We've been waiting a long time, but the first beta of One UI 7.0 is still nowhere to be seen. At this time in previous years, Samsung would have been close to releasing the stable version. Fortunately, a new leak suggests that Samsung is getting ready to release the One UI 7.0 beta for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 series.

Why is One UI 7.0 being delayed so long? It's a huge update. Samsung is making a lot of changes to the user interface. Over the past few months, we've seen a number of leaks about what One UI 7.0 will bring.

The leak suggests that One UI 7.0 will feature an iOS-style Notification shade, completely separate from the Quick Settings panel. Many other Android skins have a similar look, including HiOS, XOS, and HyperOS.

Now, a major leak has revealed a lot of details about One UI 7.0. Samsung is reportedly making a number of major software changes.

One UI 7.0 Beta is Coming Soon to Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24

Leakster @tarunvats33 has posted two screenshots to X showing forum pages for the One UI 7 Beta Program for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 series.

This confirms that Samsung is getting ready for the upcoming beta. It's still unclear when the first One UI 7.0 beta will be released. However, the existence of the forum pages gives me hope that we won't have to wait too long.
