The fresh update is packed with features that are sure to enhance the user experience for Galaxy device owners.

One UI 7 support delivers some highly requested features that many Galaxy users have been dreaming of.

Features of One UI 7 Samsung Home Up

New Animations Settings:

Home Gestures Animation tuning

One of the most amazing additions in this update is the new animation tuning for home screen gestures. Users can now choose from three different animation styles:

• Pixel by Pixel – Enjoy the feeling of pure animation
• The Scent of a Certain Fruit – Feel the sweet taste of red fruit
• Simple Tuning – Pick between fast animations or more emotional ones.

Beyond these options, there is an option for Advanced tuning Settings that let you adjust specific aspects of the animations.

Advanced Tuning

With this feature, you can customize details like damping, stiffness, and friction for how icons move and scale. Users can also customize where icons track, and there’s an Interpolator option to tweak how the icon scale animations work. This means you can make the animations your own.

In addition to this, the Advanced tuning also includes options for scale, duration, and blur settings for the Home screen and Wallpaper.

Large Folder

Another noteworthy feature is the introduction of the large folder option. You can now choose between medium and large sizes for your app folders while keeping the size of existing large folders the same.

This gives you more control over how your home screen looks and helps you organize your apps better. You can also adjust the folder grid and change the icon sizes, adding to your personalization options.

Pop-Up Folder

The update also enhances the pop-up folder functionality. Users can now customize the size of pop-up folders with options for small, medium, and large. Additional settings allow for variable sizes, fixed positions, and even options to hide the edit bar and remove blur effects.

This next level of customization provides a cleaner, more organized interface while ensuring that users can access their favorite apps quickly.

Overall, the One UI 7 support for Samsung’s Home Up app offers a range of new features that many Galaxy users have been looking for. With fresh animation settings, flexible folder options, and improved pop-up folder features, this update enhances the way you interact with your device.

It’s important to note that these features aren’t available to all Galaxy users yet, but the company soon make them available for eligible devices.

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.
