Samsung has announced the rollout of its next major Galaxy software update, One UI 7, set to begin in the first week of March. While the update brings a significant visual overhaul to Samsung’s Android skin, it also introduces several new features, particularly focused on artificial intelligence (AI). The new features aim to enhance user experience and functionality on Samsung devices.
One of the key additions to One UI 7 is the “Now Bar,” which provides real-time updates on the lock screen from select apps such as Google Maps and Google Sports Scores. Additionally, the update includes improvements to existing Galaxy AI features. However, Samsung has clarified that not all new Galaxy AI features in One UI 7 will be available across all devices, with compatibility varying depending on the specific smartphone or tablet model.
Samsung has outlined seven new AI features that will be included in the One UI 7 update. These features encompass functionalities like real-time updates on the lock screen, adaptive content selection, text summarization, image generation, audio editing in videos, integration with Google Gemini, and natural language search within device settings. While most features will be available across a range of Galaxy devices with One UI 7, some features like Audio Eraser and natural language search in Settings are more limited in their availability.
To provide clarity on which features will be accessible on different Galaxy devices, Samsung has shared a breakdown. The availability of features like Now Bar, AI Select, Writing Assist, Drawing Assist, Gemini side button, and natural language search in Settings varies across models such as the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold series, and Tab S series. The One UI 7 update is set to start rolling out on April 7.
Overall, Samsung’s One UI 7 update showcases the company’s commitment to innovation and enhancing user experiences on its range of Galaxy devices. By introducing new AI features and improving existing functionalities, Samsung aims to provide users with a more intuitive and intelligent mobile experience.
