Samsung will soon start rolling out the stable One UI 7 update, which millions of Galaxy users have been waiting for months. In addition to the rollout plan, the brand has announced which Galaxy devices will get the update.

One UI 7: new features and major changes
The animations have gotten better, leading to a smoother experience when opening and switching apps and navigating the UI — and we finally have a vertical app drawer. Most Galaxy users would appreciate it even though it’s a small change.
Perhaps the biggest visual upgrade is the new Now Bar. It’s an interactive pill-shared UI element that sticks to the bottom of the lock screen and provides quick access to ongoing activities, real-time updates from Google Maps, live sports scores, charging status, and more. Most stock apps have got new icons with a more colorful appearance.
One UI 7 adds new interactive widgets and lets you freely place them on the home screen. The widget section has also been updated to look modern and visually appealing. The update also brings new charging animations.
Samsung has improved the Quick Settings panel by offering more customizations and separating the Quick Settings and notification panel for easier access. You can now rearrange sections by dragging and dropping them. The home screen is also more customizable than ever before. The lock screen, too, is getting a host of new customizations to make it more personal.
Galaxy AI has been improved to be more helpful, while also offering new features. The Writing Assist now works across the UI with any keyboard (previously restricted to Samsung Keyboard). The call transcript feature can automatically transcribe recorded calls in up to 20 languages.
One UI 7 on the Galaxy S25 series also brings Now Brief to present relevant information based on time and user habits. Since this feature requires a lot of on-device processing, it won’t come to most Galaxy devices (more on this here). The update also brings AI-powered audio eraser (for removing unwanted sound from videos) and object eraser features (for removing unwanted objects from video frames).
