 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that the official rollout of One UI 7 will start April 10¹ in Canada, bringing a bold new design for greater personalization and control to the user experience. One UI 7 introduces a new interface built for AI, helping users interact with their Galaxy devices more naturally than ever before. The update will be available starting with the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, gradually rolling out to more Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

Bold New Design for Greater Personalization

One UI 7 comes with a simple, impactful, and emotive design, bringing streamlined and cohesive experience to Galaxy users. A simplified home screen, redesigned One UI widgets and lock screen allow users to intuitively and seamlessly customize their devices.

For added convenience, Now Bar² provides real-time updates that matter most right on the lock screen. So during a morning run, users can easily check their progress and see what song is playing in your Galaxy Buds – all with a simple swipe, without unlocking their phone.

Smarter AI Features for More Intuitive Experience

One UI 7 introduces seamless AI-driven experiences that help users to stay productive and explore their creativity.

With Galaxy AI, users can simplify everyday tasks, minimizing the need to switch between applications. AI Select³ intuitively recommends by understanding context. For example, a user can simply swipe the Edge Panel and click the ‘AI Select’ icon when watching a video to save it as a GIF file. Writing Assist⁴ allows users to easily summarize or automatically format content in which text can be selected.

One UI 7 also enables simple edits to give users more creative control and freedom. Drawing Assist⁵ helps bring ideas to life with more than a single input, including combinations of text prompts and images or sketches. Audio Eraser⁶ makes advanced editing accessible for all, by isolating categories of sounds and removing unwanted noise in videos.

With deeper Google Gemini⁷ integration, controlling the device is as easy as speaking to a friend. Long-press the side button and say, “Find Italian, pet-friendly restaurants with outdoor seating nearby.” Gemini instantly pulls up recommendations in one seamless interaction.

Natural language search⁸ extends to Settings, making it easier to adjust preferences. Users can simply go into Settings and say “My eyes are feeling tired.” In an instant, recommended options such as adjusting brightness or turning on Eye comfort shield appear.

Availability

One UI 7 will begin rolling out on April 10, expanding to more Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the following weeks⁹, including the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S24 FE, the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5, the Galaxy Tab S10 series and the Galaxy Tab S9 series.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled Galaxy A36 the latest Galaxy A series smartphone. For the first time, the Galaxy A series is integrating Awesome Intelligence—including some of Galaxy’s fan-favorite AI-powered features to reimagine creativity — while bringing, as well as robust security to provide a secure mobile experience.

“The new Galaxy A series marks an important step in our mission of AI for all, by opening Galaxy’s incredible mobile AI experiences to even more people around the world,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics.

Awesome Intelligence for Advanced Search and Creativity

Awesome Intelligence is the first comprehensive mobile AI exclusively available on Galaxy A36 5G and brings users powerful, fun and easy-to-use AI tools. Powered by One UI 7, the new Awesome Intelligence features bring amazing search and visual experiences to Galaxy A series users.

A fan-favorite on Galaxy A series devices last year, Google’s enhanced Circle to Search[1], makes it easier than ever to search and discover from the phone’s screen. With the latest upgrades, the search feature is faster and more contextual, now recognizing phone numbers, email and URLs on the screen and helping users perform actions with a single tap. The update also introduces Song Search[2], which can identify music playing nearby, on the device, or even from a user’s own voice when they hum or sing. With support for multiple languages, Song Search makes it effortless to find a tune with users no longer needing to wait for that song title to finally come to them.

The Galaxy A series also takes the camera experience to a new level with creator-focused tools, starting with a powerful triple-camera system featuring a 50MP main lens on all devices and 10-bit HDR front lens recording on the Galaxy A36 5G for bright and crisp selfies.

Galaxy A36 5G bring fine-refined Object Eraser[3] , allowing users to remove unwanted distractions from photos. Whether it’s an unexpected passerby or a distracting shadow, users can manually or automatically select objects to erase, achieving a cleaner, more polished final image with just a few taps. Moreover, Filters[4] enables custom filter creation by extracting colors and styles from existing photos for users to apply for a unique and personalized effect depending on mood and taste. With these intelligent tools, users can refine and enhance their photos effortlessly, bringing a new level of creativity to every shot.

With a 5,000mAh battery included throughout the entire lineup, the new Galaxy A series is designed to keep up with users’ daily routines. Galaxy A36 5G support 45W charging power and Super Fast Charge 2.0 technology, delivering even faster charging[5] for extended use[6]. Galaxy A36 5G features the Snapdragon® 6 Gen 3 Mobile Platform. A larger vapor chamber in both devices helps sustain performance, ensuring smooth gameplay, video playback, and effortless multitasking.

