One UI 7 has become one of the most anticipated updates for Galaxy device fans. Leaks and official confirmations regarding the new firmware have revealed many details. However, now Galaxy S24 series users will be able to experience One UI 7 firsthand, as Samsung has started the open beta program for them.
Samsung had already confirmed that One UI 7 beta would be available in December. The time has come, at least for owners of the brand’s latest flagship phones. The first One UI 7 beta not only includes the revamped UI that we’ve seen in images and videos lately, but also a set of improvements and new features designed to enrich the user experience and boost productivity.
Camera app easier to use; improved Galaxy AI tools
Samsung redesigned its Camera app and introduced a QoL change that allows users to switch between their favorite camera buttons, controls, and modes from the preview screen. This makes it easier to use the app by allowing access to key options with fewer taps.
Galaxy AI has become a key part of the One UI experience, and Samsung is boosting up its suite with new features. Have you ever wished to use Samsung’s AI-powered writing and composing tools within any app? Well, One UI 7 will let you do just that. You will no longer have to constantly switch between apps.
Additionally, One UI 7 will automatically generate a transcript of all your recorded calls. You must have call recording enabled to enjoy the feature (currently supported in 20 languages).
Security and privacy improvements
Samsung included some improvements to privacy, security, and data transfer. First, the Knox Matrix dashboard will now let you check all connected devices at a glance. So, you will no longer have to access specific menus or options.
Plus, the experience of switching phones will now be much easier thanks to Credential Syncs. As its name suggests, the feature will include your app logins on data transfers to a new device. That means you won’t have to log back into all your apps. A recent leak revealed that Google is working on a similar feature. It’s possible that the Mountain View giant will release it on Galaxy devices. Remember Circle to Search? It was first available on the Galaxy S24 series.
One UI 7 beta now available for Galaxy S24 devices
Samsung also confirmed that the rollout of One UI 7 stable will begin in Q1 2025. However, Galaxy S24 series users can already enroll in the One UI 7 public beta through the Samsung Members app. Since this is an early beta, you may encounter some bugs. You can also expect to get more new features in upcoming beta updates.
