Samsung starts rollout of One UI 7 to Galaxy devices

SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. has started rolling out One UI 7, it announced on Friday.
“One UI 7 will begin rolling out in the Philippines within April, expanding to more Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the following weeks, including the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S24 FE, the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5, the Galaxy Tab S10 series and the Galaxy Tab S9 series,” it said in a statement.
The new user interface is built for artificial intelligence (AI), Samsung said, and allows for better user personalization and control.
It features a simplified home screen and redesigned One UI widgets and lock screen.
“For added convenience, Now Bar provides real-time updates that matter most right on the lock screen. So, during a morning run, users can easily check their progress and see what song is playing in your Galaxy Buds — all with a simple swipe, without unlocking their phone,” the company said.
One UI 7 is also meant to support AI-driven experiences, it added.
“With Galaxy AI, users can simplify everyday tasks, minimizing the need to switch between applications. AI Select intuitively recommends by understanding context… Writing Assist allows users to easily summarize or automatically format contents in which texts can be selected,” Samsung said.
Other features include Drawing Assist and Audio Eraser.
The interface also supports deeper Google Gemini integration, it added. — BVR
