And now that One UI 7 is delayed, what will happen to the 7-year updates on your Samsung?

Delaying One UI 7 until 2025 takes us into unknown territory with Samsung, and the new Galaxy S was never released until the new major One UI update.

It’s finally official. No user Samsung I’d love to see this happen, but in fact One UI 7 is being permanently delayed until at least 2025, no doubt in an effort to give the Suwon, Seoul-based giant’s development team some extra time with which to complete the massive overhaul needed for One UI After a long time, it will finally arrive with Android 15 base version.

It’s not that the delay is strange, not at all, since this has happened and will happen not only with Samsung, but also with many manufacturers. What makes me doubt is that what will happen now after 7 years of updates promised by Samsung during the presentation of the Galaxy S24, and then from the South Koreans We are now entering uncharted territory..

The truth is that fifteen generations later, no Galaxy S was released before Samsung’s major software update on Android neither with TouchWiz, nor with Samsung Experience, nor now with One UI, so We don’t know very well how Samsung will fit into the next major updates your firmware in the future.

But let’s not stop there… Let’s analyze the situation!

If the Galaxy S24 doesn’t receive two major updates in 2025, it won’t receive the support it promised.

The first thing to note is that first year of support should include a major update Android, but this won’t happen with the Galaxy S24 because They will be updated after the Galaxy S25 arrives.on which One UI 7 will probably be released.

This means that or One UI 8 based on Android 16 aheadas long as expectations are met and development is simplified, or Samsung will begin to accumulate significant latency with updates. This is mainly because Galaxy S25 debuts with One 7 and One UI 8and will therefore systematically delay the entire chain.

If Samsung accumulates delays in releasing major One UI updates, it will have to extend active support beyond 7 years, otherwise it won’t come out with 7 updates for the Galaxy S24… Let’s see if OnePlus was right and provide a better experience!

There are many consequences because Samsung promised 7 years of support and 7 major updates systemsbut if large new firmware versions accumulate delays Over 7 years of support, only 5 or 6 new iterations of One UI will see the light of day.. The bottom line is that Samsung will have to speed up updates from Android 16 and later, otherwise it may extend years of support to achieve these 7 major updates.

And I know that many of you will be thinking, what a problem, because at the moment No one expects a smartphone to last 7 years this is far from true, but the truth is that Samsung will have to clarify road map updates, because 7 years of support is certainly a lot of years.

Would that much active support time be feasible or not? What do you think? Let’s see if OnePlus was right after all and it was better to provide experience rather than time…
