Samsung started rolling out a stable Android 12 update for the Galaxy S21 series on November 15, 2021. At the same time, the company confirmed the arrival of this major software upgrade to more flagship, mid-range, and eligible budget Galaxies on a later date, until H2 2022.
While the company has officially introduced the upgraded version of One UI 4.0 with the Galaxy S22 series, it’s expected that all the Galaxy devices scheduled to get Android 12 update after February or March 2022 will be shifted to One UI 4.1 by skipping the One UI 4.0.

Samsung may debut the Nowbar Live Notifications feature in the One UI 7 update. While exact information is unavailable, Nowbar is said to be the name of the functionality responsible for live activities on the lock screen.
Beyond that, Samsung One UI 7 would introduce a Nowcard page, from which you may be able to access the settings of Nowbar Live Notifications. Tipster @chunvn8888 revealed that the Nowbar will have plenty of interactive elements for apps.
Key changes in Live Notifications:
New Location: One UI 7 Live notifications could be found within the Nowcard settings. This means you will need to go to the Nowcard settings to manage and view live notifications.
Nowbar Integration: Interactive elements of live notifications, such as:
- Google Maps directions
- Countdown timers
In addition, it’s reported that the health tracking data will be moved to the Nowbar. Simply put, the Nowbar is a pill-shaped feature, which provides quick access to information and controls.
One UI 7 Nowbar and Nowcard
Samsung making this change to streamline the notification experience on Galaxy devices. By moving interactive elements to the Nowbar, the Notification panel can be less cluttered and easier to navigate.
Adding to this, the One UI 7’s Nowbar seems to be offering a more convenient way to interact with live notifications without having to open the full notification. It would provide quicker access to important information to Galaxy users.
One UI 7 Release Date
Samsung will start the One UI 7 rollout for Galaxy devices early next year. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24 series users will get early access to the software via the Beta Program. The activity could start next week with availability expected in 7 markets.
The major update will introduce several design and interface changes. The Quick Settings page will be heavily customizable, probably allowing you to alter the cards’ position. Read more about this upcoming software in our archive.
As the One UI 7 Beta release approaches, Samsung has started notifying users about the upcoming changes and new features on their current Galaxy smartphones. Recently, Samsung confirmed the removal of three features from its Camera app with One UI 7 via Notices.
According to the One UI 7 pre-release notice, Samsung will remove three features from the AR Zone in the Camera app. These features are:
- Deco Pic
- Quick Measure
- AR Doodle
So, if you are currently using any of these features on your smartphone, be aware that they will be removed from the Camera app. However, fortunately, Samsung is offering separate apps for these features with One UI 7.
Samsung is separating some of the AR features you’ve used in the past. The AR Doodle, Quick Measure, and Deco Pic features will no longer be part of the Camera app with One UI 7 but these features will become individual apps.
You will be able to download them from the Samsung Galaxy Store. This gives users more flexibility to download and use only the features they need.
Galaxy Avatar
Samsung also announced the renaming of the AR Emoji feature to Galaxy Avatar with One UI 7. The Galaxy Avatar feature can now be found under Settings > Advanced Features. This feature is expected to give users a fresh new way to express themselves with even more customization options.
One UI 7 Beta
One UI 7 Beta is almost ready to release, as several hints suggest. Recently, Samsung updated its Samsung Members app to a new version, which hints that the One UI 7 Beta Program will start soon.
In the updated app, hidden pages have been spotted that are connected to signing up, enrolling, and withdrawing from the beta program.
Samsung is expected to introduce fully customizable Quick Settings with One UI 7.0. The next update will bring separated Quick Settings and Notification Panels. Beyond that, the interface is said to have heavy personalization capabilities.
The latest One UI 7 build adopted new media and brightness sliders. The new interface looks different than the build Samsung showed at SDC last month. A new input suggests that Samsung One UI 7.0 would feature customizable Quick Settings.
A report from @BuligaDavidCri1/X suggests that One UI 7.0 will let you add, remove, or customize the position of the brightness and volume adjustment section. This way, Galaxy users will be able to design the quick panel as per their preference.
One UI 7.0 could allow you to alter the position of the brightness slider. The same functionality could be available for the attached media slider. The latest One UI 6.1.1 only allows you to adjust quick toggles on the page.
Earlier, we’ve seen a handful of One UI 7 interface changes in a leaked video (pulled). The video also hinted at customizable sections in the Quick Settings panel. Tap and hold could show an Edit button, letting you alter the position.
Brightness and Media are some of the most used components across the interface. I would like to bring that section to the bottom of the Quick Panel. It will help me with single-handed access – without needing to stretch my thumb.
One UI 7 Release Date
One UI 7 Beta Program could launch next week for the Galaxy S24 series. The final version is set to arrive and be introduced with the Galaxy S25 series next year. Galaxy users having eligible devices can expect the mass rollout by February next year.
