Samsung's One UI 7 brings numerous improvements, visual changes, and AI enhancements, but the stable rollout has been slow. Users remain in the dark as the company has not yet confirmed a release timeline for the update. This delay comes as a surprise, especially with competitors like OnePlus and Nothing finishing their Android 15 rollout.

Typically, Samsung follows a pattern with One UI releases: beta updates for newer models followed by a stable version within a couple of months. However, the uncertainty surrounding One UI 7 has frustrated many Galaxy users. Let's take a closer look at Samsung's software rollout and what to expect for One UI 7.
