One UI 7 has started rolling out to entry-level Galaxy phones – reports from Korea indicate that the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy A16 (the 4G models) are now seeing the update.
Both phones launched with Android 14/One UI 6.1 and this is their first major OS update. The A15 will get three more, while the A16 gets the premium treatment and can expect five more. Both phones use the Helio G99, by the way.
Samsung Galaxy A15 and A16 are now getting the One UI 7 update
We’re not seeing reports about the Galaxy A15 5G and Galaxy A16 5G yet, but they can’t be far behind. They also launched with Android 14 and will receive 4 and 6 OS updates, respectively. They do have newer chipsets – Dimensity 6100+ for the A15 5G and Dimensity 6300/Exynos 1330 for the A16 5G.
There’s also the question of when other regions will see the update. It’s usually a gradual rollout, in case of issues. According to the official roadmap, the Galaxy A15 was supposed to get the update in June, so this is ahead of schedule (the A16 was planned for May). The roadmap doesn’t list the 4G and 5G models separately, though, suggesting that they are meant to launch at the same time.
