X tipster @UniverseIce dropped a video showing smoother animations of the One UI 7.0. The clip is more likely a screen recording done on the Galaxy S25/Plus phone.

Note that the clip has been deleted from YouTube. But another tipster has managed to get it. Tap HERE to check the smoother animations of the new software build.

Although the interesting part of this clip is the fluid transitions. The overall motions like swipe gestures as well as the opening and closing of apps appeared faster and more stable. Users will probably have the best animation experience with One UI 7.

It doesn’t show any lag or glitches while opening/closing apps. Switching between apps is much easier and faster than ever. Just a simple touch and users will see quicker responses.

Some applications that were indulged in this animation testing are Gallery, Settings, Phone, and Camera. These appeared in redesigned icons. The Weather widget also gets a makeover with a thinner shape than the previous major upgrade.

It’s just the beginning and Samsung could make ever better changes with the stable version.

The new One UI 7 hands-on video is from a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The device is running an ‘in-development’ or early build of the upcoming software upgrade.

So without any delay, let’s jump into the hands-on shots.

The early One UI 7.0 live video shows some interesting changes in the Quick Settings, Notification Panel, App icons, recent section, and of course, the animation side.

Quick Settings and Notification Panel: Separate!

Galaxy S24 Ultra hands-on video shows a separate Notification Panel and Quick Settings. Starting with the Notification Panel, it has larger and more rounded pill-shaped bars showing the notifications. These pills have a down arrow to expand the alert with some in-app settings.

The page also highlights a new battery-level icon at the top and two tabs at the bottom: Settings (left) and Clear (right). One can access alert settings or clear them with a tap.

Quick Settings: This section appears more recognizable than before. Just like the Notification Panel, the Control Center has more rounded pills compared to the squarish-shape. It can cover the entire screen in one swipe to show additional settings.

Apps Drawer and Icons:

The search bar of the app drawer now appears at the bottom for easy access. It further has a three-line icon to enhance the search capability for apps and other services.

Icons: Samsung is seemingly giving a new makeover to app icons with One UI 7.0. All the system applications like Camera, Gallery, Phone, Settings, and more showed up in a new design, better than the previous software version.

Finder: The respective feature in the app drawer can now expand the keyboard by default. It also displays a pill that allows users to add the Finder on the Quick Settings. One can also select or prevent apps from appearing in the Finder.

Recent Apps Panel: The recent apps section now looks more like iOS. One UI 7 will offer a stack layout with significant transitions for the recent applications panel.

Galaxy Avatar

A new Galaxy Avatar tool has also sneaked from the Advanced Features section. It only reveals Avatar stickers and the Avatar Camera option. One can design new clothes for their avatars. It might be a new form of AR Emoji feature.

Regarding animation smoothness, the video shows slight lags while operating the device. That could be due to the early build of One UI 7. Perhaps, the tech giant may enhance the smoothness part by the time of the stable One UI 7 (Android 15) rollout.

Yes, the company will likely add more major improvements and features to the One UI 7 before its stable rollout next year.

2024 has brought us a lot of expectations from Samsung and One UI 7.0. But it seems this year has just extended the wait for a new software upgrade and not anything else.

During the SDC 2024 event, Samsung announced to release One UI 7.0 (Android 15) next year with the Galaxy S25 series. The exact launch time is unknown. But this will likely happen in January 2025 with a grand Unpacked Galaxy launch event.

That’s not it! Here’s another ‘let-down’ news. Samsung mentioned that the One UI 7.0 developer beta will launch by the end of this year. Again, the closed and public beta might take a wider shape by next year. We may get clear info in late 2024.

Samsung’s software section is expanding at a snail’s speed in 2024 compared to the past years. The company used to launch its major software beta version most probably in August, thereby gradually expanding it with closed and public testings.

The company is well-known for completing its software update rollouts faster than any other brand. But this year, things don’t seem usual. What are the reasons behind this sluggish speed? A focus shift towards hardware products, major improvements in software, or anything else? We can’t say it right now.

If we look at other smartphone makers like OnePlus, these have already given the Android 15-based software beta versions to their flagship devices. Meanwhile, the wait bar for Galaxy users for a new software offering continues to rise.

Apart from the One UI 7 announcement, Samsung also mentioned new changes in the upcoming software version. The user experience this time, will be more simple, and impactful, and carry an emotive design to offer a seamless functioning in daily use.

Users will find significant changes in the home screen layout and other UI sections. AI features, an enhanced battery section, and more impressive customizations are also in the One UI 7.0 expected features list. Samsung delays the launch of One UI 7, but this wait could be worthwhile with amazing and useful software enhancements.

