Key Features of One UI 7
The One UI 7 update emphasizes the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the user experience. A major highlight is the Now Bar, which takes the form of a pill-shaped bar at the bottom of the screen, displaying multiple cards. This feature provides a variety of information right on the lock screen, including music currently playing, flight schedules, Google Maps directions, delivery updates, and sports scores. An additional feature, Now Brief, expands on the Now Bar by offering users a comprehensive overview of their day, featuring weather updates, reminders, calendar events, and health data.
Samsung has also enhanced its Galaxy AI capabilities with many new functionalities. AI Select allows users to specify a particular area of the screen to focus on. Other features, such as Writing Assist and Drawing Assist, facilitate text summarization, formatting, and the creation of images from basic sketches or text prompts.
Furthermore, the update includes Gemini integration, enabling users to inquire about content displayed on their screens. This function can perform cross-application tasks, such as locating a dog-friendly Italian restaurant and sharing the details with a friend.
