One UI 7: When is it coming out?
Adding to the confusion around the One UI 7 launch isGoogle’s rumored plan to releaseAndroid 16earlier than usual.
New home screen:Samsung has simplified the look of the One UI home screen.
That includes redesigned icons, which now sport darker colors and gradient backgrounds.
Widgets get a redesign, too, so that their look is more aligned to app icons.
The idea, according to Samsung, is to remove visual clutter and make customization more intuitive than before.
There’s other change beyond these surface improvements.
A search bar at the bottom of the screen helps you find whatever it is you’re looking for.
Other reported improvements include smoother animations for when you open and close apps.
One UI 7 adds to that with new writing assist tools that are more fully integrated into the OS.
By making these tools easier to access, One UI 7 provides yet another potential productivity boost.
However, in One UI 7’s case, the transcription feature supports 20 different languages.
Even better, if you have call recording enabled, your recorded calls are transcribed automatically.
Our biggest question right now is whether there’s more to come with the Galaxy S25 release next year.
If so, it’ll make the long wait for those software update worth it.
