One UI 7 Lock screen Notification
One UI 7 beta program is officially announced by Samsung and it comes with various new features. These are designed to provide a new user experience for Galaxy phones and tablet owners and improvise the entire One UI smartphone user experience. But do you know that One UI 7 also carries a Lock screen Notification customization? Today we’re up to see what changes the company made to the Lock screen Notification section in the latest upgrade.
One UI 7 Lock screen Notification
One UI 7 allows Galaxy users you manage their alerts with three different options right from the Lock screen with your device’s notification settings. These options include: Dot, Icons, and Cards. You can pick whichever one fits your style best.
Additionally, when you select the icon or dot, you can tap on the notification icon or dot at the top left on the lock screen to expand the card notifications. But if you’re not a fanatic of the change, just choose Card View. Also, luckily, you can hide notification details on the lock screen.
Last but not least, you can now choose to show only “warning” notifications and keep silent notifications invisible.
One UI 7: How to change lock screen notification style
From your device’s Settings, swipe to Notifications and then tap Lock screen notifications. Tap the switch at the top to turn on lock screen notifications. From here, you can customize the available settings to your preference:
- Here you can choose between three different styles: Dot, Icons, and Cards!
- Show content or Hide content: Choose the options you want for your notifications. If you select Show content, you can choose which apps show lock screen notifications by tapping the Settings icon to the right.
- Show alerting notifications only: If this feature is enabled, silent notifications will not appear on the lock screen.
Additionally, Samsung has made significant changes to the notification panel with One UI 7, making it easier to manage your notifications and quick settings. The notification card now comes with a more modern look and rounded edges along with a nice blur engine. These notifications look more polished and visually appealing than the previous UI.
Samsung is working on the One UI 8.5 based on Android 16 QPR2 on the Galaxy S25 series. The One UI 8.5 is Samsung’s latest version of Android customisation for Galaxy smartphones. Now, the reportred tha Samsung may offers more refined UI design for the upcoming One UI 9, which is based on Android 17.
With One UI 8.5, Samsung has replaced the rectangular bottom bar with the rectangular tabs found in One UI 8.
According to @tarunvats33, One UI 9 will further enhance the pill-shaped design across all apps. Therefore, Samsung fans are hoping the company will add frosted glass and smoother animations in the upcoming update.
A tipster shared images of Quick Share from One UI 9.0 on their X handle. As you can see in the images below:
It has a more compact floating pill-shaped bottom bar compared to One UI 8.5, and the tabs also look more rounded.
We expect One UI 9 to officially launch around July 2026, probably alongside the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8. On the other hand, Samsung hasn’t yet confirmed when One UI 9 will arrive, so keep an eye on the Samsung Members app for the official roadmap later this spring.
This update will be based on the Android 17 operating system. The foldable devices will be the first to launch with the latest OS pre-installed.
Samsung is gearing up to launch its next flagship S series smartphones, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, and now we have the latest “possible” look via unofficial leaked renders, showing the phones in black from different angles.
Certain tipsters have suggested the design of the new Galaxy S26 series way before its launch. Some said that it could bring a vertical pill shape bump in the base layer, encompassing three rings on the back, just like its predecessor, while others are now hinting at a box-like imaging system.
Amid this confusion, alleged renders of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra are emerging from YTECHB, showing what the devices could actually look like. It may adopt stunning dynamic shades this time: Black, showing the device from all angles.
Looking at the renders in detail, the biggest design change is the rear camera on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Instead of the old separate rings, it now features a single camera island inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold 7, giving the back a clean, modern look.
With the launch approaching on February 25th, official renders of the Galaxy S26 series have leaked, and we expect more interesting leaks to emerge soon. Samsung has also started taking pre-reservations for it in many countries, including the US and India.
Here’s how it looks.
Samsung is preparing to launch its new Galaxy S series phones, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, later this month. We’ve already seen numerous leaks and rumors about these devices, detailing their specifications and indicating that the launch is imminent. Now, a reliable industry insider has provided new information about 4 design changes coming to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Leaker “IceUniverse” has shared new information about four design changes for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to the leak, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have slightly more rounded corners, giving it a softer overall look.
Regarding the second change, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has a slightly larger front camera cutout. This is due to the front camera’s wider field of view, which should allow more people to fit into group selfies.
Furthermore, there is no difference in the bezel width between the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Fourth, and most importantly, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has a slightly larger display. It measures 6.89 inches, compared to the 6.86-inch display of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Recently, disappointing news for fans has emerged from an online listing. It appears that Samsung has not included Qi2 magnets in the device. Users will need to purchase compatible accessories to utilize Qi2 charging.
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series will be officially launched on February 25th. The event will take place in San Francisco, and an official livestream will be available for fans. More details will be revealed as the launch date approaches. Stay tuned.
