One UI 7 (Android 15) beta: Which Galaxy phones will get it?

Sometime this month or the next, Samsung will launch the One UI 7.0 Beta Program and invite Galaxy smartphone users in select countries to test the next version of One UI and Android 15.

Samsung will use feedback provided by beta testers to fix bugs and issues so it can get the final version of the Android 15 and One UI 7.0 update out as quickly as possible.

Not everyone will be able to test the new software, even if they own a device eligible for One UI 7 and Android 15. Only a limited number of Galaxy smartphones will be eligible for the beta program.

The latest flagships, like the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy Z Fold 6, are sure to be on the list, but what about other devices?

Galaxy phones that could get One UI 7.0 (Android 15) beta

Samsung has not officially revealed details about the One UI 7.0 beta as of August 2, but we can make an educated guess based on Samsung's long history of One UI beta programs. The following are the devices that have a high likelihood of getting the One UI 7.0 beta.

Samsung may include more devices, particularly mid-range ones, in the beta program. However, Samsung doesn't follow a set pattern when it comes to bringing One UI beta updates to mid-range devices. We will have to wait and see what the company has in store this year.

For flagship phones launched in the last couple of years, One UI 7.0 will be preceeded by One UI 6.1.1. The time frame for the One UI 6.1.1 update's release is unknown as of August 2, but we expect it to go live sometime before September.

Be sure to bookmark this page so you can check back for any new information that becomes available in the coming days and weeks.

One UI 7.0 features: What to expect

One UI 7.0 will be among the biggest upgrades in years, especially as far as the user interface is concerned. Quite a few of the expected changes and new features have leaked online, and some of the major ones are listed below.

  • New system app icons
  • New background interface
  • A new control area at the bottom of the lock screen
  • Adjustment of shortcut icons (size?) in the left and right corners of the lock screen
  • Pull-down shortcut bar and notification can be independent/merged
  • The pill-shaped UI element in the upper left corner notification bar can display more apps
  • Added interruptible animation and optimized app opening and closing animation curve
  • New battery icon and charging animation bar
  • New camera user interface
  • Added support for 5G SMS messages
  • New notification pop-up animations and closing animations
  • Added unlock animation
  • New button touch and page return animation
  • Added many new desktop widgets of various sizes
  • Added more lock screen widgets
  • Added large folders

One UI 7.0 may not bring new Galaxy AI features. The new AI features from the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, which you can check out in the video below, will come to supported devices with the One UI 6.1.1 update.

Not so fast: Galaxy S22’s One UI 6.1 update halted due to a bug

  • Samsung recently began rolling out One UI 6.1 with Galaxy AI features to the Galaxy S22 series, starting with South Korea.
  • However, some critical bugs have been spotted in the update, so the rollout has been halted.

The Galaxy S22 series was launched in 2022, and the phones have aged quite gracefully thanks to the flagship headroom that they launched with. Samsung has newer flagships in the form of the Galaxy S24 series, but the company is bringing over its highlight Galaxy AI software features to the older Galaxy S22 series. The One UI 6.1 update with these features had just begun rolling out to the Galaxy S22 series, but it seems that rollout has been temporarily halted.

X user Tarun Vats noticed that the One UI 6.1 build for the Galaxy S22 series has been reverted from Samsung’s FOTA server. We spotted user reports on Samsung Community forums indicating that the Galaxy S22 series update was halted due to bugs. It appears that after updating, in some cases, the lock screen stops working, followed by the touch screen, prompting the need for a factory reset.

  • Samsung has quietly pushed the One UI 6.1 update to the Galaxy S22 series in Korea.
  • The update brings Galaxy AI features to the company’s 2022 flagship phones.
  • We’re guessing a wider release can’t be far away now.

The Galaxy S24 series launched with a variety of Galaxy AI features. We’ve already seen most of these features come to the Galaxy S23 series and several other flagship phones as part of the One UI 6.1 update, but it looks like the Galaxy S22 series is next in line.

Galaxy S22 owners in Korea have confirmed that Samsung has pushed the One UI 6.1 update to their phones (h/t: Tarun Vats), weighing in at 3.1GB. Check out the machine-translated screenshots below.

Here are all One UI 6.1 features and improvements for 2022 and 2021 Galaxy flagships

Earlier this week, Samsung finally released the One UI 6.1 update for flagship phones launched prior to 2023. It's a limited rollout as the update is only available in Korea as of May 3, and Samsung has even paused the rollout for the Galaxy S22 series due to unforeseen issues.

