Smartphone makers have started releasing their next gen flagship devices with Samsung also gearing up for the launch of its Galaxy S25 series. These new high end phones would offer top notch specs and features, but it’s expected to bring the latest iteration of Android as well. So here’s what we can expect from the brand’s vision of Android 15, dubbed the One UI 7.
1. An Updated Look
Along with the Android 15 OS update, one of the biggest changes with the latest One UI build is the refreshes in the user interface. Samsung is planning on releasing the One UI 7 stable version in 2025 with a fresh new look. During the Samsung Developer Conference, the One UI 7 was showcased in images, which revealed changes in the control center, recently used apps menu, brand new notification panel, and much more. Even the apps themselves might also see changes, like the Gallery, Phone, Camera, Recorder, Contacts, Samsung Notes, and others.
Earlier this month, a render of the Galaxy S25 Ultra surfaced online, offering us the first look at the One UI 7. While this was just a mockup, it gave us a proper view of the new control center. Upcoming changes in the ColorOS 15 and OxygenOS 15 make it seem like an Apple iOS inspired UI design. Samsung’s One UI 7 is not taking direct inspiration but seems to have hints of iPhone’s software. You can see a split notification panel with rounded corners and transparencies.
2. New & Improved Galaxy AI?
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S25 series with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. This new processor offers massive improvements in CPU, graphics, and NPU processing. In other words, AI powered features could be better and faster than ever before and Samsung’s Galaxy AI can take advantage of these upgrades. So we can expect the return of Call Assist, Transcript Assist, Interpreter, Note Assist, Browsing Assist, Live Translate, Circle to Search, and more.
3. Best Version of One UI yet?
In one of the latest reports, it was stated that the One UI 7 could be the biggest improvement in the history of Samsung’s smartphone software. The brand is taking longer than usual to release the One UI 7 beta. But the One UI 7 is being in the oven for a long might pay off by the end. This could ensure a bug free release and greater improvements overall. Known Samsung tipster Ice Universe claims that the One UI 7 is the biggest upgrade in the history of Samsung software. There’s not only a performance boost, but also improved animations, transitions, system stability, and smoothness.