Beyond performance, the new Galaxy A series is built to withstand life’s unpredictable moments. Galaxy A36 5G features an IP67 dust and water resistance rating for strong protection against the elements[7]. Additionally, an advanced Corning® Glass cover material adds a layer of protection against scratches and cracks.

Expanded Protections for Security

Thanks to the integration of One UI 7 on the Galaxy A series for the first time, Samsung is further supporting robust security. With Samsung Knox Vault, the Galaxy A series provides an extra, fortified layer of device security, transparency and user choice – ensuring sensitive data is protected. Equipped with the latest One UI 7 security and privacy features, Galaxy A series users benefit from holistic protection  — including enhancements in Auto Blocker, Theft Detection, More Security Settings and other features.[8]

Last month, Samsung launched the One UI 7 beta program, setting new standards for mobile AI. Anticipation for the program was higher than ever, with the first round of beta users registering at more than twice the rate of the One UI 6 beta.

One UI 7 seamlessly integrates multimodal capabilities into every touch point, simplifying complex tasks to make each user interaction feel more natural, intuitive and uniquely personal.

One UI 7 will be officially released with the upcoming Galaxy S series devices. Check out the quotes below to see what reviewers have to say about One UI 7 beta:

9to5Google

“Samsung has absolutely nailed it this year.”

BooredAtWork

“Galaxy devices are going to change forever with One UI 7, and I think a lot of people are going to be impressed with what they see.”

PhoneArena

“Well, it seems that One UI 7 is shaping up to be a smash-hit success.”

TA Tech Tips

“One UI 7 is going to turn your phone into an AI absolute powerhouse… Go check it out, it is absolutely awesome.”

TechRadar

“Samsung kicked off the Great Smartphone AI Craze of 2024 with its Galaxy AI feature suite in January, and the company has continued to improve its AI features with each new update to One UI.”

XeeTechCare

“I have to say Samsung is off to a fantastic start. I know there’s going to be a lot more AI-related features coming in as well. This is just the beginning.”

* Actual UX/UI may vary.

For more than a decade, people all over the world have consistently enhanced their productivity and creativity by turning to Galaxy smartphones. Chief among them, the Galaxy S Ultra series, which is built on a legacy of innovation from our Galaxy Note series has become synonymous with boundless creativity and is loved by countless Galaxy fans.

With its incredible power, expansive screen and iconic S Pen, Galaxy S Ultra is renowned for helping people seamlessly follow their inspirations or capture ideas anytime, anywhere – even without unlocking the phone and digging for a note-taking app.

Creativity Like Never Before

Last year, Samsung introduced Galaxy AI, ushering a new era of mobile experiences. This innovative technology helped the Galaxy S Ultra series evolve into an even more indispensable tool for maximizing creative freedom. And now, your creativity is about to reach new heights.

Sketch to Image[1], now integrated into Drawing assist, is now evolving. Utilizing more than a single input, like drawing with S Pen or your finger, it is becoming a multimodal experience. Now you can breathe life into your ideas by sketching them, writing out a description of the image you want with text, or using the voice command say what to draw. If you can envision it, Galaxy AI can help you create it.

Let’s say you want to really let your imagination run wild. You can draw a cat using S Pen and then, with multimodal Galaxy AI, you can type “space suit” to put your cat in a space suit and visualize them in outer space. Or maybe you’re thinking about your dream home. Using S Pen, you can make a quick drawing of the façade. But maybe you’re not sure where you want your dream home to be. Simply type some possible locations, like “by the beach” or “in the mountains” and Sketch to Image will help you see your future home in a new light.

From Note to Ultra and Beyond

This level of creative freedom is built on a legacy of innovation that began in 2011, when we introduced the Galaxy Note to redefine what was creatively possible on a smartphone. That power and spirit of innovation lives on through the Galaxy S Ultra series, and it continues to evolve with Galaxy AI.

With One UI 7, Samsung’s first integrated AI platform, your phone will become a true AI companion that understands natural language through text and speech, as well as images. It will be a new era of multimodal mobile AI that enables incredible creativity. But this is just a preview. Tune into Galaxy Unpacked on January 22 to see how the next Galaxy S series can truly unleash your creativity.

A few weeks ago, we launched the One UI 7 beta program. It marked the start of a new era for Samsung with our first AI-integrated operating system, a true AI platform designed to improve mobile experiences for users through unprecedented personalization.