Still, with the update released for at least one market, we can expect the rollout to pick up pace in the coming days. Galaxy Z Fold 4, Fold 3, Flip 4, Z Flip 3, Galaxy S22, Galaxy S21, and Galaxy Tab S8 owners around the world should soon be able to download One UI 6.1.

If you own one of the mentioned devices, what features, changes and improvements can you expect once you update to One UI 6.1? More importantly: will you get all the Galaxy AI features with One UI 6.1?

The official changelog below has the answer you're looking for. The changelog for these devices is very similar to that of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5. The major difference is that the Galaxy S21 and other devices launched in the same year only get the Circle to Search AI feature.

A few non-AI changes and improvements may also be missing even if they are mentioned in the changelog, but for the most part, everything listed below should be available on the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Fold 3, Flip 4, Z Flip 3, S22, S21, and Tab S8.

Things to do once you get One UI 6.1 on your Galaxy phone

After a few months of waiting, Samsung's 2021 and 2022 flagship phones have finally started getting the highly anticipated One UI 6.1 update with Galaxy AI features. Yesterday, Samsung began the One UI 6.1 rollout for the Galaxy Z3 and Z4 lineups, the Galaxy S21 series, and the Galaxy S22 trio of 2022 flagships.

At the moment, the One UI 6.1 update is available only in Korea, but it should reach more markets soon, even though Samsung may have halted the update for the Galaxy S22 due to alleged boot issues.

In any case, this firmware release brings many new features and at least one under-the-hood change you need to be aware of if you're a latecomer to One UI 6.1 and are now waiting for this fresh release.

Without further ado, here are the first things you should do once you get One UI 6.1 on your 2021 or 2022 high-end phone.

Bring back Notification Categories

One of the One UI 6.1 update's quirks is that it hides the Notification Categories menu, preventing users from managing notification types on the go.

As you probably know, the brilliant Notification Categories feature lets One UI users choose which notification types they can receive from apps individually. For example, it lets you turn off miscellaneous and marketing notifications for apps while keeping other, more important notification types enabled.

More so, this feature lets users manage notification types on the fly by tapping and holding a notification they don't like and turning it off with just a few screen taps.

Although this feature is now hidden in One UI 6.1, it still exists, and you can bring it back. To do this, open the Settings app, access “Notifications,” go to “Advanced settings,” and tap the “Manage notification categories for each app” toggle ON.

Beware the missing Samsung gestures

One other change you need to be aware of once you update your phone to One UI 6.1 is that Samsung navigation gestures are gone. The only remaining options are on-screen nav buttons and the arguably superior Google navigation gestures.

However, if you prefer Samsung gestures and you're actively using them, you won't be able to once you update to One UI 6.1. But fortunately, there is a way to re-enable them.

You can bring Samsung gestures back through the NavStar Good Lock module, regardless of whether or not you're in a market where Good Lock is supported. Check out our full guide for more details on how to use Samsung gestures in One UI 6.1.

Try these Galaxy AI features

On the more enjoyable side of things, the One UI 6.1 update brings Galaxy AI to your older flagship phone. For 2022 Galaxy flagships, the AI suite consists of almost everything that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series, except for Instant Slow Mo inside the Gallery app.

For 2021 flagships, things look a bit sadder, as it seems like there's only one Galaxy AI feature available for the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Z Flip 3, and Galaxy S21 series, and that is Circle to Search.

Once you get One UI 6.1, you'll probably want to try some Galaxy AI tools before others. We recommend taking Generative Wallpaper, Generative Edit, and Circle to Search for a spin.

  • To access Generative Edit, pinch the home screen, go to “Wallpaper and style,” tap “Change wallpapers,” select “Generative” under the Creative category, and start generating AI wallpapers based on keywords.
  • To use Generative Edit, open the Gallery app, select an image you want to edit, tap the pencil-shaped button, and then press the Generative AI icon that looks like a couple of stars on a blue gradient background. Check our review for all you need to know about Generative AI.
  • To use Circle to Search, simply tap and hold the home button/gesture handle and then circle around or tap objects on the screen to view relevant web searches. It's that simple.

Galaxy AI brings a few other tools you may try, albeit they are focused more on productivity. As long as you are using a 2022 flagship model with One UI 6.1, you can summarize articles in Samsung Internet and Samsung Notes, use the new AI-powered Interpreter, translate calls on the fly, and even change the tone of your messages with Chat Assist.

Lastly, you should keep in mind that you can manage most of these new Galaxy AI features individually by opening the Settings app, accessing “Advanced features,” and tapping “Advanced intelligence.”

