Summary: Samsung is now pushing One UI 7, its Android 15-based update, to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, its 2023 foldables. The firmware, rolling out in Korea first, is also coming to the Galaxy S23 series, the Galaxy S24 FE, the Galaxy Tab S10 lineup, and the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup.
The wait has been very long, but Samsung is finally rolling out One UI 7. The Android 15-based update has long been a desired topic of Galaxy phone and tablet fans. The company already began sending the OTA to most of its flagship phones last year. Now, the 2023 Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 are getting One UI 7.
Samsung has taken longer than expected to develop One UI 7. There is no specific reason for the delay, although there is much speculation. Samsung has only said that the process took a long time due to the many changes it was working on for the new firmware. However, it did not offer any further official details on the matter.
One UI 7 now reaching the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5
Anyway, Samsung is already rolling out the update for several flagship devices. The South Korean giant sent it to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5, its 2023 foldable handsets. Units in Korea are the first to receive notification of the update’s availability. It’s noteworthy that more “older” Samsung models received the same treatment today in the country. The list includes the Galaxy S23 series, the Galaxy S24 FE, the Galaxy Tab S10 lineup, and the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup. Previously, the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6 began receiving it globally.
The update is likely not yet available for your phone. However, once it is, you should see a notification inviting you to download and install it. You can also try a manual check in your phone’s Settings > Software update > Download and install.
One UI 7 comes with a complete cosmetic revamp of Samsung’s custom skin. The company implemented new design guidelines throughout the OS. There’s also a better animation engine that makes animations much more detailed than before. Lastly, the company also refreshed the UI of its system apps and integrated more customization options than ever before.
