Samsung is busy preparing for the launch of the Galaxy S25 series and the rapid developments indicate that we might get a stable One UI 7 rollout by this month. A new input has also given some consensus on this interesting matter revealing that Galaxy smartphones will become true AI companions with One UI 7.
In the blog post, Samsung confirmed that with One UI 7, Samsung’s first integrated AI platform, Galaxy phones and tablets will become true AI companions that understand natural language through text, speech, and images.
Furthermore, Galaxy AI will set a new standard of multimodal model AI for unprecedented creativity.
Samsung has confirmed that it will hold a Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22, where the company will reveal the Galaxy S25 series and new One UI 7 AI tools that will help you unleash your creativity. Stay tuned for more information.
One UI 7 Sketch to Image
The One UI 7 Text to Image feature is now integrated into the Drawing Assistant, which works through Galaxy AI, which understands text, voice, and images to make the Galaxy S25 Ultra a true AI companion. With One UI 7, it uses more than one input, such as drawing with the S Pen or one’s finger, for a multimodal experience.
One UI 7 AI Camera
One UI 7 AI Camera lets Galaxy S25 users transform the night sky into visual masterpieces with voice commands, enhancing the capabilities of nightography. The new AI camera features will work on Post Zoom, Post Nightography, and Post Quick Share.
One UI 7 Now bar