One UI 6.1 rollout for Galaxy S22 possibly halted to address boot issues

Earlier this week, Samsung started rolling out the One UI 6.1 update to flagship smartphones launched in 2021 and 2022. The Galaxy S22 series is on the list of devices getting One UI 6.1, but it appears that Samsung may have halted the rollout because of errors some users have faced after updating their Galaxy S22, S22+, or S22 Ultra.

The rollout has reportedly been paused because some Galaxy S22 units may fail to boot or unlock after the update has been installed. However, users on the Samsung Community forums in Korea, the only market where One UI 6.1 has been released for now, don’t seem to have run into any issues themselves.

Users who haven't already updated to One UI 6.1 may want to wait

Furthermore, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed that it has paused the rollout nor acknowledged any issues, so it's not fully confirmed that the update has been taken off the air.

Still, Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra owners who haven't already updated to One UI 6.1 might want to wait for more information to come out before proceeding with the installation.

In fact, Galaxy S21, Z Fold 4, Fold 3, Flip 4, and Flip 3 owners may also want to stay on One UI 6.0 for the time being, as boot or unlock issues are not uncommon with major software updates and the fix often involves factory resetting affected devices.

Since the One UI 6.1 update for pre-2023 Galaxy devices has not been released outside Korea yet, Samsung should be able to get things under control before the situation gets out of hand. However, this could mean that the update will be delayed by a few days or even weeks.

We'll let you know when we learn more, so stay tuned.

Galaxy S22 a další zařízení z roku 2022 konečně dostanou aktualizaci One UI 6.1 s Galaxy AI

galaxy-s22-a-dalsi-zarizeni-z roku-2022-konecne-dostanou-aktualizaci-one-ui-6.1-s galaxy-ai

Je to jen něco málo přes dva týdny, co Samsung oznámil , že přináší One UI 6.1 spolu s nejlepšími funkcemi Galaxy AI do zařízení Galaxy S22 a dalších telefonů současně.

Zdá se, že zavádění konečně začalo, alespoň v Jižní Koreji, kde uživatelé nyní dostávají aktualizaci na svých zařízeních. Dá se s jistotou říci, že krátce poté bude aktualizace dostupná v několika regionech.

Informace byly sdíleny uživateli na fórech Samsung, což naznačuje, že Galaxy S22 nyní dostává aktualizaci One UI 6.1. Dobrou zprávou je, že aktualizace vyjde i na další zařízení ze stejné doby, takže na aktualizaci jsou v řadě i Galaxy Z Fold 3 a Flip 3 a Samsungu by příprava sestavení neměla trvat dlouho. pro tato zařízení.

Zdroj: Samsung

Nyní je snímek obrazovky výše z Galaxy S22, který obdržel aktualizaci One UI 6.1, a je také strojově přeložený, ale dává nám dostatečnou představu o tom, co přichází s nejnovější aktualizací a co ne. Naštěstí přichází i Circle to Search, což je shodou okolností moje oblíbená funkce. Další funkce, jako je překlad v reálném čase při hovorech, souhrny webových stránek a tlumočník, si také razí cestu. Takže z větší části jste pokryti a tyto funkce by měly fungovat tak, jak jsou zamýšleny. Po téměř dvou týdnech strávených s Galaxy S24 Ultra si opravdu nedokážu představit život bez Circle to Search, protože je to jedna z nejpohodlnějších funkcí.

Stojí za zmínku, že Galaxy S22 v současné době získává aktualizace pouze v Jižní Koreji. Nemělo by však trvat dlouho, než bude tato aktualizace uvedena do dalších regionů. Nemůžu se dočkat, až všichni uživatelé vyzkouší tyto funkce Galaxy AI, protože jsou opravdu něco, zvláště pokud chcete, aby byl váš smartphone chytřejší a ještě jednodušší.

Jedinou funkcí, která nepřichází do starší řady Galaxy S22, je funkce okamžitého zpomalení, ale nemyslím si, že by to pro mnoho lidí mělo být problémem. Vše ostatní by mělo být dostupné, včetně nové a vylepšené funkce jednoho záběru, která byla spuštěna s řadou Galaxy S24.

Used Samsung phones to avoid if you don’t want display green line issues

Buying a used phone is always a gamble. It might work fine now but you never know what gremlins it must be hiding. When they do surface, you could be on the hook for expensive repairs, particularly if the devices are out of warranty.

If you're in the market for a used Samsung phone, it might be best to avoid the models that have the display green line issue. Samsung has been offering free display replacements in select markets but there's a time limit on that offer. If you get caught outside that window, you'll have to pay for the costly display replacement yourself.

