Samsung One UI 7 to bring iOS 18-like lock screen media player UI

Samsung could bring iOS 18-like media player UI to One UI 7 lock screen. The major interface revamp could replace the current layout with a larger one. The major update is set to be released for Galaxy devices early next year.

According to Ice Universe, One UI 7 could adopt a revamped lock screen media player UI. The current stake will be replaced with a brand-new design. It could be inspired by Apple’s iOS 18, which occupies a large portion of the lock screen.

One UI 7’s lock screen media player design could feature the thumbnail in a large square. The track progress bar and other buttons could be followed in a separate overlay. The blur setup will decide how cool the UI revamp looks on Galaxy lock screens.

iOS-equivalent interface is a long-due demand of Galaxy fans. Samsung is seemingly on a mission to offer very significant design tweaks with the One UI 7. We’ve already heard a lot about the refreshed quick settings and notification panel.

Apart from the new media player UI, the next One UI update will bring brand new quick settings and a notification panel. Fruitful functional refinements have also been made to enhance the overall user experience.

The company’s developers are also ensuring smoother animations. The end result would be comparable to Apple’s iOS, reports say. Galaxy AI is also said to add several new features and deeper integration with the applications.

Samsung could launch the Beta Program this month. The Stable update rollout will only start after the unveiling of the Galaxy S25 series. Phase I devices for Beta and Stable include S24, S23, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Z Fold 5, and Z Flip 5.
