One UI 7 is coming on April 7! Samsung announces more AI customisation – What’s new

Samsung announced that its latest software update, One UI 7, will begin rolling out on 7 April, introducing a redesigned interface alongside artificial intelligence (AI)-powered features. The update will first be available on the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and Galaxy Z Flip6, before extending to a wider range of Samsung devices.

New design and customisation features

One UI 7 introduces a simplified home screen and reworked widgets, aiming to provide a more cohesive experience. The lock screen has also been redesigned to improve personalisation options.

A key addition is the Now Bar, which delivers real-time updates directly on the lock screen. Users will be able to check progress during a workout or see what music is playing on their Galaxy Buds without unlocking their phone.

AI-driven functionalities

The update incorporates AI-powered tools designed to streamline tasks and enhance productivity. One UI 7 introduces ‘AI Select’, which allows users to interact with on-screen content more seamlessly, claims the tech giant. For example, swiping the Edge Panel and selecting the ‘AI Select’ option while watching a video enables users to save clips as GIFs.

‘Writing Assist’ offers automatic text formatting and summarisation, while ‘Drawing Assist’ allows users to create digital sketches by combining text prompts with images. Additionally, ‘Audio Eraser’ provides a noise removal function, enabling users to isolate and eliminate unwanted sounds from videos.
