Indeed, Samsung’s One UI 7 is the most perfect upgrade in UI history, which the entire Galaxy family have been waiting for for long. The latest software brought about plenty of new features and enhancements that significantly drive the user experience to the next level. But such delays made it the most mysterious yet terrible update at the same time.
Basically, One UI 7 has been derailed right from the beginning, from its beta phase journey to just before the stable update rollout, it has been a mystery box that no one wants to open!
At the same time, the bug was encountered and thus resulting in an unwanted pause. This eventually led to frustrating behavior from the entire Galaxy family across the world, making this particular update a messy one.
One UI 7: Samsung’s award-winning effort!
More specifically, as mentioned, this is exactly the upgrade that the Galaxy audience wanted for so long in the UI history. Since the Galaxy S25 series became the first S portfolio that debuted with the latest Android 15-based One UI 7 stable version; however, other flagships like Galaxy S24 series have to test the build for a long.
Moving forward to its good aspects, it brought a brand new concept of notification system: Now Bar, which let all the updates appear on a pill-shaped bar on the Home screen, Lock screen and AOD. Later on, Samsung backed it up with the more personalized and smarter function: Now Brief, that offered more personalized briefings for any suggestive content via Now Bar on the Lock screen and home screen (status bar).
Next up, the update introduced the most-awaited vertical app drawer concept as well. At the same time, there are plenty of more improved Galaxy AI tools in order to boost productivity including Writing Assist, Drawing Assist, transcribe, Interpreter, call assist, and more other tools added within the camera app for pro-level editing.
One UI 7: Disappointments are higher as well
But lately, Samsung has highly disappointed its Galaxy audience when it comes to those pesky situations, despite the company being the most remarkable Android manufacturer. One UI 7 is still not settled correctly on the right timeline track.
This all started with a delayed beta program back in December, 2024, which continued with various non-stop beta builds. And the moment when finally Samsung began the One UI 7 stable rollout, it further got delayed due to a bug that resulted in an unwanted pause in the mid-rollout process.
But for now, it looks like Samsung has resumed the stable rollout as the Galaxy S24 series alongside Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 units received an additional One UI 7-based update in South Korea; hopefully, this could reach more regions soon.
Well, One UI 7 is great, but such pesky situations going around frustrate Samsung fans. It’s currently very uncertain how Samsung will come out of this not-so-nice web just before Android 16 lands!
