A leaked software build, likely for the anticipated Galaxy Z Flip FE, was spotted yesterday, along with the first test software for the Galaxy Z Fold7. Identified as build F966USQU0AYB3, it is intended for AT&T’s version of the foldable smartphone and may run One UI 7.0.1. Rumors suggest Samsung has abandoned plans for One UI 7.1 due to the upcoming release of Android 16. This raises concerns about whether the Galaxy Z Fold7, Flip7, and Flip FE will launch with Android 15, potentially diminishing Samsung’s reputation for timely updates amidst ongoing delays.
Yesterday, a software build emerged that is supposedly aimed at the frequently rumored Galaxy Z Flip FE, which is expected to launch later this year alongside the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Fold7. Today, the major foldable device has also been spotlighted.
A leaker on X has discovered the first test software build for the Galaxy Z Fold7 on Samsung’s servers. It has been identified as F966USQU0AYB3 / F966UOYN0AYB3 / F966USQU0AYB3, intended for the AT&T variant of the forthcoming foldable smartphone.

The leaker indicates that it could be classified as One UI 7.0.1, since Samsung is reportedly moving away from launching One UI 7.1, given that Android 16 is set to launch early this year. In fact, it is likely that Android 16 will debut from Google before Samsung reveals its next-generation foldables, raising the question: will Samsung release the Galaxy Z Fold7, Flip7, and Flip FE with Android 15 pre-installed, even if they arrive a month or two after Android 16’s release?
This wouldn’t be an ideal scenario for the Korean tech giant, but lately, it seems to be less concerned about providing prompt updates, so anything’s possible.
