Samsung is gearing up to roll out One UI 7, its latest proprietary skin, starting this month. Although the company has not officially disclosed the rollout timeline, fresh leaks have offered an exciting glimpse into what users can expect. Tech tipster Tarun Vats has shared images on X (formerly Twitter), revealing the redesigned control panel for One UI 7. Additionally, the first internal build of the software has been spotted for the Galaxy A54, signaling active development and testing.
Refined Control Panel Design in One UI 7
The leaked images of One UI 7’s control panel reveal subtle but significant design refinements. While the overall layout remains reminiscent of One UI 6, there are key enhancements:
- Modernized Quick Settings: The individual blocks in the quick settings now sport a pill-shaped design with rounded edges, offering a sleeker, more polished appearance.
- Enhanced Media Controls: A dedicated music controller is now integrated into the control center, allowing users to play, pause, and manage playback directly.
- Optimized Sliders: Below the music controller, users will find horizontal sliders for volume and brightness, providing easy access and smoother controls.
While the images do not divulge extensive details, reports suggest that split notifications and quick settings in two panes could be introduced—similar to implementations seen in iOS and other Android skins. Additionally, the lock screen might display ongoing activities, further enhancing usability.
New Features Expected in One UI 7
Samsung’s Spanish website previously hinted at several standout features for One UI 7 before the page was taken down. These include:
- Sketch to Image: A creative tool for transforming sketches into digital art.
- Portrait Studio: Enhanced photo editing capabilities.
- Live Effects: Real-time filters and effects for videos and images.
- Child Safety Features: Improved tools for parental controls and content monitoring.
Internal Build Spotted for Galaxy A54
As Samsung prepares for the One UI 7 beta program, the first internal build has been spotted on the test server for the Galaxy A54, following its availability for the A53 and A55. The build version, A546BXXUBDXKA/A546BOXMBDXKA/A546BXXUBDXKA, confirms that Samsung has started rigorous internal testing of the software.
