Rumored features of One UI 7 update
With the official release date of One UI 7 fast approaching, the internet has been abuzz with rumors and leaks. Over the past few weeks, there have been a lot of reports giving us bits and pieces of what features the upcoming update could come with.
According to rumors, the Galaxy devices’ Contacts, Dialer, Settings, Browser, Gallery, Theme, and other stock apps could have new icons that are different from what is present on the Galaxy S24, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6. The Settings app icon and menu iconography have also been redrawn according to the new concept having more rounded edges.
Additionally, Samsung could also have a new One UI feature, allowing notifications to get expanded into a sort of live activity, which will be very similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island handling certain functionalities. In the leaked report, the timer activity is minimized straight into the notification shade.
Given the growing influence of AI across the industry, it wouldn’t be surprising if the upcoming update doubles down on machine learning and generative artificial intelligence.
The Android 15 update is rumored to arrive with a viable milestone for widget appreciators as the upcoming software could come with support for Lock Screen widgets. It is likely that most Android 15 features could carry over to the upcoming One UI 7 update.
According to the rumors, the Android 15 update might bring battery health to Android, making it easy to check the health of your Galaxy device’s battery. Moreover, Battery Life Optimizations are also believed to be arriving for One UI 7. Galaxy AI could be used for intelligently shutting down any unnecessary tasks that might be running in the background and using system resources.
There’s a rumor going around that the upcoming One UI 7 might come with a brand-new camera interface. Some leaks about the One UI 7’s camera app have even surfaced, thanks to @chunvn888 on X (formerly known as Twitter)
Further, another rumor is that Samsung might be bringing a vertical app drawer with the upcoming One UI 7 update. Interestingly, a moderator of the Samsung Community forum spilled the beans, stating that a vertically scrollable app drawer is being prepared for the upcoming iteration of One UI. However, there is also a theory that since the moderator represented the Good Lock Support team, there is a chance that this feature might be available as a Good Lock module.