We first heard about the display green line issue on some Samsung phones last year. Users reported seeing unusual green lines on their device's display. What was particularly confusing was the fact that these lines didn't appear because people dropped their phones or bumped something sharp on the display. The lines appeared after a software update.

The issue seems to plague Samsung devices that have Super AMOLED displays. There have even been similar reports about phones from other companies that use Samsung displays in their devices. It's unclear precisely what's causing the issue. Samsung hasn't shed much light on it, even though it has offered free display replacements.

Galaxy S20, S21, S22, and Note 20 series are most affected

The display green line issue affects the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21, and Galaxy S22 series as well as the Galaxy Note 20 series. Any model from these lineups could develop the problem, but that's not to say it most certainly will. The affected units are still few and far between when you consider that Samsung has sold tens of millions of units across all of these product lines.

Nevertheless, if you're going to buy a used Samsung phone, it would be best to steer clear of these models if you don't want to deal with a potential problem with the display later on. Samsung's free one-time display replacement offer for out of warranty devices ends on April 30, 2024, anyway, so don't count on a free fix beyond that.

Galaxy S21 and S22 with green line issue in India get free display replacement

Reports about green lines appearing on the display of some Samsung devices have been going around since last year. This is a big enough issue that the company has officially responded in some markets with the offer of providing a free one-time display replacement for out of warranty devices.

Samsung has been offering these display replacements for select models in India since last year, and the company has now expanded the list of supported models to include the Galaxy S21 and the Galaxy S22 series as well.

There's now a deadline to avail this replacement offer

This green line issue has primarily been reported on devices with Super AMOLED displays. Reports about the issue have reemerged over the past couple of weeks, highlighting the fact that even more devices suffer from it now, requiring Samsung to expand the free replacement offer to additional models.

Samsung India has been providing a free display replacement for affected devices since July last year. The eligible devices included the Galaxy S20 series and the Galaxy Note 20 series. The company has now expanded this list to include the Galaxy S21 series and the Galaxy S22 series.

Just like last year, all devices will also be offered a free battery and kit replacement, but it appears that there's now a deadline to avail this offer. Appointments must be booked at a Samsung Service Center until 30th April, 2024 to get a free replacement from the company.

Customers are effectively getting their entire device refurbished with this offer. Getting a new lease on life for a device like the Galaxy S22 that's still relatively modern and will have software support for some time as well is a deal too good to pass up.

Umělá inteligence v Galaxy se v květnu konečně objeví v Galaxy S22, Galaxy Flip 4 a Galaxy Fold 4

Zdá se, že společnost Samsung konečně našla způsob, jak přinést své funkce Galaxy AI do starších telefonů Samsung s uživatelským rozhraním One UI 6.1. Moderátor komunity nyní potvrdil, že Galaxy S22, Galaxy Z Fold 4 a Galaxy Z Flip 4 dostanou aktualizaci One UI 6.1 na začátku května. Tato aktualizace přinese funkce související s umělou inteligencí, na které se většina lidí těšila.

To je skvělá zpráva pro uživatele Galaxy S22 i pro uživatele jiných zařízení, která byla vydána před několika lety. Moderátor potvrdil, že tato zařízení dostanou funkce AI na úrovni Galaxy S23, což znamená, že všechny funkce Galaxy AI, které Samsung dosud vydal, se dostanou i na starší zařízení.

To samé bohužel nelze říci o uživatelích Galaxy S21. Přestože telefony dostanou One UI 6.1, nebudou přítomny všechny funkce Galaxy AI a ty přítomné budou pravděpodobně vyžadovat připojení k internetu, protože budou fungovat z cloudu.

Moderátor společnosti Samsung hovořil o tom, že se One UI 6.1 spolu s aktualizací Galaxy AI dostane na telefony Galaxy S22, S22+, S22 Ultra, Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4, Tab S8, Tab S8+ a Tab S8 Ultra. Tato zařízení dostanou všechny skvělé funkce založené na umělé inteligenci, jako jsou Generativní úpravy, Shrnutí, Kruh k vyhledávání a další.

Co se týče zařízení z roku 2021, jsou v pořadí Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra, Z Flip 3 a Z Fold 3, které dostanou aktualizaci Galaxy AI. Tato zařízení však dostanou pouze funkce Circle to Search a Magic Rewrite, což sice není tak působivé jako některé jiné funkce založené na AI, ale Samsung alespoň pracuje na tom, aby starší zařízení nebyla vynechána.