Galaxy’s approach to AI personalization, from the launch of our first AI phone to our continuous innovation of on-device AI, is to not compromise on security. We know you want the benefits of mobile AI that truly understands you. You want a phone tailored to your lifestyle and that adds to what you can do while removing everyday barriers – all within a secure platform.

In anticipation of the next generation of Galaxy S series smartphones, we’re giving Galaxy users greater peace of mind alongside greater personalization. That’s why we’ve created the Personal Data Engine, a powerful privacy advancement that protects both on-device andcross-app personal data.

Personalized data is stored in a secure space, carefully safeguarded by an encryption key that’s managed by Knox Vault. That’s the same trusted platform used to secure the most sensitive information on your smartphone, such as your biometric data. And as an added layer of protection, post-quantum cryptography provides additional security for your data against rising quantum computing threats.

Actual UX/UI may vary.

We’re opening up more possibilities for mobile experiences tailored to your life, only with Galaxy.

One defining element of One UI 7 is Now Bar, which gives personalization a new meaning by seamlessly integrating your everyday actions and most-used apps into your lock screen. It’s where you’ll control your entertainment, time your next personal best workout, get directions to your next meeting, or start communicating in other languages.

Now Bar will also be an access point for comprehensive and insightful experiences on Galaxy. Now your phone won’t just ping you, it will power your lifestyle.

Imagine you’re packing for a trip from Seoul, Korea, to San Jose, California. While you get ready, your phone offers a prompt to create a folder of your essential apps for quicker access. So you don’t miss your flight, it lets you know when it’s time to leave for the airport. It even provides a curated travel playlist to set the mood for your long flight.

With a single swipe, you can access the weather forecast – no need to search or check various apps. Throughout your trip, your phone captures the magic of each moment, and as each day winds down, it helps you relive the highlights.

Morning and night, Galaxy AI will keep you both informed and inspired with actionable tips and recommendations[1] uniquely tailored to your life. Game-changing personalization with security you can trust. This is the next evolution of Galaxy AI.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the One UI 7 beta program,[1] opening an advance look at fortified, Samsung Galaxy-exclusive security measures. At every layer, the latest One UI protects personal data while providing all types of users with choice, transparency and integrated security settings — because in the era of AI, there is no privacy without holistic security.

Knox Matrix Unlocks Ultimate Transparency

Knox Matrix is Samsung’s vision for the future, enhancing protection through multi-layered, intelligent threat monitoring between connected Samsung devices. One UI 7 sets the foundation for the next frontier of security.

• Knox Matrix monitors devices through Trust Chain, a secure private blockchain — and the new Knox Matrix dashboard introduces an easier way to maintain transparent security across a connected device ecosystem. With One UI 7, it’s more intuitive than ever to check the security status of multiple Samsung smart devices, including Galaxy mobile devices, TVs and home appliances, at a glance. When all connected devices are up to date and no risks are detected, they will show as ‘green,’ or secure. Users can also see if a device is at risk, and the dashboard will prompt an actionable recommendation to mitigate the threat.
• A new recovery method for Enhanced Data Protection adds ease and convenience to the process of retrieving data stored on Samsung Cloud. Enhanced Data Protection keeps connected devices synchronized and secure, also ensuring that if access to a trusted device is lost, users have a backup plan to prevent the loss of their data. With One UI 7, users can now transfer recovered, private data to a new device by verifying the lock screen factor – whether pin, pattern or password – of their previous device.
• As part of Knox Matrix’s Credential Sync, Samsung has developed new ways to manage and secure identities and credentials for today’s hyperconnected world in the form of passkeys[2]. With One UI 7, users can now create and use passkeys to log into their Samsung Account. As digital authentication credentials, passkeys enable a faster, easier way to securely log in to apps, devices and websites — so users can safely sign into their TVs, AI Family Hub refrigerator and more, simply by using the fingerprint sensor on their smartphones.

Maximum Restrictions Boost User Control

Maximum Restrictions establishes a powerful line of defense against today’s cyber threats. One UI 7 further enhances user choice with new features designed to protect those who may need additional safeguards. Maximum Restrictions has been updated with added controls for network connections so users can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from boosted protection without losing access to key device functionalities. Thanks to the added controls, users have the choice to block 2G service and prevent data from being intercepted when connected to potentially unsafe networks. Users can also prevent unintended automatic reconnection to certain Wi-Fi networks[3] that may be less secure, ensuring data remains private while still having the option to connect manually if desired.