X tipster IceUniverse notes that One UI 7.0 will bring some new AI features to the Samsung Gallery app. These add-ons could be for the AI search tool. Perhaps the company wants to make searches more convenient for users with better capabilities.

AI Search refers to an efficient gallery tool that helps users find images more easily, using AI. It understands the context, thus providing quick results of your queries.

Samsung Gallery AI Search tool is already one step ahead of Google Photos. It gives access to the People tab and allows you to collect images with a person in groups accordingly. The app also organizes images based on shot types or locations. It seems One UI 7 will make this tool more significant in the time ahead.

The tipster didn’t mention the exact changes that the Samsung Gallery app will get with One UI 7. Though it’s clear that the upcoming software is full of surprises.

A comparative image by the tipster further hints that Samsung Gallery will provide a much better experience than other album applications. Users may also observe some optimizations to the existing features that will make the app more worthy.

Apart from applications, One UI 7.0 has some incredible offerings for the UI and other sections of smartphones. A revamped Notification Panel and Quick Settings, a vertical app drawer, and more are on the expected features list. Let’s see what Samsung will serve to its users with the One UI 7.0 software upgrade.

Samsung has been working on the One UI 7.0 for a few months. This ultimately sparks the expectations for an official announcement of the new software release.

However, the company hasn’t given any official statements on this matter so far. The good news is that the Samsung Developer Conference will held on October 03 (tomorrow). At that time, the tech giant might share One UI 7.0-related news.

Chances are high as the company highlighted a few key segments of the One UI 6 at the SDC event last year. This time too, we may witness some exclusive features ahead of the software’s official launch. Let’s cross our fingers and wait for tomorrow.

Android 15

Being one of the biggest Android players, Samsung will launch the One UI 7.0 based on Android 15. Google’s new Android version is going through multiple beta tests including the QPR builds. It is expected to go stable this month, but the date is still unknown.

Following the Android 15 beta updates, Samsung One UI 7.0 beta program was expected to begin in August this year. Although the company delayed the matter. It seems the company is taking time to optimize its new OS with better animations, features, and enhancements.

One UI 7.0: Release?

Probably, Samsung will initiate the One UI 7.0 beta program after the stable release of Android 15. The situation may also turn around at the SDC 2024 event and the company may release the One UI 7 beta on the first day of the conference.

Samsung has unexpectedly delayed the One UI 7.0 beta this year. While the Galaxy S23 was the first to get the One UI 6 beta in 2023, Galaxy S24 users are still waiting for the major upgrade offering. Although the company may clear the mist on this matter this month.

One UI 7.0: Eligible Devices

The tech giant will roll out One UI 7.0 beta and stable builds starting from its flagship Galaxy models. Thereafter, it will be released for other models of the A, M, and F series.

Note that the Galaxy S24 series as well as the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip 6 models received the blessing of 7-year update support. Meanwhile, previous models of the Galaxy family remain confined to the 4 years of major OS and 5 years of security rollouts.

It’s one of the major benefits for the Galaxy S24 and Z Fold/Flip 6 users as they can enjoy some extra years of huge Android upgrades. Let’s take a look at which models could be the first to fetch the One UI 7 beta and stable software update:

• Samsung Galaxy S24 series
• Samsung Galaxy S23 series
• Samsung Galaxy S23 FE
• Samsung Galaxy S22 series
• Samsung Galaxy S21 series
• Samsung Galaxy S21 FE
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3

Note that this isn’t an official roadmap. But based on the previous rollout pattern, Samsung could follow this upgrade plan to some extent. The company will likely add more devices to the list in the upcoming days.

One UI 7.0: Features

One UI 7.0 will be a packet of interesting features. It may sport a completely revamped UI with better animations and transitions. It could also adopt a Dynamic Island tool to show the live activities of an application without actually opening it.

A rumor claimed that One UI 7 could use an iOS-like battery health feature to offer a clear detail about the device’s battery status. A Vertical App Drawer is also in the works to make application access easier and more convenient for phone users.

Samsung will likely focus on enhancing the UI segment with One UI 7. Some other changes that we find with the upcoming software include new system app icons, new control area at the lock screen, easy adjustment of shortcut icons on the lock screen, new battery icon + charging animation, new camera interface, large folders, and more.

Ironically, One UI 7.0 could also steal the EMUI’s old separate Quick Settings and Notification Panel design. Although that’s just a speculation and things will get clear with the official launch of Samsung One UI 7.0.

• This article will be updated with new version release information.
