Samsung has officially rolled out One UI 7, its next-generation software update built on the latest Android version. With a strong focus on artificial intelligence (AI), improved usability, and refined visual design, Samsung One UI 7 update brings a major leap in how users interact with their Galaxy devices.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the most exciting new features, supported Galaxy devices, and detailed instructions on how to safely download and install One UI 7.
What’s New in Samsung One UI 7 Update?
Samsung continues its evolution toward smart, responsive, and user-centric design. With One UI 7, the emphasis is on intelligent systems that work quietly in the background to make your experience smoother — whether you’re communicating, working, editing media, or navigating the phone.
AI-Powered Features to Boost Your Daily Productivity
1. AI Select
This intelligent system reads your usage patterns and helps you complete tasks more efficiently. For instance, when you highlight text, AI Select may offer options like “summarize,” “translate,” or “copy to clipboard,” reducing the need for switching apps or menus.
2. Circle to Search
A Google-powered feature, Circle to Search lets you draw a circle around any element on your screen — an image, text, or video — to instantly search for it online. No more screenshots or manual copy-pasting.
3. AI Stickers
Turn your selfies and expressions into fun, animated stickers. Samsung’s AI can detect facial movements and generate personalized stickers that you can use in messages, stories, or posts.
4. Writing Assist
Whether you’re typing emails, writing social posts, or messaging, Writing Assist uses AI to check your grammar, suggest better phrasing, and even adjust tone — professional, casual, or friendly.
Creative and Smart Media Editing Tools
1. Drawing Assist
If you sketch or annotate photos, Drawing Assist refines your drawings in real-time, cleaning up lines and shapes to give them a more professional, polished look.
2. Portrait Studio
A step up from basic filters, this tool intelligently analyzes lighting and facial structure to enhance your portrait photos. It can add studio-like lighting effects, adjust shadows, or enhance eye focus.
3. Generative Edit
With this AI-powered feature, you can remove unwanted objects, change the background, or reposition elements in your photos. It works similarly to Photoshop’s content-aware fill, but in a mobile-friendly way.
4. Audio Eraser
Great for vloggers and students — Audio Eraser can remove background noise from voice recordings or videos, improving clarity without needing an external mic.
Smarter Productivity and Navigation Tools
1. Google Gemini Integration
Samsung has partnered with Google to bring Gemini, an advanced AI assistant, directly into One UI 7. Use it to schedule meetings, set reminders, or even get AI-generated summaries of long emails or notes.
2. Improved Gallery and Settings Search
Now, searching your Gallery or device settings is much smarter. For example, typing “sunset” brings up related images even if they aren’t tagged, thanks to on-device AI recognition.
Enhanced Personalization and Privacy
1. Now Brief & Now Bar
These are visual interface upgrades. “Now Brief” provides a condensed overview of your day — appointments, weather, and reminders — in one glance. “Now Bar” is a persistent, context-aware toolbar that suggests apps or actions based on what you’re doing.
2. AI Privacy Settings
Samsung lets you control how much your data is used for AI processing. You can keep AI functions strictly on-device or allow secure cloud processing for more powerful tasks. These settings are clear, transparent, and user-controlled.
3. Notifications and Quick settings
Your Galaxy phone’s Notification panel and Quick settings panel have received a new look with alternate navigation gestures for the Notification and Quick settings panels.
- To open the Notification panel, swipe down from the top left or center of the screen.
- To open the Quick settings panel, swipe down from the top right of the screen.
- To switch between your notifications and Quick settings, swipe left and right.
You can combine the panels if desired. Swipe down from the top right of the screen, and then tap the Edit icon (the pencil). Tap Panel settings, and then tap Notification and quick settings view. Tap Together to combine the panels.
Next-Level Communication Tools
1. Live Translate
Now supporting over 20 languages, Live Translate can convert both speech and text in real time during calls and chats — ideal for travelers and multicultural workplaces.
2. Call Summaries
After a phone call, One UI 7 can generate a short summary (text-only) of what was discussed, helping you capture important details or decisions without needing to take notes.
3. Video Call Reactions
Make your video calls more expressive with AR-based reactions. Smile, wave, or give a thumbs-up, and your phone overlays digital emojis or effects live during the call.
