Internal One UI 7 version revamped key Samsung app icons before Beta debut. The company is internally working on the software. A new input suggests that many app icons have been revamped as compared to the ones teased at SDC24.
IceUniverse claims that One UI 7 revamped key Samsung app icons. In particular, the One UI development team has modified the icons of the Gallery, Phone, Camera, Voice Recorder, Contacts, and Notes apps.
After the SDC24 keynote, Samsung showcased the One UI 7 at Code Labs. We’ve seen many videos and graphics of the upcoming software. As the internal development progresses, the interface is getting revamped to look more polished.
The source notes that the newly adopted icons feel more modern and cohesive. Such modifications would improve the aesthetic appeal of One UI 7. Samsung is also listening to consumer feedback to refine the Galaxy experience further.
The majority of Samsung devices sport advanced OLED displays. The top-notch flagships equip pro-grade panels with sizes measuring up to 6.8 inches. The icon revamp is aimed at ensuring that the UI remains intuitive and visually pleasing.
Continuous work on refining app icons suggests that the Korean tech giant is aiming for a cleaner, less distracting interface. Modern design trends should also be taken under consideration to match Galaxy consumers’ likings.
Earlier this month, Samsung announced the One UI 7 Beta Program will start by the end of this year. The opportunity to test the upcoming firmware will be available for both developers and general Galaxy smartphone users.
The final version is scheduled to be unveiled with the next-gen Galaxy S lineup. The company has a history of introducing new S family in the first quarter. However, we may see the Galaxy S25 series launch in the first month of 2025 itself.
The excitement for One UI 7.0 is building up, as rumors suggest it could be one of Samsung’s most significant updates. While these rumors make the wait for the stable update challenging, they also promise that One UI 7.0 could redefine the user experience for Samsung device owners.
The One UI 7.0 is expected to bring a major refresh in user interface and experience. This includes new animations, a redesigned quick panel, more intuitive app interfaces, gallery app icons, and lock screen customizations.
A new rumor claimed (via trustworthy Ice Universe) that this update is not just an incremental change; it represents the most significant overhaul in the history of Samsung’s user interface, promising a “powerful” user experience.
To use the full potential of One UI 7, the tipster suggested using Galaxy S25 Ultra with 16GB of RAM. Thanks to Qualcomm’s 8 Gen4 chip, the One UI 7.0 will get an extraordinary level of smoothness and speed, beating any performance seen in earlier Samsung devices.
While One UI 7 makes all compatible Samsung devices better, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is specially designed to get the most out of these new features. It’s not that Samsung is playing biased with its software; it’s just what happens when you pack really good software with the best hardware, Ice added in a post on X account.
The above rumor makes sense, technically the Galaxy S25 Ultra with 16GB RAM ensures that even the most demanding applications run without a glitch, providing users with a seamless experience. Going for the 16GB RAM could be the best decision, as the higher configuration will help your device run for 7 major Android OS upgrades, the software update policy which was officially confirmed by Samsung.
As per the official information, the stable version of One UI 7.0 might not be available until the launch of the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025, a beta program is anticipated to start by the end of 2024 for developers and soon after for users, starting with the Galaxy S24 series and other flagships.
