Hours after rumors surfaced about Samsung’s One UI 7 beta release, Samsung has now officially announced the beta program, confirming its AI-focused interface update.
Here is more to it.
New AI Features
The interface integrates AI features across multiple functions. Text-related tools allow users to summarize content, perform spelling and grammar checks, and convert notes to bullet points without switching applications.
The call recording system now includes automatic transcription in 29 languages and dialects, spanning Arabic, Chinese (mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan), English (Australia, India, UK, US), Dutch, French (Canada, France), German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil, Europe), Romanian, Russian, Spanish (Mexico, Spain, US), Swedish, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
Interface and Camera Enhancements Focus on Simplicity
Samsung has introduced a new notification system featuring the Now Bar on the lock screen, providing quick access to functions like Interpreter, Music, Recording, and Stopwatch.
The camera interface receives a significant update with simplified Pro and Pro video modes, including new zoom controls for smoother video transitions.
The interface update also brings redesigned home screen elements, widgets, and lock screen customization options, focusing on reducing visual complexity while maintaining functionality.
Availability
The beta program begins December 5 for Galaxy S24 series users in six markets: Germany, India, Korea, Poland, the U.K., and the U.S. Interested users can apply through the Samsung Members app. The full version is scheduled for release with new Galaxy S25 series devices in the first quarter of 2025, with a gradual rollout planned for other Galaxy devices.
