Title: Report Suggests Samsung Galaxy S24 Users Will Receive a Surprise Free Upgrade
Samsung's flagship, the Galaxy S25 series, is right around the corner. But it seems the current S24 series isn't left behind in the race for innovation. With the upcoming One UI 7 software, Samsung is set to give the S24 series, including the S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra, a significant speed boost, particularly in the realm of fingerprint unlocking.
As per regular leaker Ice Universe, the new One UI 7 software will bring crystal-clear lock and unlock sounds, and a new tone to signify charging. But the real highlight is the extraordinary speed increase in fingerprint unlocking. In a separate post on X, Ice Universe boasts that the unlock speed will outshine the previous version, making the process almost instantaneous.
Now, you might wonder why this tiny improvement matters, considering how many times a day we unlock our phones. It might not seem like a big deal, but think back to when digits or swipe patterns were our only options. Fingerprint sensors simplified the process, and under-display sensors added another layer of convenience. So, a speedier fingerprint unlock is definitely a plus.
According to the leaker, the unlock is now quicker than a simple tap, making the process seamless. While this upgrade won't top the list of One UI 7's features, it certainly adds a nice touch to the S24 series. The video demoing the beta software demonstrates the improved unlock speed on the S24 series display. As for the S25 series, the speed bonus is a given, unless Samsung decides to do a complete overhaul.
The speed boost for fingerprint unlock is expected to arrive with the third beta update of One UI 7, set to hit testers in the first week of January 2025. However, the exact comparison to the previous version's speed isn't disclosed, only described as "extremely fast" and "much faster." The final stable version of One UI 7, including these improvements, will be released post-Galaxy S25 series launch, likely in February 2025.
Samsung is planning to upgrade the speed of fingerprint unlocking on the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra with the upcoming One UI 7 software. Ice Universe hints at a significant speed increase, making the process almost instantaneous. Furthermore, Samsung might offer a free upgrade to the new software for Galaxy S24 users.
