One UI 7 battery icon to show charge levels with dynamic colors
Since the release of the One UI 7 beta program, Samsung has continued to improve the battery icon. Now, the One UI 7 Beta 3 improved the battery icon charging animation by adding dynamic blue and cyan gradient colors. Now a report reveals that Samsung may update the battery pill-shaped icon overlay, which will show charge levels with dynamic colors.
Yesterday, a Galaxy S24 series user suggested on the community that the battery should appear red when low, green when fully charged, and yellow when at 50%. Meanwhile, a beta moderator on Samsung’s official community forums responded that the idea of visually indicating charge levels using dynamic colors for One UI 7 One UI 7 battery icon like red, yellow, and green for the battery pill is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
Moreover, the moderator appreciated the idea and said that this would surely make it easier for users to find the battery status at a glance. However, since battery level can be subjective, it could work like this:
- Red = Less Battery
- Yellow = Okay Battery
- Green = Full Battery
Furthermore, the moderator also mentioned that we will forward this suggestion to the development team for their consideration. This means that if it is found to be in line with Samsung’s design concept and goals, the One UI 7 team will consider releasing this feature with the public version of this update.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! The idea of using dynamic colors like red, yellow, and green for the battery pill to visually indicate charge levels is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. It would certainly make it easier for users to quickly gauge battery status at a glance. However, since the level of battery can be subjective (red = less battery, yellow = okay battery, green = full battery), we are monitoring these posts frequently to understand all users’ preference and our conceptual design.
We’ll pass this suggestion along to the development team for their consideration. Updates like these can make a big difference in usability and are always worth exploring. If you have other ideas on improving the user experience, feel free to share them—we love hearing from our community!
Best regards,
One UI Beta Team
Hence, it’s all a bit uncertain at the moment, but at least the suggestion has been accepted and hopefully, the feature will eventually make it to Samsung devices as well.
Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S25 series at the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event on January 22, and it will come with One UI 7 preinstalled. Other Samsung flagship devices like the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S23, and the latest Galaxy foldable will be the first devices to receive the official version in early February.
