April 7th – One UI 7 release date

Samsung has recently published a blog post on the official newsroom website saying that they’ve chosen Monday, April 7th, 2025 (date may be different in other markets), as the final One UI 7 release date starting point. This aligns with an earlier blog post from the company that was talking about the Beta program expansion for S23 series, Z Fold/Flip6, and Tab S10 where it stated that the official rollout will start within April, with the New Zealand version of the newsroom stating that the April rollout will be for all markets.

According to Samsung, One UI 7 brings “AI-driven enhancements that make everyday interactions more meaningful and intuitive.” They state that they’re going to start the rollout of the update with the Galaxy S24 series and the Z Fold/Flip6 foldables, and will expand the update gradually to other eligible Galaxy phones and tablets within the coming days and weeks, including, but not limited to:

  • Galaxy S24 FE
  • Galaxy S23 FE
  • Galaxy Z Fold/Flip 6
  • Galaxy Z Fold/Flip 5
  • Galaxy Tab S10
  • Galaxy Tab S9

Availability of the update and its timing will vary depending on the market, so be patient until the update appears. Then, you can enjoy the below One UI 7 features.

One UI 7 introduces a brand new interface built for AI, helping users interact with their devices more naturally than before while following the simple, impactful, and emotive design that leads to cohesive design. It includes Now Bar, which gives you real-time updates that matter the most on the lock screen, such as the stopwatch, voice recording, or even music playing and workout status.

Galaxy AI has been expanded in One UI 7 to introduce more features, such as:

  • AI Select: intuitively understands context and makes selection suggestions based on it. For example, while watching a video, AI Select suggests saving the video as GIF.
  • Writing Assist: easily summarizes or automatically formats content in which text can be selected to help you write meaningful sentences. Available in 2024 and 2023 flagships.
  • Drawing Assist: brings ideas to life with more than a single input, including combinations of text prompts and images or sketches. Available in 2024 and 2023 flagships.
  • Audio Eraser: isolates categories of sounds and removes unwanted sounds, such as wind noise and music. Available in 2024 flagships.
  • Deeper Gemini Integration: allows you to long-press your phone’s side button to let you give it voice prompts so that Gemini can pull information tailored to your needs.
  • Natural Search in Settings: lets you use natural language to search for a specific settings for your device. For example, say “My eyes are feeling tired,” and it pulls recommendations about enabling eye shield and adjusting brightness. Available in 2024 and 2023 flagships.

Of course, there are far more features introduced in One UI 7, which will begin its rollout of the stable update in April 7th.

One UI 7 Beta 5 automatically turns off battery protection after update

Samsung has recently revealed the fifth beta version of One UI 7 that fixed many bugs and improved several of the elements, including the battery charging animation on the status bar. However, people have been reporting that after the One UI 7 Beta 5 update gets installed to their phones, the battery protection would automatically turn off.

Luckily, people are able to turn the battery protection settings on. It’s just a case of a settings entry not preserving its value after the update, but it’s more like the battery protection has actually been turned off after the update.

This is taken from the Galaxy Tab S8, which is currently running One UI 6.1.1.

You can turn the battery protection back on by going to Settings > Battery > Battery protection, and turning the toggle on if it’s off after the update.

One UI 7 Beta 2 (foldables) changes the charging animation on the status bar

Samsung has recently released the second beta for the Z Fold/Flip 6 devices that are on the One UI 7 beta program, and users began spotting changes to the battery charging animation on the status bar. Posts on X, like the one posted by TheOneCid, started surfacing showing this change.

The battery pill now grows up to be wider, showing you the animated gradient of the battery with both the percentage and the lightning bold in the middle of the pill. It shows you that the phone is charging, then it shrinks back to its original size. This is one of the changes under the “Many other improvements” title.

To join the Beta program, open Samsung Members, find the One UI 7 banner similar to the one below, and click on the registration button.

Afterwards, follow the instructions on the screen. If everything is OK, go to Settings > Software update > Download and install. You’ll get the screen that looks similar to this:

Let it download, but it’s going to take a bit of time depending on your Internet connection. Afterwards, click on the Install button.

Remember: never interrupt the update process during the installation phase, and make sure that your phone is fully charged before proceeding. This is a precaution intended to avoid interruptions. For some markets, it’s advisable to put your device in a well-ventilated room to avoid green lines caused by heat in some AMOLED panels.

Does anyone know how to find a breakdown of what is included in Storage: Other on an unrooted #Samsung #Galaxy A02s phone?

My elderly uncle's phone is almost out of storage. Looking at his storage stats, there is 21Gb in Other, but I can't find it! Samsung's docs are completely unhelpful:
"The “Other” storage category contains data from apps you have installed on your smartphone or tablet. It includes items such as system files, cached data, and temporary files that do not fall into any other storage categories.
The data contained in the “Other” storage category cannot be deleted directly from your device. However, you can clear some of it by deleting cache or app data."

I've looked at the apps on his phone and none are using nearly that much. Downloaded CX File Explorer, but I don't see anything obvious with that either. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
