They will carry One UI 7, the custom layer based on Android 15, which debuts for the first time in the new S series phones and thus begins to reach the Galaxy S24, S23 and more. Samsung has now confirmed when will they be updated. From the moment it was known that One UI 7 would be released with the new Galaxy S25it was learned that Samsung would roll out the new update to the rest of the Galaxy S in the following weeks. Now it is known that first they will be those from Korea and it will take a few more weeks for the previous Galaxy S. In fact, the beta has been available for the Galaxy S24 since the month of December and part of thisso they would be the first to be updated. The peculiar thing about Samsung’s confirmation is that it has boasted that it has been able to develop the update in a way faster than One UI 6. It must be remembered that the Galaxy S24 have been the first flagship of the company that they have been left without the premiere of the new update when the previous Galaxy S23, S22 and more have done so with the respective One UI 6, One UI 5 and more. Be that as it may, Samsung has confirmed that Galaxy S series mobile devices should receive the One UI 7 update at the end of the first quarter 2025. The full deployment would end on March 31 of this year, so the first would be the Galaxy S24 to continue, supposedly, with the folding phones and the previous flagships such as the Galaxy S23 or S22.

At the end of October last year, the launch of the new Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro in China. A series that has its loyal followers and in which work continues to take the best possible photography. Already waiting for the next one Xiaomi 15 Ultra whose release date is already known with an international debut. It had recently been reported that its presentation had been postponed. A strange moment, since it would always have been presented shortly after the launch of the first models in the series, such as this time the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro. A mobile phone that is of great importance due to the change of direction of the Chinese brand towards more expensive mobile phones and thus moving away from being known as a reference in the medium and low range. Xiaomi’s goal is to be recognized as a premium brand and the Ultra models are achieving their goal, so there is more interest than ever in knowing the details of its next Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Wei Siqi, general director of Xiaomi’s mobile marketing department, said that the mobile will arrive next month of february. She has not been the only executive who has referred to the next Chinese flagship, and Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group, has confirmed that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will make a global debut. The executive, according ItHomeindicated that Xiaomi’s goal is to sell its new mobile phone simultaneously throughout the world, and according to the leak, the countries mentioned are Turkey, Indonesia, Russia, Taiwan, India and those of the European Economic Area (EEA) among which would be Spain. From the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, according to Xiaomiuisome information has been leaked such as support for eSIM, a chip designed by the Chinese brand itself (in order to improve battery efficiency and help the main one), IP68/69 certification, 90 W fast charging , 6.7-inch screen and another of the important protagonists, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. All this to bring your next smartphone to compete against the next Galaxy S25 Ultra, the iPhone 17 and many other flagship phones that compete every year for the market share of premium range phones that year after year are collecting the interest of a greater number of users. And it is an important moment for the Chinese brand, since 2024 It’s been a great year with sales figures that have placed it as the manufacturer that grew the most compared to last year with a full 12% and obtained a 14% market share; It came quite close to Apple and Samsung to continue establishing itself as one of the most attractive brands both in mobile phones and in its items for the smart home or its electric vehicle.

Google finally fixes the navigation gesture that was broken on older Pixels when updating them to Android 15

by

Google is already working in the next Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 as was learned yesterday from an internal source. Now one of the bugs that were generated has been marked as corrected when updating old Pixels to the latest version of Android, precisely 15. This version was deployed to the new Pixel 9 like the rest of the old Pixels such as the Pixel 8 series in the middle of October. These types of updates make you enjoy the news and those new experiences who spend their daily lives better with a smartphone, a tablet or a smart watch. But not everything always goes well and with this deployment, users of the old Pixels found themselves with a very strange bug: Swiping in from the right side of the phone did not activate the back gesture, so the interaction experience failed severely with that update to Android 15. Now the issue has been marked as corrected in Issue Trackerthe web space that Google uses to record all bugs or errors on its mobile devices and where you can review the correction of errors. Pixel 7 Pro Alvarez del Vayo The Free Android In fact, a Google employee has stated that the solution will be deployed in a new imminent update of Pixel phones so that normal use of the phone can be resumed. First reported on a Pixel 8 Pro so that it would soon be confirmed in other models by more users. The error affected the gestures that are applied from both sides, not only the right one as has now been confirmed as solved since Issue Tracker. And it is a quite serious problem for the mobile gesture experience, since it has prevented the ability to navigate backwards. The only solution that had been given until now was use the navigation bar with its three buttons, but you can almost say that it is an almost retro experience so that moving with gestures is tremendously simple. The update with the back gesture fix will be deployed in the month of Februaryright in the first weeks, so any of the old Pixels can be used again as it has always been done with an error that can generate a lot of frustration according to what it maintains GSMArena.

