from Samsung A user interface 7 it’s still months away from its stable release. Making the wait a little more bearable, a hands-on video surfaced online last week offering some details about the update. Also us reported about what we saw in an early preview earlier this month. If that wasn’t enough to satiate your curiosity, a new hands-on video provides more information to go on.

Just like last week, YouTube channel Mobile Wala Bhai published a new hands-on video with One UI 7. The the first video it showed off the new pill-shaped battery indicator, updated app icons, charging indicator and camera interface. In this second video, we’ll see tweaks to the lock screen, quick panel and notification shade, and Task Changer.

Starting with the lock screen, the contact information between the two bottom shortcuts now appears in a pill-shaped enclosure. We also seem to be getting more customization options for the lock screen, giving quick access to the image gallery, lock screen widgets and new clock styles. Speaking of customizations, we also have a look at the home screen customizations. In the video, we can see that there are new widgets that have been added to the collection and the widgets have received a visual overhaul.

Moving on to the next part of the video, the quick panel and notification shade have been redesigned. Now, One UI will give you the option to separate the two or continue using the unified view. Unlike before, there is also a customization option that allows you to move any box in the Quick Panel.

Last but not least, we can see Task Changer in action. One of the first things you’ll notice is that the animations are smoother than before, providing a smoother user experience. Additionally, there is a shortcut to quickly close apps running in the background. And it looks like we’re getting some new app icons.

During its developer conference, Samsung revealed that One UI 7 will launch alongside the Galaxy S25 next year. However, the beta program is expected to begin sometime before the end of 2024.
