February 25th. The event will take place in San Francisco, and an official livestream will be available for fans. More details will be revealed as the launch date approaches. Stay tuned.

Galaxy S22 One UI 7

Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G are well-loved smartphones in the Galaxy S series that have now shifted from a monthly to a quarterly update plan. This means that Galaxy users of these Galaxy flagship devices will now receive software updates every three months instead of every month.

The Korean tech giant recently announced its revised update schedule for its Galaxy devices, with the February 2026 security patch, and the Galaxy S22 series has been placed in the quarterly update category.

The Galaxy S22 still performs very well, and with the latest Galaxy AI features recently added via the One UI 8 update, it remains up-to-date. Furthermore, it will receive One UI 8.5 later this year, which will likely be the final One UI upgrade for the S22.

How many more updates will the Galaxy S22 get?

If you need a reminder, your Galaxy S22 series is eligible for Samsung’s four-year Android upgrade policy and will get four major OS upgrades. These phones launched with Android 12 and One UI 4.1 and have already received Android 16, along with their respective One UI updates.

Coming to the topic, although the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G 5G will continue to function properly, the change in the quarterly update schedule means that users will not receive the latest features and security enhancements as quickly as before.

If you own a Galaxy S22 series phone and are considering an upgrade, you might want to check out newer Samsung models like the Galaxy S26 series. These devices will launch later this month with new features in One UI 8.1, ensuring you stay up to date with the latest technology.
