Meanwhile, fight the temptation and await those official updates—even if you have an S24 or S23 and know you’ll get the One UI 7 update and maybe the beta as well, depending on where you live. As Phone Arena warns, “downloading strange files off of the internet for a slight taste of One UI 7 can be dangerous.”

Samsung is usually among the first device makers to update its flagship devices to the latest monthly security patch. It rolled out the November 2024 update for the Galaxy S24 series right at the beginning of the month.

The Samsung Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra work well out of the box, but you'll want to change these settings ASAP to get the most out of your phone.
