Samsung’s latest One UI 7 software is currently exclusive to the brand-new Galaxy S25 lineup, but owners of older models like the Galaxy S24 won’t be left hanging forever. The S24 series has been testing the update behind the scenes for months. While the standard S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra are already in line for the stable release, the spotlight now shifts to the fan-favourite Galaxy S24 FE.

The S24 FE missed out on Samsung’s beta program, but rumours are swirling about its place in the update queue. A recent leak from tipster @tarunvats33 hints at a possible March 31 rollout for the FE variant. Before you mark your calendar, though, remember that software timelines are notoriously slippery. Delays can pop up from nowhere—a reality Samsung knows all too well. The company rarely locks itself into hard deadlines, opting instead for a cautious “we’ll-release-it-when-it’s-ready” approach.

If March 31 does pan out, don’t expect the FE to leapfrog its siblings. Logic suggests the S24 trio, already knee-deep in beta testing, will likely get first dibs on the stable build. The FE’s rumoured date might be pencilled into Samsung’s internal roadmap, but as with any leak, treat it as a maybe rather than a promise.

Bottom line? Stay optimistic but keep expectations in check. If things go smoothly, FE users could see One UI 7 by spring—just don’t be surprised if the timeline shifts. After all, in the world of software updates, patience is (unfortunately) part of the game.
