Samsung seems happy to say anything about One UI 7 except its wider availability

Samsung’s recent focus on promoting new features for the Galaxy Buds3 series has inadvertently highlighted the ongoing frustration among users regarding the delayed rollout of the One UI 7 update. In a blog post dated February 27, 2025, Samsung detailed enhancements for Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro owners, emphasizing advanced customization and convenient control through One UI 7.

These features include adjusting sound settings directly from the quick settings panel, personalizing sound profiles for specific apps, and utilizing the updated Adapt sound feature for tailored audio experiences. However, these improvements are currently exclusive to devices with One UI 7, which currently is the Galaxy S25 series, leaving a significant portion of Samsung’s user base without access to them.

Here’s a summary of One UI 7 and Galaxy Buds 3 features:

The delay in the One UI 7 rollout has been a point of contention among users. Traditionally, Samsung’s major updates have reached high-end devices by the end of the year, with mid-range and low-end devices following shortly after. As of now, no Samsung device, apart from the Galaxy S25 series, has received the stable One UI 7 update. This prolonged delay has led to widespread dissatisfaction, especially as Samsung continues to highlight features that remain inaccessible to the majority of its customers.

Adding to the uncertainty, a leaked timeline, which Samsung forum moderators have dismissed as “rumors”, suggests that the One UI 7 update might not arrive until April or May 2025 for many devices. This information, reportedly from a Zoom meeting about the S25 series, indicates that even flagship models like the Galaxy S24 and Z Fold 6 won’t receive the update until April 18. Older models, including the S21 series and 2023’s Z Fold 5, might have to wait until May. Mid-range Galaxy A devices, such as the A54 and A34, are also slated for updates in late April and May, while newer models like the A55 and A35 remain unconfirmed. These delays are purportedly due to Samsung’s focus on refining Galaxy AI features, though the company has not officially verified this information.

The lack of clear communication from Samsung regarding the One UI 7 rollout has only intensified user frustration. While the company continues to promote new features and devices, it remains silent on the delayed update schedule, leaving many users feeling overlooked and undervalued. As the tech community awaits official confirmation and a concrete timeline, the disparity between Samsung’s promotional activities and the actual availability of promised features continues to be a source of discontent.
