Samsung has begun rolling out the One UI 7 update to Galaxy A55 users in Europe. This update is based on Android 15 and comes with firmware version A556BXXU7BYDB. It requires a download of around 3GB, so users are advised to connect to a stable Wi-Fi network before starting the update.
The Galaxy A55 follows the Galaxy A35, which received the same update recently. This is part of Samsung’s broader push to bring the latest Android version to its midrange lineup without significant delays.
Includes May 2025 security patch
Along with the features introduced in One UI 7, this update also includes the May 2025 Android security patch. This ensures that Galaxy A55 users are protected from the latest known threats and vulnerabilities. Samsung continues to maintain a strong track record for timely security updates across its devices, including midrange models.
Security patches are often overlooked, but they play a critical role in protecting user data, especially as more personal and financial information is stored on mobile devices.
How to check for the update
If you’re using a Galaxy A55 in Europe and haven’t received the update yet, you can check for it manually. Simply go to Settings > Software update > Download and install. If the update is available for your device, you’ll be able to start the installation process from there.
Not all users may receive the update at the same time, as Samsung typically rolls out updates in phases. This staged approach helps the company catch and fix potential issues before the update reaches all devices.
What to expect from One UI 7
The new One UI 7 from Samsung is expected to come with a range of upgrades. This includes better animations and customizations as well as upgraded widgets and new privacy features. Also, the update should refine the general UI for a more consistent and smoother user experience.
Samsung has since released a video which shows a visual summary of the features of this system. However, a visual summary will not give full information until you use the system. Interestingly, Samsung will make this update available for its mid-range A series. The company will offer regular software updates, making the series a good choice for those who want long-term value without paying flagship prices.
The arrival of One UI 7 on the Galaxy A55 adds to that promise. Users can expect improved performance, security, and several quality-of-life enhancements that come with the new software version
