Samsung disappoints users as One UI 7 launch delays to 2025

Samsung delays the One UI 7 launch until next year. This news is a big shock and disappointment for Galaxy phone users. While many of us expected to see the new One UI software this month, the company delayed this offering for some more time.

2024 has brought us a lot of expectations from Samsung and One UI 7.0. But it seems this year has just extended the wait for a new software upgrade and not anything else.

During the SDC 2024 event, Samsung announced to release One UI 7.0 (Android 15) next year with the Galaxy S25 series. The exact launch time is unknown. But this will likely happen in January 2025 with a grand Unpacked Galaxy launch event.

That’s not it! Here’s another ‘let-down’ news. Samsung mentioned that the One UI 7.0 developer beta will launch by the end of this year. Again, the closed and public beta might take a wider shape by next year. We may get clear info in late 2024.

Samsung’s software section is expanding at a snail’s speed in 2024 compared to the past years. The company used to launch its major software beta version most probably in August, thereby gradually expanding it with closed and public testings.

The company is well-known for completing its software update rollouts faster than any other brand. But this year, things don’t seem usual. What are the reasons behind this sluggish speed? A focus shift towards hardware products, major improvements in software, or anything else? We can’t say it right now.

If we look at other smartphone makers like OnePlus, these have already given the Android 15-based software beta versions to their flagship devices. Meanwhile, the wait bar for Galaxy users for a new software offering continues to rise.

Apart from the One UI 7 announcement, Samsung also mentioned new changes in the upcoming software version. The user experience this time, will be more simple, and impactful, and carry an emotive design to offer a seamless functioning in daily use.

Users will find significant changes in the home screen layout and other UI sections. AI features, an enhanced battery section, and more impressive customizations are also in the One UI 7.0 expected features list. Samsung delays the launch of One UI 7, but this wait could be worthwhile with amazing and useful software enhancements.
