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

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

Nonetheless, Samsung quietly left telephones operating an early construct of the software program hidden in plain sight on the present. All through the present ground, there have been code stations the place Samsung workers may assist software program engineers perceive how one can do sure issues. There have been in all probability 50+ stations on the present, however 4 of these stations had Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultras operating 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 might affirm the pics are legit.

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

Let’s dive into what we realized!

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 may see how this at the moment appears to be like. Based on SammyGuru, there’s a solution to revert again to having Fast Settings tiles and notifications on the identical web page, however I couldn’t check that for myself.

Exterior of the cut up of those two techniques, each have some slight design adjustments. Notifications are a lot rounder, for one. The little arrow that seems on the suitable to develop 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 lots 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 Middle.

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 adjustments in a few years.

Within the picture above, you may see a few of the most notable ones. The Gallery app is far more colourful, with a rainbow gradient behind the “flower” picture. The middle of the flower is orange as an alternative of purple, as we see on One UI 6.1. The Digital camera app additionally will get a wildly redesigned icon, making it look far more like a “actual” digital camera 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 ebook, full with what appears to be like to be a illustration of lined paper on the suitable.

The Settings app additionally obtained a major redesign, taking quite a lot of cues from the one we see in iOS. In truth, quite a lot of these icon designs appear lifted or no less than impressed by their iOS counterparts, which can little question disappoint many Samsung followers. Lastly, the Telephone app is subtly totally different, too, however not by a lot.

That’s all we’ve obtained for One UI 7 leaks at SDC 2024. Nonetheless, there’s a brief video clip under recorded by Abhijeet Mishra from SamMobile. It doesn’t present something we don’t see within the pictures above, but it surely’s one other fast take a look at what we all know to this point. Earlier than you go, make sure you vote within the ballot above to tell us what you concentrate on One UI 7 to this point!
