Verizon has started rolling out the long-awaited One UI 7 update for Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra devices in the United States. This update is currently available for Verizon’s locked devices in the country.
The update, based on Android 15, began on April 22, 2025, and brings a redesigned user interface, enhanced AI features, and improved performance to Samsung’s 2023 flagship phones. After its initial release in South Korea earlier this month, the stable build has now made its way to the US as part of a global rollout.
One UI 7 introduces a modern, streamlined design with an updated home screen, revamped widgets, and a customizable lock screen. A notable new feature is the Now Bar, which displays real-time information such as workout stats or media playback directly on the lock screen, offering added convenience for users.
The update also expands Samsung’s Galaxy AI tools, including the new Audio Eraser for clearer recordings, enhanced writing assistance, and call-recording summaries. Additionally, the update includes the April 2025 security patch to ensure better protection against vulnerabilities.
The rollout of One UI 7 was briefly delayed due to a lock screen bug affecting some Galaxy S24 devices, but Samsung has now resolved the issue. Verizon users with carrier-locked S23 devices are receiving the update, which has a download size of around 5 GB. Users are advised to connect to Wi-Fi and ensure their device has sufficient battery before beginning the installation.
To check for the update, go to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install. While Verizon has begun the rollout, users with AT&T and T-Mobile should expect to receive the update shortly.
