Samsung Announces One UI 7 Rollout as Security Concerns Loom

The update begins April 7 for flagship devices, but pressure mounts to address a critical vulnerability before the March 25 U.S. government deadline.

Samsung confirms the One UI 7 update will start rolling out on April 7, beginning with the Galaxy S24 series and current-generation foldable devices.
The update will gradually expand to older flagship models, mid-range Galaxy A-series phones, and tablets like the Galaxy Tab S10 and S9.
One UI 7 introduces features such as the Now Bar, AI Select, and Writing Assist, though some features are limited to newer devices.
The U.S. government has set a March 25 deadline for Samsung to address a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2024-50302), but no fix has been announced yet.
Samsung faces criticism for both the delayed rollout of One UI 7, months after Android 15's release, and the lack of a timeline for resolving the security issue.
