One UI 7 is based on Android 15, which brings significant improvements on its own. The update introduces a range of AI-powered tools, streamlined controls, and a glimpse into Samsung’s future AI-driven ecosystem.

Enhanced AI features in One UI 7 simplify everyday tasks with new writing assistance tools, automatic call transcription in twenty languages, and improved call functionality.
