Samsung plans to broaden the One UI 7 beta, although there is currently no indication of a public release.

      Samsung is currently facing significant criticism due to extensive delays in the One UI 7 rollout. Several months after the launch of Android 15, the company continues to address bugs in One UI 7 for the Galaxy S24 series. However, a recent report hints that there may be some relief, as the beta could soon become available for additional devices, including last-generation foldables.

      Following the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung appears to have started testing the One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6. Tipster Tarun Vats shared screenshots of the firmware builds that are reportedly being tested internally before Samsung officially announces a One UI 7 beta program for these foldable devices.

      The first One UI 7 beta build has been detected on test servers in Europe and India.

      Build:

      Z Fold 6: F956BXXU2ZYBC/F956BOXM2ZYBC/F956BXXU2BYBC

      Z Flip 6: F741BXXU2ZYBC/F741BOXM2ZYBC/F741BXXU2BYBC

      Is Samsung preparing for a One UI 7 beta program for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6?

      According to Vats, the serial codes listed in the screenshot suggest that these builds are intended only for units sold in Europe and India. This may indicate that Samsung is starting beta testing in these regions while initially omitting the U.S. Additionally, another beta update for the Galaxy S24 series is anticipated.

      If this information holds true, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 would be the only devices to receive the One UI 7 beta aside from the Galaxy S24. Samsung has also established dedicated pages in its One UI beta forums for these devices, further enhancing the likelihood of the release.

      Meanwhile, there do not appear to be any active test builds for the Galaxy S23, Fold/Flip 5, and other flagship models from previous years. Thus, a stable One UI 7 release for older devices may still be several months away.

      On the other hand, a less credible rumor presents a more optimistic outlook.

      A less convincing rumor from X user @BuligaDavidCri1 has put forth a detailed timeline for the One UI 7 update across various Samsung devices. The tipster claims these details came to light during an internal virtual meeting for partners or employees in Romania.

      According to this rumor, stable One UI 7 updates for the Galaxy S24 series could arrive as early as the third week of April, with the Galaxy S23, Z Fold 6, Fold 5, Flip 6, and Flip 5 following a week later.

      Despite the leaker’s confidence, we cannot fully validate this information due to the lack of credibility. However, if accurate, it would be intriguing to see Samsung execute a broad rollout without adequate testing on older devices.

      Nevertheless, this timeline contradicts Samsung’s earlier assurance of releasing One UI 7 for the Galaxy S series by the end of the first quarter of this year. With only a month remaining until that deadline, the absence of any confirmation or updates from Samsung is adding to user frustration, and we hope to receive more information soon.
