Samsung runs a service called Remote Test Lab, where developers and enthusiasts can test the latest versions of Samsung software on a wide range of devices, from the comfort of their own home. Test builds for TVs, Watches, Tablets and Phones are remotely accessible for anyone with a Samsung account to try out. They also sometimes upload early builds for newer devices, or test updates for older devices. Today we get treated to the latter, One UI 7 test updates for the S22 Ultra & S21 Ultra are now available, and usable, on this testing tool.
One UI 7 build spotted for S22 Ultra
The S22 Ultra gets its first publicly visible build of One UI 7 with build FYD5. It contains the April security patch, and the February Google Play system update. This build has the thicker battery icon and new split Quick Settings and Notifications. Also, some Galaxy AI features like Photo Assist and Drawing Assist are available. All the universal One UI 7 core features like Nearby Devices and Live Notifications are present.
S21 Ultra also has a build
Yes, the oldest officially supported device also gets a One UI 7 build as well. Not surprising considering that itโs scheduled to receive the update next month. As for details, itโs been spotted with build HYD5. The build features the same April security patch and Google Play system update version of February 2025. The S21 series lacks any form of Galaxy AI features, just like previous builds of One UI, but has everything else intact. Live Notifications, blur effects and Nearby Devices are present here.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting this major overhaul, and the rollout has been very slow. Weโre starting to see schedules for countries like Germany, Columbia and Mexico, but other countries like India remain to be confirmed. We continue to track the One UI 7 rollout around the globe, stay tuned for more on this exciting update!
