Samsung Galaxy S23 models start receiving One UI 7

Samsung is finally ready with One UI 7, and has started shipping it first to last year's flagship models. Today, we can confirm that Galaxy S23 units are also receiving the Android 15 update.

Users who participated in the beta program will need a relatively modest 900 MB update, while those on the stable version will need to download a 5 GB package, so it is better to make sure there's enough room. The update also includes the latest April 2025 security patch.

The update is for Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra phones. We checked the full changelog, which is about the same as for other non-current-gen flagships.

The phones are getting more Galaxy AI features, Google Gemini on long-press the side button, and a more fluid and refined visual experience.

According to a report, the update will reach devices from 2021, in line with European Union regulations that require manufacturers to provide at least five years of software updates.

This means that the Galaxy S23 series should be followed by Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 devices, as well as foldables as old as the Z Fold3 and Z Flip3.
