Samsung will launch the Galaxy S25 series in mid-January, at which point the new flagship phones will become Samsung’s first Android 15 devices. The Galaxy S25 will launch running Android 15 with One UI 7 on top, after which Samsung will begin updating its other devices to Google’s latest operating system.
That’s hardly a surprise, considering Samsung has never been known for fast Android updates. Also, remember that Google’s Pixel 9 phones launched with Android 14 this year.
However, Samsung will update multiple devices to Android 15, as it has multi-year software guarantees in place. Android 15 is coming, and it’s only a matter of time. Until that happens, Galaxy phone users who want to participate in Samsung’s Android 15 beta test can experience One UI 7 right now.
The first beta is out, and — perhaps also unsurprisingly — Samsung’s One UI 7 looks a whole lot like Apple’s iOS 18.
