Samsung has faced criticism for delays in the One UI 7 rollout, with the Galaxy S24 series still undergoing bug fixes months after Android 15’s release. However, recent reports suggest a silver lining: the One UI 7 beta may soon expand to other devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6.
Leaked screenshots of firmware builds hint at internal testing for the foldable devices. Tipster Tarun Vats shared these images, suggesting an imminent One UI 7 beta program for the Fold 6 and Flip 6. The serial codes within the screenshots reportedly indicate initial testing in Europe and India, potentially excluding the U.S. in the first phase. Another beta update is also anticipated for the Galaxy S24 series.

If accurate, this would make the Fold 6 and Flip 6 the only devices besides the S24 series to receive the One UI 7 beta. Dedicated pages within Samsung’s One UI beta forums further support this claim, lending credence to the potential release. Currently, there seems to be no active testing for the Galaxy S23, Fold 5, Flip 5, or other older flagship devices, suggesting a stable One UI 7 release for these models may still be several months away.
One UI 7 Update Timeline Rumors
An additional, less substantiated rumor offers a more optimistic timeline. X user @BuligaDavidCri1 suggests a detailed One UI 7 update schedule for various Samsung devices, allegedly revealed during an internal virtual meeting in Romania. According to this rumor, the Galaxy S24 series could receive the stable One UI 7 update as early as the third week of April, followed by the S23, Fold 6, Fold 5, Flip 6, and Flip 5 a week later.
However, due to the leaker’s unverified credentials, this information should be treated with caution. If true, it would mark a surprisingly rapid rollout, especially given the limited testing on older devices. This timeline also contradicts Samsung’s earlier commitment to release One UI 7 for the Galaxy S series by the end of Q1 2025. With the deadline approaching, the lack of official confirmation from Samsung is contributing to user frustration. Hopefully, further clarification will be provided soon.
