Samsung recently gave us a glimpse of One UI 7, its upcoming software update based on Android 15, during its annual developer conference. Although we won’t see the official rollout until early 2025, exciting details about this major update are starting to emerge, promising significant enhancements for compatible smartphones and tablets.
One of the key highlights of One UI 7 will be its refreshed interface, aimed at improving both usability and aesthetics. Users can look forward to a new set of icons that will make it easier to navigate essential apps like dialer, messages, gallery, calculator, and clock. This visual upgrade is designed to simplify interactions, making everyday tasks smoother and more intuitive.

Beyond just looks, One UI 7 will bring some powerful new features, particularly in the area of parental controls. Parents will be able to block or allow specific apps and websites on their children’s devices, providing greater oversight of their online activities. This addition addresses growing concerns about digital safety and screen time management, giving families more control.
Samsung is also enhancing how notifications are handled on the lock screen. The new “smart notification management” feature will allow users to see their notifications at a glance without needing to unlock their devices. This should make it much easier to stay informed and engaged throughout the day.
Another exciting aspect of the update is a built-in location tracking feature similar to Apple’s Find My app. This will help users quickly locate their devices, which is especially handy for those who tend to misplace their smartphones or tablets.
Health features are also getting attention in One UI 7. The Energy Score, which debuted with the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, will see improvements, although specific details are still under wraps. It remains to be seen if this will also support older devices.
AI capabilities will play a big role in the new update. One UI 7 will introduce a feature called “Homework Help,” designed to assist users with math and physics problems, something that was showcased by Google earlier. This tool aims to make learning more engaging and accessible for students using Samsung devices.
Moreover, users will have the ability to “restyle” their portraits using AI and apply various artistic effects. The popular “Sketch to Image” feature will also expand to more devices, enhancing creativity and personalization. Additionally, Samsung’s AI Zoom will ensure clearer images at high zoom levels, appealing to photography enthusiasts.
With all these enhancements, One UI 7 is set to elevate the user experience on Samsung devices. As we look forward to its release, users can expect a blend of functionality, stylish design, and cutting-edge technology, solidifying Samsung’s position in the competitive smartphone market.
