Samsung has finally released One UI 7 as the latest interface based on Android 15. This user interface update has quite a bit in store, with a new design, revamped multitasking, and augmented AI features to spice things up. But while Galaxy users can't wait to get their hands on these improvements, the burning question continues to remain: which devices will get it first, and when?

Flagship Devices Leading The Charge

In Beta Testing and Final Release

Conclusion
