This milestone marks a significant upgrade for these flagship devices, bringing a host of new features, improvements, and enhanced user experiences.
Rollout Details
As of April 10, 2025, users of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 in the US can expect to see the One UI 7 update available on their devices. This rollout follows a similar pattern observed in other regions, such as Korea and parts of Europe, where the update was released earlier[2][3].
The update is being rolled out in phases, meaning not all users will receive it immediately. Beta participants are among the first to receive the stable update, with non-beta users to follow shortly. The file size varies, with beta users receiving a smaller update package of around 500MB, while those upgrading from One UI 6.1 or 6.1.1 will download a larger package of approximately 5GB or more[1][3].
New Features and Improvements
One UI 7 is more than just an incremental update; it introduces a slew of compelling features that enhance the overall user experience.
Fresh UI Overhaul
The new update brings a refined visual experience with curves and circles in buttons, menus, notifications, and sliders. The design is more polished, featuring vibrant colors, smooth animations, and blur effects that make the information hierarchy clearer and more immersive[3].
Enhanced Home Screen
Users will notice new app icons that enhance clarity and appearance. Widgets have been redesigned with unified sizes and layouts, and folders can now be shown larger for quick app access without opening them. The home screen layout has been streamlined, allowing users to choose from two different layouts for better app and widget organization[3].
AI-Driven Experiences
One UI 7 integrates Several AI-driven features, including Google Gemini, which can now perform multiple tasks seamlessly. For instance, you can ask Gemini to find game schedules and add them to your Calendar or save YouTube summaries to Samsung Notes. The Circle to Search feature allows you to look up anything on-screen by drawing a circle around it, and music detection identifies music playing around you without the need to switch apps[3].
Camera Features and Security
The update includes new camera features that leverage AI for better image processing and capture capabilities. Additionally, the update comes with the latest April 2025 security patch, ensuring that your device remains secure and up-to-date[1][5].
Task and Schedule Management
One UI 7 introduces easier task and schedule management with drag-and-drop schedule changes on the calendar’s monthly view. Users can also set up advanced automation with variables and conditions using routines, and even share or discover routines from other Galaxy users through the Good Lock app[3].
Compatibility and Future Rollouts
The initial rollout of One UI 7 is targeted at the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, Samsung has a broader rollout plan in place. Devices like the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and the Galaxy Tab S10 series are expected to receive the update in the coming weeks. Older models, such as the Galaxy S22 series and budget models, can expect the update in May or June[2][5].
