For those rocking a Samsung Galaxy A54 5G or a Galaxy A25 5G, it’s time to hit that update button because the much-awaited One UI 7, based on Android 15, is officially rolling out here in Kenya — and it brings a boatload of fresh features and slick enhancements.

The update isn’t just about visual polish — though there’s plenty of that too. One UI 7 gives your phone a bold, refreshed look with curvier buttons, soft animations, and upgraded widgets that actually make you want to stare at your home screen. The new firmware versions, A546EXXUCDYDB for the A54 and A256EXXU7CYE1 for the A25, also pack the latest May 2025 security patch, giving you that extra peace of mind.

So what’s new? Quite a bit! Samsung’s added a handy Now Bar to the lock screen so you can peek at essential tasks like timers and media controls without unlocking your phone. There are fresh app icons, a smarter quick panel, and even better camera controls with improved zoom and a redesigned mode selector. Creatives will love the souped-up video editing tools, while multitaskers can enjoy smarter routines and previews for minimized apps.

And if that wasn’t enough, Google Gemini is now more deeply integrated — you can summon it with the side button and even ask it to update your Samsung Calendar or Notes with a single voice command. It’s like having a super-smart assistant living in your pocket.

Just as One UI 7 is going live on mid-rangers, Samsung has also begun beta testing One UI 8 on its flagship Galaxy S25 series starting today. The new version is expected to hit the stable channel this summer, right around the time the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 make their grand debut — both pre-loaded with the upcoming OS.

So, whether you’re team A-Series or eyeing the foldables, it’s a great time to be a Samsung fan. Keep an eye on your software updates — and happy downloading.
