Samsung OLED Display laptops are now verified for ‘Halo Free’ viewing

Samsung OLED Display

Recently, Samsung Display announced that its OLED displays for laptops have received ‘Halo Free’ certification from UL, the leading science expert for bright and sharp image quality.

According to the official report, the ‘halo’ effect from OLED displays is the result of a ‘light blurring,’ that occurs when the frame of the light frame appears white in a photo with sharp brightness. And the ‘Light intensity’ is prominent in LCD products as LCD displays can produce real blacks.

Rather, they rely on the background light to create an image and often use ‘local blur,’ a technology that divides the screen into zones and adjusts the background light in certain areas to produce a deeper dark color.

However, since light is controlled by location and not individual pixels, a ‘light leak’ can occur, in which background light emits areas where both bright and dark colors are visible. This causes the blurry areas to form a blurry image, creating something called a ‘halo’, creating bright subtitles.

According to Samsung Display’s internal test‘ with a degree of illumination (halation), ‘its bright OLED display showed 0.00% halation and no light intensity indicator, LCDs with ‘local dimming’ display the intensity of the light that is visible during the test.

When the focus group was tested on the content of OLED display screens, no dim light was detected by Samsung Display, even when measured from both 45 angles and 60 angles.

On the other hand, in the case of LCD displays, the brightness of the light increased three to eight times from a wider viewing angle compared to direct viewing.

One UI 7 vs One UI 6: What’s changed in Quick Settings panel

Samsung One UI 7 Vs One UI 6 Quick Settings

At SDC24, Samsung displayed some of the upcoming One UI 7 changes including the new Quick Settings. The company is adopting squircle components across the interface. The new panel is crafted for user convenience while keeping an intuitive design.

The below-displayed Quick Settings could be featured in One UI 7. The changes are almost confirmed, but the final version could differ slightly. Tipster IceUniverse recently revealed the S25 Ultra mockup with One UI 7 interface.

One UI 7 vs One UI 6 – Quick Settings

One UI 7 could bring updated Network and Battery indicator components. The new software could display the battery percentage inside the icon itself. In One UI 6, the percentage comes outside the vertical battery icon.

WiFi and Bluetooth tiles will be featured in the first row of Quick Settings. The refreshed design increased the corner curvature, matching the squircle appearance. One UI 6.1 panel has square tiles with slightly curved corners.

The next layout consists of key settings in a 4×2 arrangement, which can be expanded further. The layout separates itself from the blurred background through solid BG with transparency. The labels of toggles don’t appear, cleaning the look further.

One UI 6’s layout consists of 12 toggles, expandable with pagination. The layout is a fixed format that doesn’t adjust to vacate place for other functions. In the left image, you can see the Music Player widget between two layouts.

One UI 6 added key display settings in a separate layout consisting of Brightness Slider as well as Eye comfort shield and Dark mode switches. Next to this layout, you get two big tiles of Smart View and Device Control.

One UI 7 splitted the display layout into two different layouts. The first features a brightness slider alongside the Eye comfort shield and Dark mode. The latter menu included a volume adjustment bar and toggles to adjust sound settings.

Samsung confirmed One UI 7 Beta will launch by the end of this year. The Public version will debut with the Galaxy S25 series next year. We expect the Stable rollout for Galaxy devices could start in early February.

Samsung One UI 7 Galaxy AI features wishlist

Published

on

One UI for all

Samsung One UI 7 is set to introduce new AI features for Galaxy phones. After the initial Galaxy AI arrival, Apple debuted Apple Intelligence with iOS 18. Samsung has also introduced new AI features with One UI 6.1.1 software to counter Apple’s entry.

Samsung One UI 7 Galaxy AI features wishlist

Galaxy AI brings both on-device AI and cloud-processing-based features. The latest frontier of Galaxy AI debuted on July 10 with the Galaxy Z6 series. Nevertheless, we are excited about more new and useful AI features with the 2025 iteration.

Enhanced on-device and cloud AI

The Galaxy S24 and Z6 series are powered by the Gemini Nano AI model. Google is working on Gemini Nano v2, which will have more AI capabilities, power efficiency, and reliability. Smartphones equipped with this new AI model would benefit.

With on-device AI features, consumers don’t need to worry about privacy. At the same time, consumers get quite useful image and video editing tools as well as wallpaper generators through cloud-based AI.

OS-level writing tools

One UI 7 should follow Apple’s edge of system-wide writing tools. Galaxy’s next major Galaxy AI upgrade should bring features like rewrite, proofread, and summarize. Upgraded writing assistance will surely help Galaxy users in their everyday tasks.

AI notifications

Notifications are the most important aspect of our phones. Whether it’s a phone call, text message, or social media interaction, the notification is the key to all. Due to multiple apps and services, users often face a condition where arrangement becomes a tough task.

Apple Intelligence managed to address the problem with the Priority Notifications. AI learns the usage patterns and importance plus priority of notifications. Based on deep analysis, the OS displays priority notifications on top followed by others.

Image and video enhancement

One UI 6.1’s Photo Editor added many useful tools for pro-editing in less time. Many third-party AI-powered photo editing apps are loaded with cool features. Samsung should adopt such tools to offer an effortless editing experience on Galaxy devices.

Smart Circle to Search

Circle to Search is a great feature that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung and Google expanded it to their flagship devices. Besides, Google is working to fulfill its commitment to installing Circle to Search on 200 million devices worldwide.

This functionality should be further optimized with system functions. The addition of the translate button is worth praising and we need Circle to Search to evolve further. Apple’s iPhones have no similar or equivalent feature to Circle to Search.
