Samsung has reportedly updated many icons in One UI 7 and added powerful widgets. The company teased the internal build of the upcoming software. The development is still in progress, and design modifications are underway.

IceUniverse revealed Samsung changed many icons and added new widgets in One UI 7. The software is “still in the development stage,” the source mentioned. The revelation aligns with Samsung’s announcement for further refinements.

Samsung will launch the Beta Program by the end of this year. We are expecting a brief One UI 7 Beta Program, covering limited models. Recently, the US community moderator confirmed that the Beta Program will launch for the Public as well.

The source highlighted that the Gallery app’s icon has been changed again. It looks like Samsung has also altered the in-app competent icons of Gallery. More native app icons are reportedly revamped as we await the Beta to kickstart.

In addition, the One UI 7 has added new widgets for Galaxy devices. Ice suggests the addition of “some incomparably rich widgets.” These widgets may offer powerful features that are not available in any other rival OS.

As I said before, One UI 7 is still in the development stage, the latest version is very smooth, and many icons have been changed, and the gallery icons have been changed again.😁
And added some incomparably rich widget, more than any other OS.

Samsung’s Android 15 has been in the headlines for a quite long time. The software is awaited by millions of Galaxy fans worldwide. The company is delaying the release to offer a bug-free experience to Galaxy devices.

The final version of One UI 7 will be announced with the Galaxy S25 series next year. Due to this major change, One UI 7.1’s existence is in question. It’s uncertain whether the .1 version of One UI 7 will ship with new Galaxy S phones next year.

Will One UI 7.1 launch or be skipped after Samsung’s One UI 7 confirmation with Galaxy S25?

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could introduce an innovative Slim design. The company is considering a slimmer design for the next Fan Edition. It could be made possible by expanding the battery size to prevent any drop in capacity.

South Korea’s TheElec reports that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could feature a Slim design. The smartphone is expected to get a 6.7-inch display. The battery capacity could also be the same as the S24 FE, which is 4700mAh.

Reducing smartphone thickness is a pretty difficult task for manufacturers. A small change or micrometer difference requires a lot of engineering work. Well, Samsung seemingly found a way to make its future Galaxies slimmer.

The Galaxy S25 FE could get a slimmer and larger battery in size. The capacity could remain intact, and a reduction in the battery’s thickness will help Samsung achieve the goal of reducing the phone’s thickness to make it slimmer.

Samsung has recently released the Galaxy S24 FE. The new variant comes with pretty much upgrades over its predecessor. It has a larger display, bigger battery, and upgraded display – but with a price increase of $50.

Now, the company is unlikely to modify these aspects in the next model. The focus could be on further refining the overall design. The camera department could see an upgrade with the inclusion of a next-gen Telephoto sensor.

The Galaxy S25 series is expected to be announced early next year. The S25 FE is approx a year away from now as we got the S24 FE released last month. We will get to know even more about the upcoming products in the future.

Samsung has high ambitions with the Galaxy S25 series, targeting 22 million units by June 2025. A report suggests that parts of the upcoming models have entered mass production. The lineup is set to be announced early next year.

According to TheElec, Samsung is targeting 22 million units for the Galaxy S25 series by June 2025. The information coming from a major component partner, which reportedly received a production plan forecast from Samsung.

In particular, the S25 series’ production forecast is around 6 million Standard units, 4 million Plus units, and over 11 million Ultra units, summing up 22 million units. The S25 Ultra model will account for half of the production volume.

The report also reveals that the project name for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series is “Paradigm.”  The term Paradigm often represents a standard, which shapes the way people think about or approach a particular topic or issue.

Galaxy S25 Series Specs (Expected)

Samsung’s next flagship lineup will have three models: a 6.2″ vanilla, a 6.7″ Plus, and a 6.9″ Ultra. While Standard and Plus are the same in size, the S25 Ultra’s screen could go slightly larger, up from 6.8″ of the S24 Ultra.

The company will be using Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship SoC. There are also rumors of MediaTek Dimensity 9400 use in the Standard model. However, things will be cleared sequentially as we approach the tentative January release.

Samsung is also exploring new designs for the S25 series. A major overhaul isn’t likely but the frame and rear sides going iPhone-inspired. The S25 Ultra could be Samsung’s sleekest and nice-looking Ultra flagship in recent years.