This update enhances Maximum Restrictions’ existing suite of protections for Samsung Messages and Samsung Gallery, which allows users to remove location data in shared photos, prevent automatic attachment downloads, and block hyperlinks, previews and shared albums.

More Security Settings Bring Added Device Protection

One UI 7 introduces even more ways users can adjust security settings to best suit the ways in which they use their device. Users can choose to block USB connections to prevent any other access through the USB port while the device is locked, except for battery charging.

To protect against malicious apps that come from sideloading, One UI 7’s new Safe Install system works alongside Auto Blocker to send a warning when a user attempts to download from an unauthorized source, alerting them of security risks and preventing unintentional sideloading on Galaxy devices worldwide[4].

Theft Protection Enhances Data Privacy

One UI 7 introduces new features available only on Galaxy devices to the Android suite of theft protection solutions, enhancing the safeguards in place to ensure personal data remains secure even when devices are lost or stolen. In addition to Theft Detection Lock,[5] Offline Device Lock and Remote Lock, Galaxy users can now leverage additional security measures in Identity Check, an opt-in feature designed for when a device’s PIN becomes compromised. If suspicious activity is detected, users can rest assured that these Galaxy-exclusive protections will kick in.

• When in an unfamiliar location, biometric authentication will be required to make any changes to important security settings that could put personal information at risk.
• As an added safeguard, a one-hour security delay will prevent unauthorized users from making any immediate changes to the device.

One UI 7 is the next step in Samsung’s commitment to privacy on AI, introducing advanced security features to ensure complete protection in the era of AI. The official One UI 7 release will commence with upcoming Galaxy S series devices, featuring additional AI capabilities including enhanced, hardware-dependent on-device AI functions, starting from the first quarter of 2025. In line with Samsung’s commitment to extend its OS upgrade policy, the update will gradually roll out to other Galaxy devices.

The One UI 7 beta program will be first available for Galaxy S24 series devices in Germany, India, Korea, Poland, the UK, and the US, from December 5. Galaxy S24 series users can apply to join the beta program via Samsung Members.

Enhanced AI Enables More Intuitive User Experiences  

One UI 7 brings powerful updates to Galaxy AI features[1] including advanced writing assist tools. Integrated into AI OS, they allow users to boost their productivity where texts can be selected, without needing to switch between applications. This capability expands on the powerful writing assist tools already available to Galaxy users, offering AI-powered options to summarize content, check spelling and grammar, and automatically format notes into bullet points.

Upgraded call features with One UI 7 push the boundaries of communication and connection through call transcripts, with support for 20 languages[2]. When call recording is enabled, recorded calls will automatically be transcribed for reference later on, eliminating the need to take notes manually while multi-tasking.

Bold New Design for Greater Personalization and Control  

One UI 7’s powerful AI features come with a significant new look, based on a new notification system that streamlines communication with easy access from the device’s lock screen. It includes Now Bar, which highlights relevant activities across various features like Interpreter, Music, Recording, Stopwatch and more. By offering instant access to important notifications, Now Bar reduces the need to constantly unlock the device and allows users to engage with key information effortlessly. Set to be supported on upcoming Galaxy S series devices, Now Bar will transform the lock screen experience, which will continue to evolve with more intelligent experiences in the future.

These feature upgrades are all anchored in a simple, impactful and emotive design. Together, these principles shape streamlined and cohesive experiences for Galaxy users. Defined by bold, iconic design choices, One UI 7 reduces visual clutter and fosters an inviting experience designed to resonate with users on a personal level and enable intuitive mobile experiences across AI features.

A simplified home screen, redesigned One UI widgets, and lock screen—among other features—work together to grant users granular control over every detail and make customization intuitive and seamless.

A redesigned camera UX allows more intuitive control over advanced settings. Camera buttons, controls, and modes have been reorganized to make it easier to find the features you need and to give you a clearer preview of the picture you’re taking or the video you’re recording.

For Pro and Pro video modes, the manual settings layout has also been simplified, making it easier to focus on the picture or video you’re shooting. A new zoom control is available when you’re recording in Pro video mode, allowing you to control the zoom speed for smooth transitions.

The official One UI 7 release will commence with upcoming Galaxy S series devices, featuring additional AI capabilities including enhanced on-device AI functions, starting from the first quarter of 2025. In line with Samsung’s commitment to extend its OS upgrade policy, the update will gradually roll out to other Galaxy devices.
