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.

Galaxy AI Notifications
Key Information:
- Galaxy AI could add an AI Notifications feature inspired by Apple Intelligence Notification Summary.
- AI Notification feature could be added with One UI 7 update.
- Samsung is said to support AI Notifications in a handful of languages.
Samsung’s Galaxy AI Notifications could make iOS 18.1’s Notification Summary feel outdated. The company is expected to bring a brand new feature with One UI 7. The addition will redefine how you interact with ongoing notifications.
Tipster ChunBhai revealed Galaxy AI Notifications feature will support a handful of languages other than English. Apple Intelligence’s Notification Summary is currently supported in English only, with support will be expanded sequentially.
The rumor suggests Samsung’s AI Notifications could be supported in English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, and French. This way, Galaxy users will have a far better experience as compared to its Apple Intelligence counterpart.
Meanwhile, Samsung hasn’t teased such an AI-powered feature for Galaxy devices. We are only getting key inputs in the form of leaks and rumors. However, the input is coming out from a credible source whose many leaks have proven true.
Samsung’s Galaxy AI already supports over a dozen languages. The company is regularly working on the expansion of supported languages and dialects. The recent rollout of Dutch will be followed by three more languages by the end of the year.
Apple also lags behind in terms of AI feature availability on iPhone models. Apple Intelligence is only available on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 lineups. Other models are out from the race due to, citing hardware limitations.
On the flip side, Samsung is bringing select AI features to Galaxy A (mid-range) smartphones. Full-fledged Galaxy AI experience is available on flagship models as old as released in 2022, with more epic experiences on the way.
