How Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 delivers stylish smartwatch built for true self-expression?
Today’s modern lifestyle choices, no matter how diverse, have one thing in common – self-expression. What we wear, the lifestyle we live in – even the smart equipment we buy is so important to highlight and reflect our personality.
Along with the changing trend, smartwatches have become a part of self-expression, due to their nature as more than just a service tool. The same is true for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.
The perfectly round shape of the Galaxy Watch 4 gives it a remarkable identity, and the wide selection of belts caters to the needs of all types of personalities and preferences. With a clear identity and unique expression, the Galaxy Watch 4 is truly designed for the modern user.

One Core Element
The circle is the basis of the Samsung Galaxy Watch. Simple and elegant like most traditional watches, the circle has been a feature of the core design worn in the Galaxy Watch series since its inception.
The designers at Samsung have worked hard to create this versatile design with all the basic features of a traditional watch, avoiding complicated or disruptive elements to enhance a truly unique product.
By eliminating unnecessary decorative features and focusing on the actual material of the device, the designers of the Galaxy Watch have been able to create a timeless watch that is the perfect handmade accessory for anyone.
A Single Identity
The Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic both share the same design language, reflecting similar identities. Following the theme of the circle, a continuous line from the screen to the body frame and belt is applied to both models based on the concept of the circle.
Samsung designers didn’t follow different design ideas like ‘minimalism’ or ‘classic’ as before, but they sharpened the concept of circles to create a really bright and unique design. Due to the excellent image quality of the Galaxy Watch, the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic both have the same detection feature.
Detailed Design – Your Style, Your Way
Smartwatches are a great way to show personal style and elegance, a way to express yourself as beautiful and powerful as it is a device controlled by the user everywhere. Galaxy Watch 4 users can select and combine body and belt as they wish to create a unique personalized smartwatch. The Galaxy Watch 4 series is designed in such a way that users can present themselves completely like their mobile case.
Gift for Yourself
The core concept of respecting each user’s individuality is embedded in every aspect of the Galaxy Watch 4 experience. More than just a smartwatch, Galaxy Watch 4 is truly a gift for you that reflects the personality of the user.
Truly beautiful designs retain their value for a long time and provide a superior user experience reflecting the trends and preferences of the users. In creating the design of the Galaxy Watch 4, Samsung’s designers focused on product content and inculcating the performance values that matter most to today’s users.

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 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.
