Without further ado, I give you the seven (yes, the number is intentional) most exciting new One UI 7 features, as confirmed and (in some cases, minimally) detailed by Samsung today:
Now Bar
Are you tired of constantly unlocking your phone to start your day how you always do or find your most used apps? Now you can save… quite a bit of time when you think about it by getting AI-powered suggestions via Samsung’s brand-new Now Bar.
This is just small and discreet enough not to be too distracting, but also smart enough to transform your traditional lock screen experience, especially in the future, when Samsung plans to add even more “intelligent experiences” and features to it.
Simplified home screen

Big notifications and quick settings changes
If you ever wished Samsung’s take on Android would separate your phone’s notifications from its quick toggles, your wish has now become a (commercial) reality.
Redesigned camera interface
If you’re a pro-level photographer or video recorder, you’ll be delighted to know that One UI 7 promises “more intuitive control over advanced” camera settings. Your camera buttons, controls, and modes have officially been reorganized to make it easier to produce the best possible snapshots with the highest level of detail in any and all conditions.
Enhanced security
With AI becoming such a big part of the One UI experience, a new, “fortified” layer of safety was definitely needed to keep up with all the unique challenges of a new mobile tech era. To that end, Samsung is updating the little-known but very handy Auto Blocker feature, adding new Maximum Restrictions settings, bumping up Theft Protection, and rolling out a new Knox Matrix dashboard to keep an eye on the overall security of your entire “connected device ecosystem.”
