Samsung has confirmed that more devices will begin receiving One UI 7 next month in some regions than it had previously suggested. While the company had included under 20 smartphones and tablets in a prior list, it has now expanded this number to almost 40. Hardly any older models will receive the company's Audio Eraser, Drawing Assist and Writing Assist features, though.

Hardly any time has passed since Samsung officially announced which devices will start receiving One UI 7 next month. In summary, the company claimed that 19 devices would be eligible for its Android 15-based update from April 7 onwards.

For some reason, the company only included members of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S24, Galaxy Tab S9 and Galaxy Tab S10 series, as well as its fifth and sixth-generation foldables. As we discussed at the time, it did suggest that this was only the beginning of its One UI 7 rollout, which a new Samsung Singapore press release reinforces.

This time, Samsung has expanded eligibility to include older flagships like the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22 series, along with all Galaxy Z foldables as far back as the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Z Fold3 (curr. $429 - renewed on Amazon). Samsung's latest press release also confirms that One UI 7 will reach the Galaxy Tab S8 series and the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.

However, it seems unlikely that the 2020 edition of the latter will receive the update, given that it is still without One UI 6. Please see the list below for Samsung's expanded One UI 7 eligibility. We have marked which devices will receive Writing Assist (1), Drawing Assist (2) and Audio Eraser (3) where appropriate.
