Samsung’s One UI 7 update could bring significant changes to the user interface of Galaxy devices. Recent leaked screenshots reveal that this update includes some innovations, especially in the quick settings and notification panels. It also features more rounded design elements throughout the interface.
The leaked images show that the notification panel will be separated from the quick settings menu in One UI 7. In One UI 6, users had to swipe down once to access notifications and swipe down once more to access quick settings. With One UI 7, this layout may change and users will be able to see a clearer distinction between the notification panel and quick settings.
Design innovations with One UI 7
The square-shaped shadows of the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons in One UI 6 have taken on a more rounded appearance in One UI 7. This rounded design is not only seen in the icons, but also in the notification bubbles and main settings menu. These changes aim to make the overall aesthetic of the interface more modern and user-friendly.
A video obtained by Smartprix shows a new notification pop-up for the timer and other system apps in One UI 7. This pop-up works similarly to the iPhone’s Dynamic Island animations. At the bottom of the screen, each app has rounded corners, and the Gallery app icon has a more colorful design.
The screenshots also show a feature called “continuity notifications,” which would allow users to send video call notifications to other Galaxy devices and continue the call from there. It’s similar to Google’s upcoming cross-device feature and Apple’s ability to hand off FaceTime calls from an iPhone to an iPad or Mac.
These leaked information reveal that the One UI 7 update aims to improve the user experience. However, the features seen in these leaks may change before Samsung’s official release. According to rumors, the One UI 7 beta version may be released to users soon. More details and changes are expected to emerge with this beta version.
