Samsung’s Android 15-based One UI 7 update is slowly making its way to Galaxy devices, starting with South Korea. Now, according to a recent leak, we have a more detailed look at the global release schedule for this anticipated software upgrade. If the information holds true, users of several Samsung devices may need to wait until May, June, or even July 2025 to receive the update.
Let’s break down the expected rollout timeline and what it means for your Galaxy device.
Rollout
The information comes from a Reddit user, @The_TAM, who claims to have spotted the One UI 7 release schedule within the Samsung Members app. A screenshot posted as part of the leak outlines the expected global update dates for various Galaxy models.
According to the timeline, Samsung is prioritizing its newest and flagship devices, with the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6 expected to get the update first by the end of April. That’s in line with earlier internal testing timelines.
Delays
However, not all devices will receive One UI 7 right away. The Galaxy S23 lineup, including the S23 FE, has reportedly been pushed back to May 2025. This delay also affects the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and the Galaxy Tab S10 series.
Even further down the schedule, devices like the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series, Galaxy A35 5G, Galaxy A55 5G, and several models from the Galaxy M and F lines are expected to receive the update in June. The Galaxy Tab A9, meanwhile, might not get it until July.
Bugs
Samsung’s rollout strategy is always cautious, and for good reason. The leak also mentions that a serious bug caused Samsung to pause the update for the Galaxy S24 series earlier this month. That could explain some of the timeline shifts. The company has been known to halt updates mid-rollout if bugs are discovered during deployment, and footnotes in the leaked document confirm this possibility.
