Android 15 seems to be a minor upgrade overall, but Samsung’s updates could be more significant. A well-known tipster suggests that Samsung’s One UI 7, based on Android 15, might be the most transformative update in One UI’s history. Historically, One UI updates have primarily built on Android’s latest versions with a few new features from Samsung, but substantial changes have been scarce in recent iterations.
This trend might change this year with One UI 7, which the tipster Ice Universe claims will be the most altered version of One UI yet. However, the details of these changes are sparse. The tipster mentions that the icons will be redrawn, indicating potential design and animation updates, but specifics remain unclear. On Weibo, Ice Universe also notes modifications to the drop-down bar and updates to icon styles.
While Android 15 itself lacks significant changes, Samsung plans to introduce a new feature called “App Lock.” This feature will be distinct from the existing “Secure Folder,” suggesting a focus on enhanced security and privacy options for users.
Samsung is expected to test One UI 7 in a beta phase before officially launching it on devices like the Galaxy S23 series and the newly released Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6. These foldable devices, currently available for pre-order, offer substantial trade-in values, doubled storage for free, and additional perks, making them attractive options for early adopters.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, along with other new products like the Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Buds 3, Buds 3 Pro, Galaxy Watch 7, and Galaxy Watch Ultra, are set to start shipping on July 24. These releases indicate Samsung’s continued innovation and expansion in the tech market, promising exciting times ahead for Samsung users.
