Samsung is gearing up to release One UI 7 for Galaxy devices, but the company has been unusually quiet about the Android 15 update—until now. Thanks to a leaker’s slip on Samsung’s Spanish website, we’ve finally gotten a glimpse of what’s to come, though it seems the page went live earlier than intended.
What’s New in One UI 7?
Samsung has confirmed that AI will be at the heart of One UI 7, promising a “sophisticated new look” and AI integration in every feature. Here’s what’s been revealed so far:
- Fresh Icons and Smart Notification Center: A sleek, modernized interface will make notifications smarter and easier to manage.
- Redesigned Lock Screen: Users will get a quick view of ongoing activities without unlocking their devices.
AI-Powered Creativity Tools
Samsung is pushing AI-based image enhancements to new heights in One UI 7:
- Sketch to Image: Turn basic sketches into detailed images using AI. Current Galaxy devices have this feature, but One UI 7 will expand it with 3D Cartoon, Sketch, and Watercolor options.
- Portrait Studio: Transform portrait photos into artistic profile pictures with themes like Comic, 3D Cartoon, and Sketch. This feature will also require an internet connection and Samsung Account login. Portraits will be saved at 9MP with a visible AI-generated watermark.
Both features will require a network connection and result in resized images with watermarks indicating AI generation.
- Live Effects: Add depth and perspective to your photos for a more immersive look.
Impact of the New AI Features on User Experience
The integration of AI in One UI 7 promises to significantly enhance the user experience for Samsung Galaxy device owners. Here’s how:
