After taking its sweet time, Samsung has finally rolled out the beta for One UI 7.0, arguably the company’s biggest software overhaul ever for the Korean smartphone maker. The new update includes tons of visual enhancements, along with productivity, health, and Galaxy AI features.
Who is eligible for OneUI 7 beta?
One UI 7 beta rollout began on December 5, starting with Germany, India, Korea, Poland, the UK and the US. Samsung is only rolling out the update to its 2024 flagship phones including the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, support for other devices should be added soon, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy S23 series.

What’s new with One UI 7?
Galaxy AI
Much like Apple, Samsung is adding support for writing tools with One UI 7 which allows users the option to summarize content, check spellings and grammar and even format long notes into bullet points. Moreover, the Korean smartphone maker is also adding support for call transcripts in 20 languages, including English (India) and Hindi.
The new feature can be enabled from the settings panel to automatically record calls and transcript notes for future reference.
Redesigned UI:
The new update includes significant design changes aimed at offering users greater control over their devices. A standout feature is the Now Bar, a notification system integrated into the lock screen, which provides quick access to frequently used tools such as the interpreter, music player, and stopwatch. Samsung has stated that this feature is part of its efforts to minimise unnecessary unlocking of devices while enhancing efficiency.
The interface also includes a redesigned home screen, improved widgets, and an updated lock screen, enabling users to customise their devices more intuitively. The camera application has been overhauled with reorganised controls for a clearer layout. Pro video modes now include simplified manual settings and a new zoom control for smoother transitions during recordings.
