I have been testing for 15 days One UI 7I have no doubt: it is the most successful work of Samsung For a long time. Based on Android 15, this update has been revealed at the same time as Galaxy S25. As soon as he was announced, users of previous generations were impatiently awaiting his arrival on their devices. Despite some delays, it is finally there, and it brings major improvements to the Galaxy system.
One UI 7 is part of the continuity of developed developments with one UI 5 and reinforced with one UI 6: make the interface more versatile, intuitive et customizablewhile adding Useful functions and tools based on Artificial intelligence. It is a turning point for the Galaxy ecosystem, and one of the most successful updates of recent years.
3 strong axes: control, functions and artificial intelligence
Yes, the deployment of one UI 7 took more time than expected. Samsung has obviously had to meet several challenges to properly adapt this version to the compatible models. But the wait was worth much. The interface, the user experience and the new functions, especially if you have a recent model, evolve considerably.
A visible overhaul and a more fluid experience
The update transforms the feeling of use. With its new iconsses Widgets redesigned and the overhaul of screens shortcut and notificationsthe whole gives the impression of a completely new device. Among the most practical new products: Agendis files On the home screen, which allow the applications to be opened directly without having to enter the structure of the folder.
Beyond appearance, general fluidity has been optimized. Animations are more reactive, more soft transitions. Navigating the system becomes more pleasant and faster.
A more efficient and better integrated AI
Samsung further strengthens its suite Galaxy ai With concrete additions:
- And Image editing tool based on generative AI, impressive results
- A audio treatment which improves the sound of recorded videos
- A Integration enriched with Gemininow capable of performing more complex tasks
Artificial intelligence is now at the heart of the Galaxy experience, and this version proves it.
Promising novelties, to be refined
One UI 7 also introduces the Now Bara dynamic bar accessible from the locking screen. This interactive module, still limited, makes it possible to interact with certain apps without unlocking the phone. A promising idea, which would benefit from being developed in the next updates.
A striking version in the evolution of Galaxy
One UI 7 is not content to add some options. It deeply changes the user experience. Between new animationsTHE Reinforced functionsa Revisited interface and a more present artificial intelligencethis update marks a major step.
The version One UI 8 is already expected for this year, probably with the Galaxy Z Fold7 et From Flip7. The objective: to regain confidence by accelerating updates. But a quick outing could also mean fewer new features.
Personally, I prefer to wait for a rich and complete update to quickly receive a light version. Whatever happens, One UI 7 will remain a reference For Samsung users for a long time.
