A few days ago, Google released a new beta version of Android 15, and Samsung seems to have acted upon it and started beta development of Android 15-based One UI 7.0 software internally for the Galaxy S24 series. This is the first sign that Samsung is preparing for the One UI 7.0 Beta Program for its latest flagship smartphone series.
Galaxy S24 Ultra One UI 7.0 internal development started
It has been revealed that Samsung has started internal development of One UI 7.0, which is likely based on Android 15. A new firmware that the company is internally testing for the Galaxy S24 Ultra has appeared on its servers. It bears firmware version S928BXXU2BXE2, and if you can notice, the fourth letter from the right has changed from A (in current firmware version S928BXXU1AXCB) to B, which only happens for major One UI versions.
You can see that firmware version on Samsung's servers in the screenshot below.
This new firmware for the Galaxy S24 Ultra has appeared for the European (EUX) region, and the development for other regions might start appearing soon on Samsung's servers. The development of One UI 7.0 may also start for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and other high-end Galaxy devices soon.
Editor's Note: Usually, Samsung starts internal development of a major new version of One UI as soon as Google releases the first Developer Beta version of Android. The South Korean firm has been internally testing Android 15 since the end of February 2024, and the new firmware version now visible on Samsung's servers is a sign that the company is in beta development, and the One UI 7.0 Beta Program for the Galaxy S24 series could start in the next few months.