You are going to receive One UI 7 sooner than you expected

by

Today is the big day for Samsung, the moment that all technology and smartphone enthusiasts have been waiting for: the Galaxy Unpacked 2025, with the presentation of the new Galaxy S25the brand’s new leading mobile phones. However, these will not be the only protagonists of the evening, and Samsung is preparing some surprise that has not yet been leaked. The good news is that you won’t need to buy a new product to enjoy some of these surprises. And Galaxy S24 users are finally going to receive the update to Android 15, with the upcoming release of One UI 7 for all devices. Samsung itself has confirmed this, through a moderator in its official forums, as shared Sammy Fans. One UI 7 is the new version of Samsung’s customization layer, now based on Android 15. Although Samsung was one of the first to make the jump to Android 14 two years ago, with this version it has taken a little longer; the consolation is that One UI 7 will bring a good amount of new features and many of them related to Galaxy AI and its Gemini-based AI functions. Now, Samsung has confirmed that One UI 7 will be available to all Galaxy S24 users at the same time. This is an important detail, because it means that Spanish users will not have to wait for the update, as has happened in past versions. In other words, it will be a global launch that will be available on all models in the Galaxy S24 range at the same time. It is somewhat surprising, considering that the One UI 7 beta has only been available in seven countries, including Spain; Only users from China, Germany, India, Poland, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States have been able to participate in the open beta, which It started last December and has already resulted in three major updates so far. Samsung The Free Android In fact, now the question is whether a fourth beta version of One UI 7 will arrive, as users are already asking for, or if Samsung will directly launch the final version of the layer soon. What does seem clear is that One UI 7 will debut first on the new Galaxy S25 that are presented today, which will come with the new version of Android from the factory and without the need to update. Taking into account today’s announcement, it is very possible that One UI 7 will be released for the Galaxy S24 at the same time, or around the same time, as the launch of the Galaxy S25. Therefore, we will not have to wait long to enjoy its new features on our mobile phones.

This is the new design that eliminates distractions

by

It’s only been a few months since Android 15 was officially released, but Google is already preparing for the next launch of Android 16. And the company has decided to change the development cycle of the system, bringing forward the publication of the system to coincide with the launch of the Pixel mobiles. As a result, the development of Android 16 is already very advanced, despite the fact that the first month of the year has not yet ended; At this point, normally the new version of Android is still in an early state, with little news to report. This year is going to be different, and some rumors even suggest that the first public beta could be launched this month of January. That also means that the new features being prepared for Android 16 are already in advanced development, and that is what has allowed Mishaal Rahman discover one of these innovations. This time, the novelty is in the notifications, specifically in the way they appear on the lock screen. With Android 16, users will be able to activate a new minimalist lock screenwhich will mainly display the wallpaper and widgets like the clock. This mode also affects notifications, which will no longer be displayed in a container in the middle of the screen, but will instead appear as a small pill-shaped notice. In this ‘pill’, only the app icon will appear that you have activated the notification. So if, for example, they send us a WhatsApp message, only the WhatsApp icon will be displayed on this pill; The content of the message sent to us or the name of the app in question will not be shown. Just by touching the icon, the notification will expand and show its content, such as the message they have sent us. To activate this new minimalist look, the user will be able to find a new option in settings of the lock screen, specifically in the section dedicated to notifications. New Android 16 notification style Android Authority The Free Android Here you will find two options: “Full List” shows all the content of the notifications as before, while “Compact” (Compact) will show only the app icon. Although it may seem somewhat extreme, this new design may be liked by many people. For example, it is a more private option, since by showing only the app icon It is not possible for someone to read the messages that have been sent to us. However, it must be remembered that Android notification settings already allow you to hide sensitive conversations and notifications. This new option would be more of an aesthetic change than anything else, to prevent our lock screen from filling up with notifications after a while. Icons take up less space and are more aesthetically pleasing, and They don’t cover the wallpaper so much that we have chosen.

These are Samsung’s augmented reality glasses. Project Moohan is coming, and it will be governed by Android XR

by

The celebration of Samsung Unpacked 2025 has provided not one, but two surprises. The first, the fleeting presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edgethe ultra-thin mobile that we were able to see in the exhibition area after the event. The second, the augmented reality glasses that Samsung has been developing for some time. They are the result of Project Moohan that Samsung spoke briefly about at the event, and that will precisely compete with devices like the Apple Vision Pro or the striking Orion of Meta. The design of the glasses is in fact very similar to that of Apple’s glasses, although it also has certain design lines apparently inherited from the Meta Quest Pronow discontinued. During the presentation, Samsung mentioned its intention to bring AI options to other form factors such as connected glasses – Ray-Ban Meta type, we imagine – and augmented reality glasses. Samsung actually announced that it was working on augmented reality glasses in collaboration with Google. That is the goal of Project Moohan, who also stands out for be governed by Android XR. This operating system will be a competitor to visionOS, Apple’s proposal in the Vision Pro. At the moment the augmented reality glasses could be seen on display and we were able to photograph them, but there are no more details about them: we have to wait. In Xataka | Mark Zuckerberg believes that in 2030 we will not take our smartphones out of our pockets so much: we will do almost everything from our glasses
