Samsung is hard at work on One UI 7.0. The Korean tech giant made considerable progress in the past month, bringing the beta testing phase into sharp focus. We expect that the beta will launch by mid-November, but in the meantime new features continue to trickle out. A new report from Samsung leaker Chun Bai on X indicates that One UI 7.0 may allow users to fully disable thermal throttling. This could be a massive win for mobile gamers, as it would allow them to eek out every ounce of performance from the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
It appears the option to disable thermal throttling lives in the Developer Options menu, according to Bai. This means that casual users are unlikely to find it, but those who know what to look for have freedom to increase their device performance. It is worth noting that this is not an entirely new feature. Disability thermal throttling was previously possible in One UI 6 by accessing the “Samsung Device Health Manager Service” using an app like System UI tuner. Samsung recently removed this option, perhaps foreshadowing their plans for One UI 7.0.
One UI 7.0 – What We Know
Indeed, One UI 7.0 is shaping up to be the best mobile software for gamers. We know that Samsung also has a new Gaming module for Good Lock in the pipeline. Typically, the company releases a new version of Good Lock with the new version of One UI. With the combined power of this new Good Lock module and the ability to turn off throttling, the possibilities are endless.
If you’re not a gamer, not to worry as One UI 7.0 has numerous other features lined up. New Samsung Health features, Circle to Search expansion, and a slew of Galaxy AI improvements. We even hear that Samsung may allow the option for Galaxy AI to tweak your settings on the fly (with your permission of course). All of these changes, combined with the amazing design refresh, add up to the biggest One UI update of all time. The moment the beta is available we will install and run down every feature that you need to know.
