Samsung One UI 7.0 Update Rollout and New Features
• Samsung has begun releasing the stable Android 15-based One UI 7.0 update for the Galaxy S24 series in Europe, following a beta program in Germany, Poland, and the UK.
• The update includes a redesigned user interface, AI-powered features like the Now Bar and Live Notifications, and enhancements to Galaxy AI.
• A significant new feature is Good Lock's Home Up, offering extensive home screen customization options, including DIY Home screen layout and adjustable gesture animations.
• Users are advised to disable Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard before updating to avoid an issue with the Enter key on the password unlock screen.
• Samsung is also reportedly internally testing One UI 8 for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, suggesting a potentially faster rollout than previous iterations, possibly driven by Google's accelerated Android 16 release.
• One UI 7.0's Samsung Gallery app boasts new AI-powered editing tools such as Audio Eraser, Auto Trim, Advanced Generative AI Editing, Overlay Translation, and an enhanced RAW Image Editor.
• The update also introduces the Gimbal Subject Tracking feature, which automatically keeps the filming subject centered in the frame when connected to a compatible gimbal, improving video recording quality and incorporating audio from Galaxy Buds or similar devices.
