New Samsung Digital Wallet app lets users store all cards, passes, vaccine card and more
Carrying a wallet with all your debit and credit cards is no longer fashionable. Okay, at least if you have a Galaxy smartphone that supports Samsung Pay. Thanks to Samsung, it makes it possible to store your cards and passes, vaccine cards and more with the new Samsung Digital Wallet application.
This latest application will be available on Galaxy devices such as the Galaxy S22 Family. The new Samsung Digital Wallet app can be used for credit and debit cards, student IDs, vaccine cards, digital keys for your car, home or office, and other cards that you can store digitally.
With this functionality, you can quickly flash passes and get checkouts and checkpoints quickly. Many states in the US have already banned the requirement for businesses and government agencies to show vaccine passports. So, storing them digitally will make you feel as good as carrying the physical card you received since you were vaccinated.

In fact, you may not need to show your vaccine card in the states here, at least in many other places. However, it is still a really useful app for anything. Think of being able to use a digital wallet to display a student ID. Switch to your debit card immediately after payment. Without removing any physical card.
The ability to use it for digital keys is even better. True, you must first contact someone who approves the digital key. Otherwise, it will become another feature that is not really useful to you. If you need a Galaxy S22 to use the app, this is the reason to consider the Galaxy S22.

Which Samsung device will be first to get One UI 7.0 update, Galaxy S25 or S24?
Samsung officially revealed a sneak peek at the upcoming One UI 7 software. The company confirmed final version will debut with the Galaxy S25 next year, while the Beta is probably coming to the S24 series by the end of this year.
Let’s discuss which Samsung device will be the first to get the One UI 7.0 update.
One UI 7 Beta is coming in 2024 while the Galaxy S25 will launch in 2025. This means the new One UI version will go live before the next Unpacked. However, the software may remain in the Beta phase till January Unpacked.
The Galaxy S24 series may be the first to get One UI 7, but not the final version. The Stable update is officially scheduled alongside the S25 launch. Hence, the next flagship lineup will be the first to come pre-loaded with the One UI 7.0 version.

Any Guesses | One UI 7 update will first land on which Samsung device ⁉#Samsung #OneUI7 #GalaxyAI #Android15

The Galaxy S24 could be the first to receive the One UI 7.0 OTA and the S25 might launch with it right out of the box. No matter which device gets the update first, One UI 7.0 is set to bring some exciting features.
Well, users don’t care much about first and last. Samsung has heavily delayed this year’s software distribution. Therefore, the first priority should be a faster and more seamless rollout of the Android 15 update whenever it begins.
Pushing the update to the Galaxy S24 series and sequential expansion won’t be welcomed. Samsung must ensure all the compatible Galaxy phones (at least flagship) would receive the update at the same time – the same as Apple and Google.
One UI 7 – Simple, Impactful and Emotive
Samsung’s upcoming software significantly enhances user experience with new features, improved customization, and better performance. Galaxy users also expect smoother animations and enhanced battery management.
The One UI 7 could debut more options for themes, icons, and widgets to customize your Galaxy. New camera modes and easily accessible settings for capturing high-quality photos and videos will also be included.

Samsung SmartThings gets a boost with Home Insight feature
Samsung has unveiled a new feature for its SmartThings platform called Home Insight at SDC24. This feature makes smart home management easier and more efficient by using artificial intelligence (AI).
Jaeyeon Jung, the Executive Vice President of SmartThings, explained that Home Insight is designed to understand how people live in their homes. It provides helpful home reports and personalized recommendations based on how you use your devices, your preferences, and even the time of year.
Samsung Home Insight makes it easier for people to manage their smart homes. For example, if you often forget to turn off the lights during the day, Home Insight can remind you to do so.
To make these features easy to access, Samsung introduced the Home Insight Widget, which will be available on the new Galaxy Tab S10. This means users can turn their tablets into a controller for managing various smart devices, all from one app.
It is expected that Samsung will soon expand the SmartThings Home Insight feature through a new update. Currently, you can access this feature in the Galaxy Tab S10 series.
Last month, Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S10 series. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra features a massive 14.6-inch panel, while the Tab S10 Plus sports a 12.4-inch screen. Both models have premium Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays and offer a vibrant yet natural viewing experience.

Samsung Camera in One UI 7: Bold revamp in Galaxy Camera incoming
Following the recent SDC24 event, many attendees and tipsters have shared videos showcasing the early build of Samsung’s One UI 7.0 on social media. These videos highlight amazing new features and improvements of One UI 7, especially in the Samsung Camera app.
One UI 7 aims to make the Samsung Camera interface more simple and easy to use. A recent video highlighted the revamped look of the app interface, which features in early builds.
In One UI 7, camera modes like Photos, Videos, Portraits, and more are now placed at the bottom of the screen. This makes it much easier to switch between different modes while taking photos or videos.
Moreover, it brings significant changes to the camera controls. One UI 7 has introduced a single button at the bottom of the camera interface. This replaces the Night Shot option that is currently available in the One UI 6.1.1 software.
Users will able to see Camera control options like Settings, Flash, Timer, Aspect Ratio, and Motion Photo at the lower middle of the screen. This change lets users navigate the app more quickly and with less clutter on the screen.
Additionally, for those who prefer using their phone with one hand, some options are still available in the top right corner of the camera layout.
Notably, Samsung made these changes to the camera interface in the early build of the next One UI software, aiming to provide a more intuitive and enjoyable camera experience.
Samsung is going to release the One UI 7 Beta at the end of this year for developers and will make the stable version available alongside the Galaxy S25 series in 2025.
