So far, the One UI 7 beta was available on the last-gen Galaxy S24 series phones, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6, with the S25 series being the only lineup with a stable build. Samsung has now expanded the program, allowing S23 users to get a taste of its new Android 15 skin.

While the stable build of One UI 7 has been only available to the latest Galaxy S25 series, Samsung made the beta program available for the last-gen S24 series in late 2024, with the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 being the recent additions to the list. Now, the company has expanded the availability of the beta program to the S23 series.

As per user reports, the One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy S23 series seems to be currently available in select regions, including the US, South Korea, and India. Moreover, it seems that the carrier-locked S23 users will need to wait a little more to get a taste of Samsung's new Android 15 skin.

That is, the One UI 7 beta program appears to be only available for carrier-unlocked Galaxy S23 series phones. It also seems that the Galaxy S23 FE has yet to get the green flag for the program. So, as it stands, the new additions to the eligibility list are the standard S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra.

Regarding the new One UI 7 beta that has just become available for the Galaxy S23 series, it comes with the March 2025 security patch. Eligible users can enroll in the program through the Samsung Members app. With the OTA update installed, the compatible phones will bring a good number of features that were previously exclusive to the S25 series (512 GB S25 Ultra curr. $1,149.97 on Amazon) and the other phones that had access to the beta program.

That includes a redesigned UI, new app icons, Now Bar, more widget style and app customizations, and new Galaxy AI features. You can learn more about One UI 7 from the video attached below.
