Samsung continues beta testing One UI 7 for its older flagship devices, pushing the sixth beta build for the Galaxy S24 series. If rumors are true, this is the final beta firmware for the phone before Samsung pushes the final stable update in April. Alongside the Galaxy S24, Samsung also pushed the second One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy S23 lineup. Both builds add some Galaxy S25-exclusive features.

The ZYCE firmware for both flagship Galaxy phones weighs around 1.2GB and contains the April 2025 security patch (via @tarunvats33). It even fixes the same set of bugs on both phones, including addressing issues with widget letters and overlaps, NFC tags not being recognized with the cover closed, and rendering issues with the Media Control UI.
Samsung’s newest beta releases for the Galaxy S24 and S23 come less than a day after it seeded the third Android 15 beta for its 2024 foldables — the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 — packing many features from the S25 lineup. Unsurprisingly, the newest One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy S24 carries many of the same features. This includes being able to trigger Gemini by long-pressing the side button, being able to summarize web pages, creating your own stickers from images, and generating transcripts of recorded calls.
These features are also coming to the Galaxy S23, but it will miss out on support for natural language search in the Settings menu and Audio Eraser. The latter two features debuted on the Galaxy S25 and are only coming to the Galaxy S24, Z Fold 6, and Flip 6.
One UI 7’s public release is almost here
The latest One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy S24 and S23 is currently available for download in South Korea, India, and the UK. If you are on the beta program, grab the update from Settings > Software update > Download and install.
Based on Samsung’s official One UI 7 release timeline, the stable Android 15 update will first go live for the Galaxy S24, Z Fold 6, and Flip 6 beginning April 7. A week later, the update will expand to the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5, and Flip 5. Older flagship Galaxy devices will then get the update in the following weeks.
