Samsung officially began the One UI 7 Beta Program for the Galaxy S24 series yesterday evening. There are tons of new features and changes to be explored but for your information, the latest One UI 7 beta comes with a lock screen blur system bug.

The first beta of Samsung One UI 7 ushers in the new era of the Samsung Lock screen with new widgets, Now Bar live activity, a customizable clock, an iOS-inspired media player, and more on your Galaxy phones. Although these new features are exemplary, the lock screen blur system bug needs to be fixed in the One UI 7 beta 2.

Recently, a well-known tipster @UniverseIce highlighted the Lock screen blur system bug in the Notifications by sharing a screenshot and noted that it is still a simple translucent effect, not an advanced frosted glass effect.

The notification that appears on the lock screen is an almost transparent overlay, as you see in the screenshot below. Just like the Home screen notification window, it is a white card that’s pill-shaped, but it doesn’t have the same proper blur.

Now, it appears that Samsung has overlooked optimizing the blur system for the lock screen notification element. Plus, you can see that the application on the notification has been entirely skipped and the white overlay looks different from the lock screen wallpaper. This is quite odd but should be fixed in the One UI 7 beta update.

There is no doubt that the One UI 7 makes signification changes to UI, from the Lock screen effects to the Galaxy AI features and a ton of new functionality. Along with this, Samsung has added new and enhanced privacy and security features.

Moreover, the One UI 7 update greatly refreshed most of Samsung’s stock app icons with a slightly newer design, featuring slightly darker colors with a gradient background.
