Here’s When Your Samsung Galaxy Will Get Android 15 (One UI 7)

howtogeek.com:

Google announced Android 15 in February, full of new features and changes. Later this year, it'll be coming to Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets. Samsung will start beta testing Android 15 (One UI 7) this summer, and here's what you need to know.

Currently, the Android 15 beta is available on a wide array of Pixel phones, and other manufacturers like Samsung will join in shortly before its official release later this year. The first Galaxy phones to receive Android 15 (One UI 7) will likely be the Galaxy S24 series, with more to follow.

When Will Samsung Release Android 15?

Before Samsung officially releases the One UI 7 update (Android 15) for its Galaxy phones and tablets, owners in select regions with specific models can beta test the software early.

We have heard Samsung is internally testing the beta, but it's not yet ready for the public. If this year follows previous releases, we expect the first Android 15 beta to arrive around July or August for the Galaxy S24, which we saw with Android 14 last year for the Galaxy S23.

After the first initial round of Galaxy One UI 7 beta releases, it will slowly become available for more phones, such as the Galaxy S23 and S22 series, Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 5, and others. For example, last year, the S23 started things off in August, then the Galaxy S22 beta dropped in September, and so on.

So, when will the beta end and Samsung officially release Android 15 (One UI 7) for its phones and tablets? Again, it's too early to say for sure, but based on previous years, we anticipate the first updates will roll out in late October or early November, starting with the Galaxy S24. Samsung is one of the best at updates, but it also has a ton of phones, so those with an older device like the Galaxy S21 Ultra may end up waiting until early 2025. Either way, nothing will begin until Google releases it first.

What to Expect from One UI 7
