If you own a Galaxy S23, a Z Fold 5, or even the latest S24 FE, heads up: your next big software update is just around the corner. Samsunghas started pushing outOne UI 7, and while it’s currently only live in a few places, a global rollout is coming — and fast. According to tipster @tarunvats, who spotted a post over on Samsung Thailand’s Newsroom, the update should hit more users by the end of April.
And, well, here we are. So expect that notification to pop up any day now.
What’s the Deal with One UI 7?
First off, One UI 7 is based on Android 15. Big under-the-hood improvements? Definitely. But Samsung didn’t stop there. The update brings a handful of visual changes that are hard to miss. There’s a new vertical app drawer, for one. Instead of swiping sideways through your apps like it’s 2015, you’ll now scroll up and down — faster and way more natural.
Icons got a glow-up too. Samsung’s gone for a cleaner, flatter style. Widgets? Way more customizable now. And if you’re the type who likes your home screen looking just right, the larger folders will be a welcome change. It’s not just a fresh coat of paint either. The core Samsung apps have been redesigned to match the new vibe, making everything feel a little less cluttered, a little more… grown-up.
Who’s Getting It First?
Samsung confirmed that the rollout starts with the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, S24 FE, and the Tab S10 family. If you have one of these devices, it’s a good idea to double-check your update settings. You don’t want to be the last one to the party. Other Galaxy models? They’re on deck. Samsung usually takes a few months to trickle updates down to older or less popular phones, but they’ve been moving quicker lately.
Final Thoughts
Honestly? This update feels like Samsung is finally finding its design rhythm again. It’s polished without being boring, smarter without trying too hard. Keep an eye on your notifications — your Galaxy’s about to get a whole lot better.
