Many Galaxy users around the world have already started receiving the new version of the user interface on their devices. We need to find out who can already install the update and what innovations it will bring.
Who has access to the One UI 7 update?
The One UI 7 update becomes available to users again after a suspension caused by detected errors in the initial version. According to numerous reports from the Reddit and Samsung Community forums, owners of Galaxy S24 series devices in the US are already receiving the update.
Geographically, the list of countries where the update is already available is quite extensive, with users from Egypt, Kenya, Mauritius, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Turkey reporting the update on their Galaxy S24 Ultra.
What is especially pleasing is that not only smartphones of the S24 series receive a new version of the interface. According to information from social networks and specialized resources, owners of Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 folding smartphones in India, South Africa and Thailand have also started receiving One UI 7.
What’s new in One UI 7
Update One UI 7 can not be called just cosmetic — it makes a number of significant changes to the interface and functionality of Samsung devices. The new features should make using your devices more convenient.
Here is what is included in the list of major innovations of One UI 7:

When to wait for the update to One UI 7
