One UI 7 introduces a sophisticated Writing Assistant, a powerful AI tool designed to elevate your writing across various applications. Whether you're composing an important email, drafting a message, or creating content, this feature acts as your personal editor. It goes beyond basic spell-checking and grammar correction, offering suggestions to improve the tone of your message, making it more professional, casual, or even poetic as needed. The Writing Assistant can also summarize lengthy texts into concise points and help with formatting, ensuring your communication is always clear, polished, and impactful. This AI-powered tool even allows users to start with a short fragment and let the AI expand on it, making writer's block a thing of the past.
Samsung has announced the public beta release of One UI 7, which brings advanced AI features and simplified control. This modern interface combines groundbreaking software improvements with innovative AI functions tailored to real user needs. The update also offers a preview of a refreshed mobile interface designed for even more intuitive use and greater personalization than ever before.
Intuitive Experiences Taken to the Next Level with Enhanced AI
One UI 7 introduces advanced Galaxy AI features, including comprehensive writing tools that boost productivity in every situation. Thanks to integration with the AI OS, users can now highlight texts without switching apps. This complements existing Galaxy tools such as content summarization, spellchecking, grammar correction, and automatic bullet formatting—all powered by artificial intelligence.
Improved Call Features Redefine Communication
Call features in One UI 7 are enhanced with automatic call transcription, supporting 29 languages. During a call, transcriptions are generated automatically, helping users avoid manual note-taking—even when multitasking. Users can manage the call recording feature under Settings > Call.
A New Design That Offers More Control and Personalization
One UI 7 introduces a completely new way to access Galaxy AI functions, built around a notification system that improves communication and allows easy access from the lock screen. The new “Now Bar” displays available options such as Translator, Music, Recorder, Stopwatch, and more—offering instant access to key functions. As a result, users can unlock their devices less frequently and still use the most essential tools instantly.
This new “Now Bar,” set to appear in upcoming Galaxy S devices, will revolutionize how users interact with the lock screen, paving the way for more intelligent solutions.
All of these changes are wrapped in a simple and visually impressive interface, delivering consistent experiences to Galaxy device users. One UI 7 allows for personalized, intuitive control of mobile devices using AI.
Simplified Home Screen and Widgets
Thanks to a streamlined home screen, redesigned One UI widgets, and new app customization options, the lock screen and other features work together to give users full control over details—making device personalization easy and intuitive.

Updated buttons, controls, and modes provide easier access to essential functions. A new popup window at the bottom of the preview screen now allows for fast switching between different camera modes—dramatically improving usability and workflow.
In Pro and Pro Video modes, the layout of manual settings has been simplified, enabling users to focus on creative tasks—whether photographing or filming—without unnecessary distractions.
A new feature in Pro Video mode allows precise zoom control, enabling speed adjustments for smooth and professional transitions.
Release and Availability
The official version of One UI 7 will be available with the upcoming Galaxy S series devices, launching in Q1 2025, featuring additional and improved AI functions. As part of Samsung’s ongoing commitment to OS updates, the new version will also be gradually rolled out to other Galaxy devices.

Advanced Writing Assistant
Intelligent Voice Recording Transcription and Summarization
For students, professionals, and anyone who relies on voice recordings, One UI 7 brings a game-changing AI feature: intelligent transcription and summarization. The Samsung Phone app can now effortlessly convert spoken words from your recordings into written text. But it doesn't stop there; the AI can also analyze the transcribed content and provide a concise summary of the key topics and action items discussed. This makes reviewing lectures, meetings, or interviews significantly faster and more efficient, allowing users to quickly grasp the essential information without listening to entire recordings.
Audio Eraser for Cleaner Video Soundtracks
Unwanted background noise can often ruin an otherwise perfect video. One UI 7 addresses this with the innovative Audio Eraser feature. Integrated into the video editing tools, Audio Eraser utilizes AI to identify and remove distracting sounds from your video clips. Whether it's the rumble of traffic, the chatter of a crowd, or the whoosh of wind, this intelligent tool helps you clean up your audio tracks, resulting in clearer, more professional-sounding videos. Users can selectively remove or adjust specific sounds, giving them greater control over the final audio output of their creations.
Seamless Image Creation with Drawing Assist
Unleash your inner artist with One UI 7's Drawing Assist, an AI-powered image generation tool. This feature makes creating fun and unique images easier than ever. Users can start with a simple sketch, add an existing image, or simply type a description of what they want to create. The AI then interprets this input and generates various image styles and compositions. Whether you're looking to create a custom graphic, a personalized avatar, or just explore your creative ideas, Drawing Assist provides a powerful yet intuitive platform for visual expression.
AI-Powered Webpage Reading and Summarization
Keeping up with information online can be overwhelming. One UI 7's Samsung Internet browser now incorporates an AI feature that can read aloud the most important fragments of articles and web pages. This is particularly useful for multitasking or for users who prefer auditory consumption of content. The AI intelligently identifies key sections, ensuring you get the gist of the content without having to read through everything. This feature aims to make information more accessible and digestible, especially when browsing on the go.
Contextual Suggestions with AI Select
One UI 7 enhances on-device intelligence with AI Select, a feature that provides useful, context-aware suggestions based on what you select on your screen. When you highlight text, an image, or any other content, AI Select analyzes it and offers relevant actions. For example, if you select an event description, it might suggest adding it to your calendar. If you select an image, it could offer quick editing tools or options to share. This proactive assistance streamlines workflows and makes interacting with content across different apps more intuitive and efficient.
Smarter Search within Settings
Navigating through complex settings menus to find a specific option can be time-consuming. One UI 7 introduces a smarter search functionality within the Settings app, powered by natural language understanding. Instead of needing to know the exact name of a setting, users can now type their query in plain language. The AI-driven search will understand the intent and provide more accurate and relevant results, even if the exact terminology isn't used. This makes customizing your device and finding the features you need quicker and more user-friendly.
Samsung's One UI 7, with its impressive suite of AI features, marks a significant step towards a more intelligent and assistive mobile experience. From enhancing communication and creativity to streamlining everyday tasks and information access, these AI capabilities are designed to make Galaxy devices more powerful and intuitive. As AI continues to evolve, users can anticipate even more sophisticated and personalized experiences in future iterations of One UI.
