One UI 7: Key Enhancements
New Design
One UI 7 will introduce a reimagined home screen along with redesigned One UI widgets and lock screens for Samsung users. Samsung presents this update as featuring a straightforward, impactful, and emotive design that enhances the overall user experience.
Enhancements to Now Bar
With the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung introduced the Now Bar to provide users with real-time information updates. A simple swipe will allow users to access details such as the currently playing song or their running progress without the need to unlock their devices.
AI Features
The AI capabilities in One UI 7 will create a more intuitive experience for users. While viewing any video, users can swipe the Edge Panel and tap the ‘AI Select’ icon to save a clip as a GIF, a feature seen in the S25 series. The Writing Assist feature will enable users to summarise or format text per their requirements. Additionally, the Drawing Assist tool will allow for simple sketches to be converted into polished drawings. The Audio Eraser will improve audio quality by isolating specific sounds and eliminating unwanted noises in videos.
Google Gemini Integration
In One UI 7, Samsung makes it easiest for users to activate Google Gemini by simply long-pressing the power button and speaking to it.
Natural Language Assistance in Settings
Searching for specific settings in One UI 7 becomes easier, as users can describe their issues casually, such as stating “my eyes hurt,” and the device will suggest relevant options based on the input.
