Korean tech conglomerate Samsung Electronics unveiled on Tuesday that the official rollout of its much-anticipated One UI 7 update will commence on April 7.

The update will initially be available on the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and Z Flip6, with a gradual rollout to additional Galaxy devices.
