Timeline Speculation: When Will The Galaxy S24 Series Get Android 15 (One UI 7) Update?

Android 15-based One UI 7 update promises a wave of new features and optimisations for a better user experience and will reach many Galaxy devices by year's end.

The Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update garnered huge popularity among Galaxy fans, who are now waiting for the arrival of Android 15 with One UI 7 with bated breath.

Continuing last year's trend, which saw the Galaxy S23 series getting the One UI 6.0 update first, Samsung is expected to bring the Android 15-based One UI 7 update to its new Galaxy S24 series before any other handset gets it.

The word on the street is that Google has released the first developer preview of Android 15 for Pixel devices. However, the highly anticipated mobile operating system (OS) isn't likely to see the light of the day before July or August.

Samsung's next custom skin, One UI 7, is expected to launch a month or so after that (after August), provided Google doesn't deviate from its plan. In the meantime, key details about One UI 7 have been popping up on the internet.

For instance, Android 15-based One UI 7 will reportedly boast an impressive array of features and offer several optimisation options. Moreover, it is reportedly set to arrive on many Galaxy devices by the end of 2024.

Samsung, which was recently surpassed by Apple as the world's leading smartphone manufacturer, is still mum on the exact date for the next One UI release. However, the folks at SammyFans claim it will roll out to the Galaxy S24 trio, which recently received the ability to access AI-powered features through Bixby voice commands, in the third or fourth quarter of 2024.
