Samsung is preparing to roll out Android 15 to Galaxy devices later this year, along with the One UI 7.0 update. While Google plans to release Android 15 for the public in October, Samsung is delaying the One UI 7 Beta.
Android 15 Features and Rollout
Android 15 has been in development, starting with a Developer Preview in February and a Public Beta in April. So far, Google has released four major Public Beta updates for Pixel devices, with the final rollout expected in October. This new version focuses on improving performance, power efficiency, security, and privacy. It also optimizes the OS for AI, promising faster app loading and longer battery life.
One UI 7 Beta and Galaxy Devices
Samsung is still working internally on One UI 7.0, which will be based on Android 15. The Galaxy S24 series will be the first to receive the Beta and Stable versions. Other Galaxy devices will follow later this year. Samsung’s Developer Conference on October 3 might provide more information on the Beta release and new features for One UI 7.0. However, the Beta rollout for the S24 series is delayed compared to previous years. Mid-range devices like the Galaxy A55 and A35 may also be eligible for the Beta.
