Samsung cleans up Notification Settings UI in One UI 8, drops unused One UI 7 elements

Samsung’s One UI 8 update is likely to debut redesigned Lock Screen Notification Settings. The company has recently uploaded a new One UI 8 build on its software server, adding UI tweaks for internal testing units.

Leaked screenshots from the One UI 8 build showcase that Samsung has overhauled Lock Screen Notification Settings. The redesigned interface reflects on on two menues: Notification pop-up style and Lock screen notifications.

The new software has integrated a dedicated page for the “Hide content while locked” function. This section has two options: “Show always” and “Hide when locked.” The feature description and layout are aimed at maximum clarity of the page.

One UI 8 also eliminates the unnecessarily existing Dot and Icons notification style for the lock screen. Since the One UI 7 only supports the Cards layout, the next version focuses on offering what’s useful to users by the system.

Samsung has also revamped the Notification pop-up style in One UI 8. The visual illustration has slipped a bit to vacate space for a brief description. Picking up a pop-up style will let you know what changes will come into effect briefly.

The app selection tab is missing on the page for the notification pop-up style. Edge lighting style turned into Add lighting effect, and the Color by keyword tab has been renamed to Lighting effect color by keyword.

These minor tweaks suggest that Samsung is refining the software entirely. From the settings UI to feature terms, everything is getting improved. These changes will help Galaxy users even more effortlessly enjoy their devices.

Samsung is expected to launch One UI 8 Beta soon, with a Stable release likely in July this year.

Samsung is working on a new iteration, One UI 8, and it’s expected to bring some exciting changes for Galaxy phone users. One UI 8 is expected to introduce new Dynamic Wallpapers in the Colours section for Galaxy devices. The company is going to add to dynamic touch to the wallpaper section.

A new video from a reliable source shows that One UI 8 will have two different designs of dynamic wallpapers. Each type comes with four different color options.

Notably, the colors of these wallpapers will change smoothly depending on the time of day. This means your wallpaper will look different as the day goes on, adding a fresh feel to your phone.

With One UI 8, you will be able to use these dynamic wallpapers on both the home screen and lock screen. Currently, with One UI 7, you can only use them on the lock screen, but the new update will let you enjoy them on the home screen too.

Users will be able to find the new dynamic wallpapers in One UI 8 by going to Settings >> Wallpaper and Style >> Change Wallpaper >> Colors >> Dynamic Wallpapers. The dynamic wallpapers are easy to spot in the wallpaper section, so you won’t have issues finding them.

Reports claim that One UI 8 will not be a major update like One UI 7, but it will make your phone experience smoother and more fun to use. Samsung is focusing on improving the features we already have rather than adding too many new ones in the next iteration.

Samsung might start the One UI 8 Beta Program for Galaxy devices around late May or early June 2025. This program lets Galaxy users try new features ahead of an official release. Stay tuned for more details.

Samsung smartphone battery not charging

Samsung could start the One UI 8 Beta Program for Galaxy devices in late May 2025 or early June 2025. Ahead of the rollout, several leaks have surfaced, revealing what’s new in the next iteration of Samsung’s software. According to recent information, Samsung’s Battery Protection features are set to become more user-friendly and detailed in One UI 8.

In One UI 7, the Battery Protection feature offers three options — Basic, Adaptive, and Maximum. However, according to a reliable tipster, One UI 8 simplifies this layout for better clarity.

With One UI 8, Samsung is reportedly simplifying this feature. Instead of three modes, there will now be two main options – Basic and Maximum. This new layout makes it easier to understand and use.

The Basic option will work the same as before. Your phone will stop charging once it hits 100%, and will only start again when the battery drops to 95%.

The Maximum option now gives users more control. Instead of being fixed at 80%, you can now choose your own charging limit. The lower the limit, the better it is for your battery’s long lifespan.

In One UI 7, Adaptive mode includes in mode option that tries to charge your phone fully right before you wake up, based on your sleep habits. It automatically switches between Basic and Maximum.

In One UI 8, Adaptive mode will no longer be included with the other two options. It is now a toggle that works with the other settings. When turned on, your phone will stop charging at 80% while asleep and finish charging before you wake up. This gives users more flexibility and control.

With these changes, Samsung is aiming to make the Battery Protection feature easier to use and more helpful. The new layout will be cleaner, and users will have more control over how their phones charge.

This information is not officially confirmed by Samsung, so we can take it with a pinch of salt. Stay tuned for more information.

One UI 7.0 has new power saving limits for Samsung phones

Published

Galaxy S25 Ultra Battery

Samsung smartphones come with a power-saving mode, while you may find this feature common in all smartphones across the globe, the One UI 7.0 has made it more customizable.

Android and iOS devices have a power-saving mode for a while, but you may only get the option to enable or disable this feature. By default, smartphones limit background processes such as network usage, synchronization, location, as well as reverting the high refresh rate to 60 Hz, and you may not be allowed to customize the power saving mode.

However, Samsung devices give you more control over this capability thanks to additional limits. You can enable this power saver from the quick settings panel or battery settings. Below, you can check additional power-saving settings from One UI 6.x:

  • Turn off Always on Display
  • Limit CPU speed to 70%
  • Decrease brightness by 10%
  • Turn off 5G
  • Limit apps and the Home screen

You can control these options with the toggle button in front.

Moving on, One UI 7.0 device users will now see three additional power saving limits, including:

  • Set motion smoothness to standard
  • Turn on Dark mode
  • Set screen timeout to 30 seconds

Check the screenshot below for more comparison.

One UI 7.0 Power Saving feature

The refresh rate was used to be disabled automatically during power saving mode, but you can now choose its limitations. Similarly, Dark mode and screen timeout also help to preserve power.

If you want to go for max power efficiency, enable “Limit apps and Home screen”. It only allows selected apps, limits all background activity, turns off Edge panels, and enables Dark mode.

In case you would rather not use any of these additional power-saving perks, use the toggle button to with the system’s default power usage limits. When you disable the high refresh rate option, the 70% CPU limit will also fall automatically. Try additional power-saving limits by going into Settings > Battery > Power saving.
