Samsung stable One UI 7 timeline leaks
Samsung has already confirmed that One UI 7 will be released for the Galaxy S24 series in Q1 of 2025. While its Chinese competitors are busy rolling out Android 16 beta updates, Samsung is far behind. The Korean company hasn’t even shipped the stable One UI 7 based on Android 15 to any of its devices, which is a huge reversal compared to its swift update cadence over the past few years.
A new report revealed the stable One UI 7 timeline, according to which the stable update will start on April 18, 2025, starting with the Galaxy S24 series, the S24 FE, and the Z Fold 6. A user, Buliga Cristian, on Reddit, shared a post, claiming the stable One UI 7 timeline and said that Samsung Romania dropped some details during a Zoom workshop about the Galaxy S25 series.
The release of the Samsung One UI 7 stable version is a hot topic among Galaxy users, and it is now rumored to start on April 18, 2025. This is in line with previous reporting, which suggested a launch as soon as April or May 2025.
Samsung’s stable One UI 7 rollout is expected to follow this timeline:
- On April 18, 2025: The Galaxy S24 series, S24 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will get the One UI 7 update.
- On April 25, 2025, the One UI 7 update will be released for the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy A54 5G.
- The One UI 7 update will be released for the Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Galaxy A53, A34, and A33 5G on May 16, 2025.
- One UI 7 update will be released for the Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and more on May 23, 2025.
Users claim they haven’t seen One UI 7 for the A55 and A35 and other A series models, but they and we also think it will come with the S24 and S23 updates.
It is worth mentioning that Samsung has not officially confirmed this. This timeline is based on an unconfirmed claim from a workshop, therefore, we recommend that you do it with a pinch of salt. Now it remains to be seen whether this report will be true or not.
Samsung is preparing to release its next major software update, One UI 8.5, which is expected to arrive next month with the Galaxy S26 series. Testing of the initial beta builds of this update has already begun, and new information suggests that Samsung is planning a significant upgrade to Game Booster+ in One UI 8.5.
Game Booster+ is the tool that improves gaming performance and controls on Galaxy phones. According to information via Samsung Community, the One UI 8.5 update with Game Booster+ will bring many new features, including Gamepad Touch Mapping, CPU and GPU Settings, Fast-forward Game Intros, and more.
The Gamepad Touch Mapping is one of the biggest additions, which allows you to control even touch-only games with the pad.
Moreover, this upcoming Game Booster+ update will replace the “Turn on Game Booster GPU Settings” with CPU and GPU Settings. Gamers can tweak their CPU and GPU for game-specific performance optimization.
Last but not least, One UI 8.5 also brings the Fast-forward Game Intros videos option in the Game Booster+, which lets users play much faster, so players can start gaming almost right away.
Currently, these features are only available on Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra phones running One UI 8.5.
Samsung kept on enhancing Galaxy smartphones with new software releases, and in the latest edition, the company has surprised the most popular Galaxy A series phone, the Samsung Galaxy A55, with the January 2026 security update.
However, Samsung recently greeted the Galaxy A55 users with a new One UI 8 update, which primarily optimizes the user experience and performance in some scenarios. In terms of version, it is getting the One UI firmware version A556BXXSCCZA1.
The January 2026 security update for Galaxy A55 with model number SM-A556B is currently available for Europe, and other markets should receive the same update in the coming days.
This update comes with several new security improvements and stability enhancements found in the previous software version.
