Owners of midrange and flagship Galaxy phones may need to wait until April for One UI 7, while the Galaxy A06 5G will ship with the software soon. If typical bug-squashing is responsible, Samsung is right to delay the UI release until it's perfect.

On this episode of The Vergecast, The Verge ’s Allison Johnson tells us all about her experiences with the S25 Ultra, supposedly the most interesting and experimental device in Samsung’s lineup, and why she’s a bit underwhelmed despite the fact that the Ultra remains an excellent phone.

Samsung might not push the stable Android 15 update until April. It will release two more One UI 7 beta builds after the fourth beta. Galaxy S24 will supposedly get the S25's Audio Eraser feature with One UI 7.

Samsung is in the midst of rolling out its February 2025 update to Galaxy smartphones and tablets, but it's not One UI 7.

The Galaxy S25 is yet another competent phone from Samsung. If you've been on your current device for a few years and you're shopping for something small and new, it's a fine pick. Still, I wish Samsung had moved the ball forward a little more this year — this is another in a line of very iterative Galaxy updates.
