According to foreign media reports, a moderator of the Samsung community forum revealed that the beta plan for One UI 7.0 needs more time to prepare and may be further delayed. Foreign media believe that this year Samsung has spent more time on each One UI update than ever before, so the delay of One UI 7.0 is also expected.
However, the reasons for the delay of One UI 7.0 are different. The previous One UI 6.1 and 6.1.1 updates were because the Galaxy AI features required more development time, while One UI 7.0 is because Samsung wants to make it as stable as possible before launching the beta program.
In addition, Samsung is still discussing new features, which also leads to delays. These situations are not surprising, because Galaxy AI has completely changed the release schedule of Samsung One UI. It can be expected that the waiting time for each One UI update in the future will be longer.
One UI 7.0 based on Android 15 will bring a lot of visual interface changes and improved UI animations. According to information leaked a month ago, One UI 7.0 will bring a lot of new features to eligible Galaxy smartphones, including but not limited to:
New system app icons
