Samsung users are waiting for the One UI 7 update, the next major version of the Korean manufacturer’s layer, which, contrary to our expectations, will not arrive until next year. Meanwhile, One UI 6.1.1 has a lot to offer to all Galaxy’s that receive regular updates; not all of these and gradually, the oldest are leaving official support.

We have recent examples from the same year where the S10, Note 10 and the two popular Galaxy A’s have been left out of the list, which will soon be updated to One UI 7 with Android 15.

Apart from daily use, it also has the possibility of giving it a new life: It can serve as an interactive organizer, a security camera or a video game console, to name a few examples. Unfortunately, custom ROMs won’t be a relief for Galaxy Z Fold2 owners: small community inside scene of Android.
