Samsung confirmed that the One UI 7 beta program would start by the end of the year, with the stable version set to arrive next year. We already have seen a leaked changelog of the update and also dived into the new features One UI 7 is expected to bring for Galaxy devices.

The first countries include South Korea and the United States.
A Samsung community forum moderator has already confirmed that the One UI 7 beta won"t be limited to developers and a public beta will launch as per schedule. Eligible users will be notified via the Samsung Members app, so, you may want to keep a check on that app. Samsung noted that this year"s beta program will be short, to bring a much more polished and less buggy beta experience for users.
It is expected that Samsung will fix one of the glaring issues with its beta updates, notably, the issue with financial apps on beta that often lag and fail to update. As for features, One UI 7 is expected to bring smoother animations, a toggle to disable thermal throttling, new icons, and much more. Stay tuned for more updates regarding One UI 7.
