Samsung is expected to launch the One UI 7 update based on Android 15 at the SDC 2024 conference on October 3, 2024.
If the information is correct, the One UI 7 launch will follow the same schedule as last year. Last year, the One UI 6 update was released after it was revealed at SDC 2023 on October 5. It is possible that Samsung will roll out One UI 7 in a similar manner.
One UI 7 is built on Android 15.
The exact release date is still unknown, but a new report from leakster IceUniverse on X suggests that the upcoming One UI 7 could bring a major redesign and is also said to be the biggest change in One UI history. The source added that One UI 7 is expected to bring major changes to the icons as they are being redrawn.
IceUniverse’s “redrawn icons” claim suggests that Samsung could adopt a completely new icon design for One UI 7. Furthermore, the sources also speculate that Samsung could introduce native app icon customization options. Currently, Galaxy users have to use the Good Lock app to tweak their icons.
App icons on One UI 7 will be redesigned.
One UI 7 will be based on the Android 15 operating system that Google will officially introduce in August 2024 along with the launch of the Pixel 9 series. Besides, the One UI 7 update is also expected to bring a vertically scrolling app drawer along with many new Galaxy AI capabilities updated by Samsung.
Finally, the report adds that Samsung is currently testing the One UI 7 update on multiple Galaxy phones. Notably, the Galaxy S24 Plus, Galaxy S23 Ultra, and Galaxy S22 series have been spotted on Geekbench running the One UI 7 update based on Android 15.