Samsung přináší umělou inteligenci Galaxy AI i do starších zařízení, což je tak působivé, jak jen to jde. Jihokorejský model AI se do značné míry spoléhá na Gemini Nano, který umožňuje moderním zařízením Galaxy S24 využívat AI lokálně. Model však může mít určité problémy s provozem na zařízeních z let 2022 a 2021. Odhaduji, že zde bude zapojeno velké množství cloudového zpracování, přičemž část zátěže bude předána zařízení, které ji bude muset zpracovávat lokálně. Ať tak či onak, stále se jedná o velmi působivý úspěch.

Další otázkou, která mě napadá, je, zda se budoucí funkce Galaxy AI nedostanou i do starších zařízení. S postupujícím vývojem bude generativní umělá inteligence složitější a bude vyžadovat více prostředků, a proto bude nejlepší, když budou přenechány schopnějším zařízením, jako je řada Galaxy S24 a připravovaná zařízení Galaxy Z.

What does it take to replace your Galaxy S22’s battery or screen?

The Galaxy S24 series is getting all the attention nowadays, but your Galaxy S22 series device is treating you just fine. Whether you own the base model, the Plus, or the Ultra, you're not ready to give up on your Galaxy S22 just yet, and that's fine by us. We think the 2022 model is still a great phone, regardless of whether it's the Snapdragon or Exynos variant.

Nevertheless, after two years of usage, you may feel like your Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, or Galaxy S22 Ultra's battery doesn't last as long as it used to on a single charge. You want to keep using the phone and wish its battery could last as it used to.

Or perhaps the screen has too many scratches, and the frame is too scuffed. You'd like to give your Galaxy S22, S22+, or S22 Ultra a shiny new look without breaking the bank.

However, your phone is out of warranty, and you're not sure where to start. Well, this might be just the place. Stick around, and we'll try pointing you in the right direction for all the information you need.

What are your options to renew your Galaxy S22-series device?

Samsung offers in-store repairs in every market. In addition, in some markets like the USA, UK, Europe, India, and others, the company may also offer doorstep repair services, mail-in options, and pick-up repair services.

And if you're a DIY enthusiast, Samsung has launched the Self-Repair program in several markets, including the USA and Europe. This option lets you buy the parts and tools you need to replace your Galaxy S22's battery and screen yourself. Samsung also provides online instructions through its partners, such as iFixit.

You can save some money using the DIY Self-Repair program, but there's the risk of damaging other Galaxy S22 components. It's a risk you'll have to decide whether or not you want to take.

Ultimately, it's up to you to decide which repair method works best. You should be able to find more information about the repair options available in your market on Samsung's website. Here are a few examples:

What can you repair on your Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra?

One key thing to remember if you want to replace your Galaxy S22, S22+, or S22 Ultra's battery or screen is that they often come together in one kit. In most markets, you can replace either your screen or the entire screen module, which includes the display, metal frame, and battery.

However, in most markets, you cannot change only the battery without the other components. The battery replacement kit usually includes the screen assembly.

As for prices, we'll use the US market as an example. Here's an estimate of what you should expect to pay for a screen or screen module replacement for your Galaxy S22 device if you want Samsung to do the work:

  • Galaxy S22 screen repair — $174.
  • Galaxy S22+ screen repair — $199.
  • Galaxy S22 Ultra screen repair — $249.
  • Galaxy S22 screen module (display+battery+frame) replacement — $199.
  • Galaxy S22+ screen module replacement — $229.
  • Galaxy S22 Ultra screen module replacement — $289.

If you want to DIY and use the Self-Repair program, as of this writing, Samsung's partner iFixit offers assemblies (display + battery + frame), with and without the tools you need for DIY repairs, for the following prices:

  • Galaxy S22 screen + battery + frame module for $159 / $166 with iFixit tool kit.
  • Galaxy S22+ screen + battery + frame for $182 / $189 with iFixit tool kit.
  • Galaxy S22 Ultra screen + battery + frame $232 / $239 with iFixit tool kit.

You can renew and personalize your Galaxy S22

One last tip we have for you is that, if you go the DIY route and use Samsung's Self-Repair program to renew your Galaxy S22, S22+, or S22 Ultra, nothing is stopping you from mixing and matching colors and creating combos that even Samsung hasn't offered.

The repair kits for the Galaxy S22 don't include the back panel. You can buy those separately, but let's assume you don't have to. Well, nobody says you can't mix, for example, your Dark Green Galaxy S22 back panel with a Dark Gray or Pink Gold metal frame.

As long as you find the right color choices in stock for screen modules + frames, you can create dozens of color combinations that were never officially on sale for the Galaxy S22 series.
