Samsung has introduced One UI 7, bringing a refreshed design and several new features to Galaxy smartphones. Based on Android 15, the update was first available with the Galaxy S25 series. Now the company has shared its official One UI 7 rollout schedule for other devices as well and the update will begin this month. This article will discuss everything we know so far about the listings of OneUI 7.0.
One UI 7 Overview
The beta version of One UI 7 began in selected countries, including the United States, South Korea, and Germany on December 5, 2024. Now, we have the full list of Samsung devices that will receive the One UI 7.0 update along with the official release date.
New Features in One UI 7
One UI 7 brings new AI-powered features like Writing Assist, which can check spelling, grammar, and tone in real-time. It also helps with auto-formatting notes and summarizing text. Another major addition is Call Transcripts, which automatically transcribes recorded calls in up to 20 languages, eliminating the need for manual note-taking.
Security and privacy enhancements include the new Knox Matrix Dashboard, which provides an overview of security settings across Samsung devices. The update also introduces USB connection blocking, preventing unauthorized access when the screen is locked while still allowing charging. Additionally, if the device is in an unfamiliar location, biometric authentication is required before making any security changes.
Design Changes
Samsung has made several visual changes in One UI 7. The native app icons have been redesigned with more vibrant colors. The app drawer now supports vertical scrolling, making navigation more intuitive. The Notifications and Quick Panel have been separated into two distinct screens. Swiping down anywhere on the screen brings up the Notifications panel while swiping from the top right corner opens the Quick Panel. Notifications are now pill-shaped and larger for better readability.
The update also introduces the Now Bar, a dynamic UI element that changes based on user activity. It provides quick access to playback controls, call options, and Samsung Health tracking. Tapping on the Now Bar expands it, displaying relevant controls at the bottom of the screen, including on the lock screen.
Samsung has introduced new settings in Game Booster to improve gaming performance. Gaming Motion Smoothness allows users to switch between 120Hz and 60Hz modes for a more controlled experience. This feature works with games that do not have built-in refresh rate settings.
Another addition is the ability to set individual frame rates for specific games. The previous 48Hz refresh rate limiter has been replaced with more granular options, allowing users to cap frame rates at 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60Hz. These settings can be accessed through the Game Launcher app under the Game Booster menu.
We have covered all the additional features in detail here.
