Samsung One UI 7 to elevate animation, system fluency: Source
Animation improvement has become the key demand of Samsung consumers. One UI 7 is said to elevate animation and system fluency. The company reportedly plans to bring new features to Galaxy devices with One UI 7.1.
Tipster UniverseIce reports that Samsung focused on animation and system fluency in One UI 7. Galaxy flagships are equipped with pro-grade processors, requiring Apple iOS-like smooth and reliable animation alongside system fluency.
The source specifically mentioned “elegant animation,” hinting at reliable experience. The One UI staff is working hard to fix bugs and issues in the Beta. The beta program for the Galaxy S24 series will arrive as soon as internal testing finishes.
Ice often criticizes Samsung for Galaxy animations and system fluency. The company adopted non-linear animation last year, with further refinements likely in One UI 7. Amid heavy animation improvement demand, new feature requests fed away.
Over the past 18 months, Chinese OEMs made rapid progress in their Android skins. Huawei is on a mission to completely ditch Android from its devices. Given such fierce competition, demand for Apple-like animation and features significantly rose.
There are still security and privacy concerns that are being overlooked. Samsung is trying to make its Galaxy devices outperform iPhones in software features. Galaxies are already ahead of Apple in terms of hardware components.
The first Beta is expected to be available this month. You may not be amazed by the first Beta itself, therefore, we advise you to keep patience. Installing the second or third Beta will let you enjoy uninterrupted experiences on your Galaxy.
Apart from this, Samsung is preparing to bring Galaxy AI to mid-range phones. A recent report claimed that the company will release select AI features to the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 smartphones, as part of One UI 6.1.1 expansion.
Samsung started mass production of 1TB QLC 9th-gen V-NAND semiconductor to gain an edge in the AI era. This achievement suggests Samsung is solidifying its leadership in the high-capacity, high-performance NAND flash market.
As the enterprise SSD market shows rapid growth with stronger demand for AI applications, Samsung will continue to solidify its leadership in the segment through our QLC and TLC 9th-gen V-NAND.
The South Korean tech giant plans to expand applications of the QLC 9th-generation V-NAND, starting with branded consumer products and extending into mobile Universal Flash Storage (UFS), PCs and server SSDs for customers.
Samsung’s QLC 9th-gen V-NAND brings several innovations. The area of the cells and the peripheral circuits have been optimized via TLC 9th-gen V-NAND. Adopting Designed Mold has improved data retention performance by nearly 20%.
In addition, the company’s QLC 9th-gen V-NAND has doubled write performance and improved data input/output speed by 60%. Data read and write power consumption decreased by about 30% and 50% respectively.
Summary:
The latest QLC V-NAND combines several breakthrough technologies, including Channel Hole Etching which enables the highest layer count in the industry with a double stack structure. Industry-first QLC and TLC 9th-gen V-NAND delivers optimum memory across various AI applications.
Galaxy A16 would be the most selling Samsung phone in 2025. It’s anticipated to lead the Android smartphone market throughout the next year. Ahead of the December debut, the Galaxy A16 design was revealed in leaked renders.
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy A16 in December this year. As revealed in renders, the device will have three rear cameras, a key island, and an Infinity-U display. The phone continues to flaunt Samsung’s signature design language.
Interestingly, the phone’s left side holds the SIM card slot. At the same time, the right side carries volume buttons and a power key that doubles as a fingerprint scanner. The bezles look fine-tuned while the chin is extremely thick.
The Galaxy A16 could be available in two different chips – Dimensity 6300 (SM-A166P) and Exynos 1330 (SM-A166E) – probably following market needs. It will be powered by a 5000mAh battery, supporting 25W wired charging.
Samsung has recently launched the Galaxy A06 smartphone. Chinese phone makers harmed Samsung’s market in key countries. However, the company is now aggressively targeting the entry-level and mid-range market.
We are seeing fruitful upgrades in newly released and upcoming entry-level handsets. The decision aligns with a long-term strategy to maintain an edge across segments. That said Galaxy A16 is all set to lead the Android smartphone market next year.
Apart from hardware, the Korean tech giant is also improving the One UI. Software experience remains a controversial point in Samsung’s non-flagship phones. However, the One UI Core is getting improved with time – following user feedback.
Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra users in South Korea have recently received a major One UI 6.1 (based on One UI 6.1.1) update. Though the exact dates are not clear, One UI 6.1.1 update for the Galaxy S23 series will soon be available in more countries.
