In early 2025, Samsung promises to bring its latest UI, One UI 7, much later than anticipated. Today, the company launched its beta program to highlight some new features before the final release.
Samsung begins by highlighting its AI capabilities, including writing assistance tools that make writing and formatting text easier. Additionally, the AI assistant can summarize text, correct spelling and grammar, and format notes into comprehensive bullet points.
Similar to Google Pixel’s call transcript feature, AI includes call transcripts.
The design has also undergone a major change. In terms of look and functionality, Samsung went for a simpler approach. That’s what led to the new Now Bar. Your lock screen appearance will be de-cluttered with relevant activities from apps like Interpreter, Music, Recording, Stopwatch, etc. By doing so, you get instant access to the most important notifications and actions, so you don’t have to unlock them as often.
The camera also received UI improvements. The buttons, controls, and modes have been reorganized to make them easier to use. In addition, the viewfinder has been redesigned to provide a better preview of your stills and videos.
One UI 7 Beta will launch on December 5, 2024, starting with the Galaxy S24 series in Germany, India, Korea, Poland, the UK and the US. Through the Samsung Members app, users can apply to join the beta program.
