    One UI 7.0 beta 1 review: Here’s what we think

    Firmware
    By 

    Last updated: December 12th, 2024 at 19:27 UTC+01:00

    We spent the past seven days testing and using Samsung's new One UI 7.0 beta firmware on the Galaxy S24 series. Our YouTube community knows we've had a lot of fun with the update as we explored several new features, but every video we released over the past week brought us one step closer to an eventual review.

    That One UI 7.0 beta review video is now out. You can check it out below or by visiting our YouTube channel. More details after the break.

    Just a heads up, our One UI 7.0 review video doesn't discuss bugs and the state of the beta firmware. Instead, we're going more in-depth with things that will define One UI 7 for the next year once the beta testing period ends.

    Our purpose for this video was to explore the new user experience and tell you what changes we like and don't like in One UI 7.0 based on what is available to us in beta 1.

    Bugs will always be a part of beta testing any firmware, and as usual, if you're not ready to face bugs, we don't recommend updating your daily phone to any beta firmware. Ours is not a bug review video but a One UI 7.0 feature review.

    We're looking at the lock screen, the Now Bar, the quick and notification panels, Camera UI and performance, and overall UI fluidity.

    Stay tuned for more One UI 7.0 content as we progress through the beta program.
