How to register for the Samsung One UI 7 beta on Galaxy S24

It’s finally here! After much anticipation, Samsung has opened registrations for its One UI 7 beta program, bringing an early taste of its Android 15-based interface to select Galaxy devices. If you’ve been eager to explore Samsung’s fresh design changes and new features ahead of the 2025 stable release, here’s everything you need to know to get started.

Who can join the Samsung One UI 7 beta?

As of now, the beta is exclusive to the Galaxy S24 lineup, including:

Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra

If you own one of these devices and reside in the U.S., Germany, or South Korea, you’re in luck—the beta is already available in these regions. Users in the U.K., India, Poland, and China may have to wait a bit longer, as Samsung traditionally rolls out betas in phases. U.S. participants must have unlocked devices, though some carrier-locked models might qualify.

What’s new in One UI 7?

Samsung’s One UI 7 focuses on:

Simplicity: A cleaner, more intuitive interface.
Dynamic UI elements: Redesigned widgets and motion dynamics.
Improved notifications: Notifications and Quick Settings are now split for easier access.

The update also introduces new customization options and refined animations, all designed to make interactions smoother and more enjoyable. Samsung teased these changes at its developer conference earlier this year.

How to register for Samsung One UI 7 beta?

Install the Samsung Members app: Open the app on your Galaxy S24 device.
Locate the beta banner: Look for the “One UI 7 Beta Program” banner on the home screen. If it’s not there, check the Notices section or try again later.
Enroll: Tap the banner and confirm your registration.

Installing the beta firmware

Once registered:

Go to Settings > Software update.
Select Download and install to grab the beta firmware.

Remember, beta versions can be unstable, so backup your data first! Samsung’s Temporary Cloud Backup feature under Settings > General Management > Reset > Temporary Cloud Backup is a quick and reliable option.

Why join the beta?

Beta programs give you early access to features, but they’re not without risks. Expect occasional bugs or crashes, so this isn’t recommended for your primary device unless you’re comfortable troubleshooting. Still, if you’re tech-savvy or just can’t wait to try the latest software, this is your chance to shape the future of Samsung’s UI.
