Samsung's One UI 7, based on Android 15, marks a major departure from their typical update schedule. Launched in December last year, the beta program concluded after just a month. With the release of the Galaxy S25 Series, Samsung has provided additional information regarding the One UI 7 rollout for Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Learn which models will get the update first.

One UI 7 Confirmed for the Galaxy S Range

Samsung’s Android 15 rollout is lagging behind, and it’s not a good look for a brand that usually sets the pace. While OnePlus and Xiaomi have already pushed out their updates, Samsung seems to be dragging its feet. The One UI 7 beta wrapped up last week after launching last month, but the stable release? Still in limbo.

Samsung officially began rolling out the stable One UI 7 update with the launch of its new Galaxy S25 models, on January 22, 2025. The Galaxy S25 series will come with One UI 7 pre-installed, while older flagships—such as the Galaxy S24, S23, S22, and S21—will have to wait their turn for the update. As for Galaxy S20 users? Unfortunately, Android 14 was your final update.

What About Other Samsung Galaxy Models?

Samsung hasn’t dropped an official list of Galaxy devices getting Android 15 yet, but we can make some educated guesses. Based on their software policy, One UI 7 should eventually make its way to mid-range and budget models, though the rollout for these devices will likely trail behind the flagship updates.

For now, we’ve compiled a list of Galaxy smartphones and tablets expected to receive the update, focusing on devices with software support extending into 2025 and beyond. Of course, this list is speculative and will be updated as soon as Samsung confirms the official lineup.

Besides the models listed above, all models released throughout 2024 should also be eligible for the Android 15 upgrade. This includes the entry-level models announced in the first week of the year, such as the Galaxy A05s, A15, and A25, and the recently unveiled Galaxy A06 and Galaxy A16.

As in the past few years, we expect to see Samsung confirm its list of Galaxy phones and tablets eligible for the Android 15 update as soon as it starts updating the first model. The list is traditionally shared on the Samsung Members app with the expected timeframe for the update on the phone's market. When that happens, we will update this list to follow the rollout, so be sure to bookmark this page and follow us on social media.

Having written about technology since 2008 for a number of websites in Brazil, Spain, Denmark, and Germany, I specialize in the mobile ecosystem, including various models, components, and apps. I tend to not only value performance and specifications, but also things like repairability, durability, and manufacturer support. I tend to prioritize the end-user's point of view whenever possible.

    Exciting to see Samsung smoothly rolling out Android 14 and sharing a clear plan for Android 15 updates. Their swift handling of flagship and mid-range phones is impressive, even if Google's Pixel leads in speed. The breakdown of models for Android 15 across the Galaxy series and tabs is super helpful. Looking forward to staying in the loop as the Android 15 release date approaches! On android you can enjoy this game.
