Samsung is finally beginning to crack down on getting One UI 7 to users across the globe. Though it’s still in the process of getting to users, Samsung has detailed a few new changes to the weather app with the One UI 7 update.

After starting in March and continuing in recent weeks, Google is now officially rolling out camera and screen sharing in Gemini Live for Android to the Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25 series.

The One UI 7 rollout is finally off to the races, but many users are still going to be waiting a while. In its latest post, Samsung has revealed a schedule for One UI 7 that includes nearly 50 more Galaxy devices to be updated over the next couple of months.

Right on schedule, Samsung has started the One UI 7 rollout for Galaxy S24, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6, with more devices to come.

Foldables have improved drastically since their full debut in 2019, but Samsung has been stagnating on progress for quite a while now. That’s why I can’t explain why I still enjoy the Galaxy Z Fold 6 so much, especially after having spent a lot of time with some of the best foldables the market has to offer.

App shortcuts were introduced with Android 7.1 in October 2016. They’ve seen some UI changes over the years, but they’ve mostly stayed the same.

Samsung’s Android 15 update, One UI 7, has been heavily delayed, with the stable rollout only due to start next week – a whopping six months after Google first finalized Android 15. Things appear to be moving much faster for One UI 8, though, with Samsung’s Android 16 update reportedly set to debut alongside the company’s next generation foldables.

Google’s Android Auto platform is constantly evolving, adding new features and changing others. For some users, a handy new option seems to have been made available with the option to press a readily available button to exit back to your car’s infotainment system.
