New year, new software update. Android 15 was officially released in October 2024 for Pixel phones, but it will soon arrive on some Samsung models along with One UI 7. Check out the possible list of devices that will receive the update below.
Samsung has already announced that One UI 7 will arrive first in January, along with the Galaxy S25. The manufacturer will prioritize the new flagship to be launched later than the models from previous years, generating “exclusivity” for those who purchase the launch.
The specialized website SamMobile created an unofficial list of devices eligible for the update.
One of the criteria for this list is the original release version: in principle, every Galaxy launched with Android 13 should get Android 15, since Samsung usually releases two major updates for its smartphones or tablets.

What’s new in Android 15 and One UI 7
One UI 7 has not yet been officially revealed, but a beta version has provided a glimpse of how the update works. One of the highlights is the app drawer, which will have the option of vertical viewing , in alphabetical order — like on Motorola smartphones, for example.
Other visual refinements are also expected to be present in One UI 7, such as new pill-shaped lock screen icons and widgets, similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island.
Android 15 should bring some features already available in Samsung’s customization, such as Private Space, similar to One UI’s Secure Folder. The update should also bring improvements for foldable smartphones, such as shortcuts that open two apps simultaneously.
