I’ve seen an early model of One UI 7, and there are modifications

Samsung held its annual developer’s convention in the present day, generally known as SDC. We anticipated the corporate to announce some information associated to One UI 7, the Android 15-based pores and skin that can land on Galaxy smartphones. Sadly, except for some disappointing information about a 2025 launch date, we didn’t be taught a lot in any respect concerning the Android pores and skin itself.

Nonetheless, Samsung quietly left telephones working an early construct of the software program hidden in plain sight on the present. All through the present flooring, there have been code stations the place Samsung workers might assist software program engineers perceive do sure issues. There have been in all probability 50+ stations on the present, however 4 of these stations had Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultras working One UI 7.

Jeff at SammyGuru first noticed and photographed these telephones. We’ve mirrored these pictures right here, however I checked out the telephones for myself and may affirm the pics are official.

Do notice, although, that these are leaks, and Samsung undoubtedly didn’t intend for individuals outdoors of SDC to see them. Subsequently, it’s doable that some and even all the modifications we see right here gained’t make it to the ultimate launch in 2025. Nonetheless, it’s a great way to see what Samsung is working in the direction of.

Let’s dive into what we discovered!

It appears Samsung isn’t going to attend that lengthy, although. The leaked model of One UI 7 I briefly used in the present day has notifications and Fast Settings tiles cut up. Within the pictures above, you’ll be able to see how this at present seems. In line with SammyGuru, there’s a option to revert again to having Fast Settings tiles and notifications on the identical web page, however I couldn’t take a look at that for myself.

Exterior of the cut up of those two techniques, each have some slight design modifications. Notifications are a lot rounder, for one. The little arrow that seems on the best to increase the notification has additionally been shifted to be extra centered.

In the meantime, the Fast Settings tiles part has a smaller brightness slider and a brand new quantity slider proper subsequent to it. All the things can also be a lot rounder, making One UI 7 look quite a bit nearer to Google’s Materials You design we see each in Pixel UI in addition to inventory Android. It additionally doesn’t look too far off from iOS 18’s Management Heart.

You’ll additionally discover the battery icon within the standing bar has modified to one thing similar to the one we leaked some time in the past. Though what we leaked nonetheless appeared like a battery, and this one is simply an oval, the idea is just about the identical.

Samsung can also be altering a few of its icons. If Samsung doesn’t change its thoughts earlier than 2025, this would be the first time we’ve seen vital icon modifications in a few years.

Within the picture above, you’ll be able to see a number of the most notable ones. The Gallery app is way more colourful, with a rainbow gradient behind the “flower” picture. The middle of the flower is orange as an alternative of crimson, as we see on One UI 6.1. The Digicam app additionally will get a wildly redesigned icon, making it look way more like a “actual” digicam than the flat, simplified picture we see used in the present day.

The Galaxy Retailer’s icon can also be redesigned. The “bag” picture has a brand new look making it look extra like a tote bag and fewer like a handbag. The colour scheme appears a bit brighter, too. Contacts has been modified to make it look extra like a e book, full with what seems to be a illustration of lined paper on the best.

The Settings app additionally bought a major redesign, taking a number of cues from the one we see in iOS. The truth is, a number of these icon designs appear lifted or not less than impressed by their iOS counterparts, which can little question disappoint many Samsung followers. Lastly, the Cellphone app is subtly totally different, too, however not by a lot.

That’s all we’ve bought for One UI 7 leaks at SDC 2024. Nonetheless, there’s a quick video clip under recorded by Abhijeet Mishra from SamMobile. It doesn’t present something we don’t see within the pictures above, however it’s one other fast have a look at what we all know thus far. Earlier than you go, be sure you vote within the ballot above to tell us what you consider One UI 7 thus far!
