Samsung Camera in One UI 7: Bold revamp in Galaxy Camera incoming
Following the recent SDC24 event, many attendees and tipsters have shared videos showcasing the early build of Samsung’s One UI 7.0 on social media. These videos highlight amazing new features and improvements of One UI 7, especially in the Samsung Camera app.
One UI 7 aims to make the Samsung Camera interface more simple and easy to use. A recent video highlighted the revamped look of the app interface, which features in early builds.
In One UI 7, camera modes like Photos, Videos, Portraits, and more are now placed at the bottom of the screen. This makes it much easier to switch between different modes while taking photos or videos.
Moreover, it brings significant changes to the camera controls. One UI 7 has introduced a single button at the bottom of the camera interface. This replaces the Night Shot option that is currently available in the One UI 6.1.1 software.
Users will able to see Camera control options like Settings, Flash, Timer, Aspect Ratio, and Motion Photo at the lower middle of the screen. This change lets users navigate the app more quickly and with less clutter on the screen.
Additionally, for those who prefer using their phone with one hand, some options are still available in the top right corner of the camera layout.
Notably, Samsung made these changes to the camera interface in the early build of the next One UI software, aiming to provide a more intuitive and enjoyable camera experience.
Samsung is going to release the One UI 7 Beta at the end of this year for developers and will make the stable version available alongside the Galaxy S25 series in 2025.
Samsung leaked select One UI 7 design elements and app icons on Galaxy Book laptops. The company rolled out a new Galaxy Book Experience app update. The latest version replaced current app icons with newer ones from One UI 7.
Android 15-based One UI 7 Beta Program could launch early next week. Recently, the first Beta build has surfaced online on Samsung’s software server. The Public rollout is slated to start by late January or early February next year.
The Galaxy S24 series is first in line to receive the One UI 7 Beta update. The Beta could not be available globally as Samsung is slated to stick to traditional market availability; China, Germany, India, Poland, South Korea, the UK, and the US.
Key One UI 7 design elements leaked
The new Galaxy Book Experience app has revamped icons from One UI 7 for Samsung Phone, Samsung Notes, SmartThings, and Tips. The software hasn’t yet been released for Galaxy phones, but icons match with previously leaked icons.
Samsung has revamped many app icons such as Samsung Phone, Samsung Messages, Samsung Internet, My Files, Gallery, Calculator, Samsung Cloud, Samsung Contacts, Settings, Samsung Camera, Samsung Clock, and FM Radio.
The screenshots from Galaxy Book show new Notes and Tips app icons. A majority of Galaxy users want Samsung to change the Notes app’s design. The public build could reflect changes if enough voice is raised during the Beta Program.
At SDC24, Samsung announced a universal One UI software for various device segments. The company’s latest Smart TV models have recently got One UI design, with home appliances featuring a touchscreen set to follow soon.
Samsung is all set to release the One UI 7.0 Beta for the Galaxy S24 series anytime. The first Beta firmware with a build version ending with ZXKB has been spotted on Samsung’s server, hinting at an imminent announcement.
One UI 7.0 Beta release has been delayed since the July-August period. Now, it seems the Beta Program isn’t far from kicking off for Samsung’s latest flagships. For the first time, a Beta build has been listed on Samsung’s software server.
Build version S928BXXU4ZXKB refers to Galaxy S24 Ultra (Global). This means countries like Germany, India, Poland, and the UK will soon be eligible for the Beta activity. There will be separate builds for the US, Korean, and Chinese variants.
Well, we still need to wait for the public One UI 7 Beta Program to commence. The first Beta build has surfaced today only, and there’s always room for finishing touches before seeding it to consumer units.
One UI 7 Beta could be released next week
Recently, a credible source revealed that Samsung could open the Android 15-based One UI 7 Beta Program after November 17. It’s expected that the Beta firmware will be available for download early next week.
In the first phase, the Beta Program can be accessible in the US and South Korea. The second phase could cover the remaining five countries. However, there could be some strategic changes in the Beta software’s distribution.
The new One UI version would bring revamped icons, separated quick settings and notification sections, new rounded user interface components, fluid animations and transitions, functional refinements, Galaxy AI upgrades, and so on.
A worldwide Beta Program will help Samsung better understand the needs and likings of Galaxy consumers. We always wish Samsung would open One UI Beta internationally. However, such changes are not likely to happen this year.
One UI 7 Beta update for Samsung Galaxy devices is almost here, and several phones are already testing it internally. Now, the 2022 Galaxy M series smartphone, Samsung Galaxy M33, running Android 15 and One UI 7 has appeared on Geekbench with amazing benchmark scores.
Samsung Galaxy M33 running One UI 7 has scored 939 in single-core performance and 1987 in multi-core performance. These numbers show a noticeable improvement over its current software, which suggests that the upcoming update will make the phone run faster and smoother.
However, it’s important to note that these scores are from early versions of the software, so the final performance may be different. Still, it shows that Samsung is working hard to make One UI 7 better for users, offering an enhanced experience with improved speed and performance.
Launched in 2022, the Galaxy M33 is powered by a 5nm Octa-core Exynos 1280 processor and a Mali-G68 GPU. It was originally released with Android 12 and is currently running Android 14. With the new Android 15 and One UI 7, the Galaxy M33 phone is showing promising performance improvements in testing.
Samsung is likely to roll out One UI 7 Beta on November 17. The stable version of the update will launch with the Galaxy S25 next year. After that, the update will be rolled out to other Galaxy devices.
Apart from the Galaxy M33, other Samsung devices are also being tested with One UI 7, including the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S23, Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy A53, Galaxy A73, and more. With testing well underway, One UI 7 looks set to bring better performance and a smoother experience to a wide range of Galaxy phones.
