Users of the Samsung Galaxy A54 smartphones in the US are finally getting the One UI 7 update based on Android 15. Now, they can enjoy new features on their Galaxy devices after installation.

Samsung has already rolled out this big update for Galaxy A54 users in several countries, including  South Korea, Europe, and some Asian countries and the company is about to roll out this big update for these devices. This means that all phone models of the Galaxy A series are going to get this major update.

The One UI 7 update introduces several new features and modifications that enhance the overall Galaxy experience. Additionally, the update installs the May 2025 security patch on the Galaxy A54 phones.

In addition, it has a completely new look, including the Now bar and live notifications. It shows real-time updates directly on your home screen, lock screen, and status bar, so you’re always informed without opening the app.

With OneUI 7, Quick Settings and Notifications have also been redesigned to look cleaner and work better. Apart from this, it also offers several Galaxy Apps to add new features and enhancements.

Galaxy A54 smartphone users in the US are receiving the One UI 7 update via One UI build version A546USQUBDYE5 and the installation package size is 3.5 GB. Samsung is expected to roll out this major update to more users soon.

Galaxy A54 smartphone users can download this update through Settings >> Software update >> Download and install. If the update is available, download it now to enjoy the new features and improvements.

Days after kicking off the One UI 8 Beta, Samsung closed new enrollment in the US. The Beta Program devices are the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Program is available in Germany, Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Two days ago, Samsung confirmed that both the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Fold7 will come with stable One UI 8. This means that users of these Galaxy foldable devices will enjoy all the new features right out of the box. After that, Samsung will gradually release the update for more Galaxy phones and end the beta program.

Samsung One UI 8 Beta closed

AdamJMatlock on X noticed that the new One UI 8 beta enrollment for the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra has closed in the US. This means that the Samsung Members app is no longer accepting new registrations and is informing users that the beta program has reached its capacity. Now, you have to wait for the program to reopen to register.

In addition, Samsung Members is the key to unlock the One UI 8 beta program. The beta program banner is shown on the home page of the app. Clicking on the beta banner takes you to a short process to finish the registration.

Just like One UI 7 beta registrations, One UI 8 beta registrations crossed the line within a few days of the program’s official launch. This is not surprising news, as Galaxy fans have been eagerly waiting for the Android 16 beta software ever since the stable version rollout for Pixel devices.

Until then, you have no official opportunity to get the latest update on your Galaxy S25 series. Manually flashing the OTA is a solution to get it right away. However, we don’t suggest doing this on your primary Galaxy device as it may cause data loss.
