Samsung has its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S25 series, almost ready for release (here’s when to expect it). But it looks like there will be a major speed boost for one aspect of the current Galaxy S24 series — which is great news for those who have the S24, S24 Plus or S24 Ultra and won’t need to buy a new phone to get it.
Now, a third beta of the One UI 7 software has been launched, with changes to the UI in it, and a Samsung announcement has just revealed when we can expect the new software.
As well as the speed improvement, there are plenty of other additions in the One UI 7 free upgrade, such as an app drawer which scrolls vertically, complete with a message to alert users to the change. There are plenty of small changes, such as a new icon for Galaxy AI, new sounds like the ones discussed below, and updates to the settings in the Game Booster mode. Issues that had arisen in earlier versions of the software, such as lock screen shortcuts and volume key operations have also been fixed.
The new beta software is now rolling out to the Galaxy S24 series, and promises a lot of changes, including enhancements to the Now Bar that features on the lockscreen.
The speed boost is the most intriguing change and is down to the upcoming One UI 7 software Samsung is expected to unveil alongside the new S25 range. It’s one of the benefits of electronic goods — that with improved software, hardware can get better with age.
