Samsung has officially released the stable One UI 7.0 and Android 15 update for Galaxy S23 series in India after the US, Korea, and global release. The rollout, delayed slightly from its original schedule, brings significant enhancements, including the April 2025 security patches.
Following its earlier deployment on the Galaxy S24 and recent foldable models, Samsung has now extended the upgrade to last year’s Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra. Identified by firmware version S91*BXXU8DYD9, the update weighs approximately 5GB, reflecting its extensive changes to both software and security.
To check for availability, navigate to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install. If the update appears, ensure sufficient storage and a stable internet connection before proceeding. Installation may take 15–20 minutes, depending on device performance. If the update isn’t immediately visible, users are advised to wait, as rollouts typically occur in phases over several days.
Key Features of One UI 7.0
The update prioritizes streamlined navigation with a redesigned Quick Panel separating notifications and controls, an app drawer with vertical scrolling, and redesigned widgets for visual consistency. Enhanced AI integration introduces tools like Real-Time Text, allowing users to highlight, summarize, or reformat text across apps. Galaxy AI now supports call recording with live transcription in 20 languages, including Italian, while Audio Eraser helps remove background noise from videos.
The Camera app receives a minimalist redesign, emphasizing Pro mode adjustments and smoother zoom transitions for video. The lock screen’s Now Bar mirrors iOS Live Activities, displaying real-time updates from supported apps. Collectively, One UI 7.0 underscores Samsung’s focus on cohesive design, smarter AI utilities, and deeper cross-device integration, setting the stage for future innovations.
