Samsung‘s latest software update plans are facing some delays. The One UI 7 beta, initially expected to launch in August, is now rumored to be pushed back to September. This postponement seems to be tied to the delayed rollout of One UI 6.1.1, which hasn’t been released as widely as anticipated.
Samsung has confirmed the One UI 6.1.1 update for its newest devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, but the rollout schedule for other regions remains uncertain. There are reports that the Galaxy A34 has started receiving an update related to One UI 6.1.1, but there is no solid evidence to confirm this.
Typically, Samsung announces major updates through official channels before rolling them out, but there has been no such announcement for One UI 6.1.1. Given the current situation, it’s best to be cautious about when these updates will actually become available.
According to rumors, One UI 7.0 will introduce several new features and visual changes to Samsung devices. These updates may include redesigned system app icons, a refreshed background interface, and a new control area located at the bottom of the lock screen.
One UI 7 will also include adjustments to the size and placement of shortcut icons on the lock screen’s corners, and users might see a more flexible pull-down shortcut bar that allows notifications to be displayed separately or together. The notification bar may feature a pill-shaped element that shows more apps, along with improved animations for smoother app opening and closing. Additionally, a new battery icon, enhanced charging animations, a revamped camera interface, and support for 5G SMS messages are expected.
New animations for notifications, unlocking, button touches, and page returns are also rumored in One UI 7. Users can look forward to more customization options with new desktop widgets of various sizes, more lock screen widgets, and larger folders for better organization.
