Samsung considers polishing the One UI 7 new Notification and Quick Panel
Samsung has substantially redesigned the notification and quick panel in One UI 7. The new design comes with rich customization features, including two different styles for this section – Separate and Together, which add extra convenience for Galaxy users. However, it appears like Samsung is still open to making more changes to the One UI 7 Notification and Quick Panel with future beta versions based on user feedback.
Recently, Samsung has responded positively to requests to further improve the Notification and Quick panel access design with One UI 7.
A Galaxy S24 user on the Samsung US community suggests refining the notifications and quick access design and highlights the Notifications Button Design, Arrow Icon in the Bottom Gutter, and Date and Time in Quick Access.
If One UI 7 new Notifications and Quick Panel are re-polished, it could make the interface look cleaner and visually align with the rest of the design elements and provide users with useful information at a glance, as well as improve usability, especially for new users.
Accepting the proposal for the feature, Samsung highlighted its possible benefits through a community moderator. The moderator said:
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and suggestions on the notification and quick access design. It’s great to see how much you’re enjoying the new approach and also thinking critically about ways to refine it further. Let us address your points:
1. Notifications Button Design:
Your suggestion to replace the long pill-shaped button with a smaller, more concise icon is a great idea. It could make the interface cleaner and visually aligned with the rest of the design elements.
2. Arrow Icon in the Bottom Gutter:
Adding an arrow icon to guide users toward the quick access panel is an excellent idea for reducing the learning curve. It’s a simple addition that could improve usability, especially for new users.
3. Date and Time in Quick Access:
Including the date and time at the top of the quick access screen would enhance consistency between the two panels and provide users with helpful information at a glance.It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying the overall design and offering actionable feedback for further polish. We’ll make sure your suggestions are shared with the development team.
Regards,
One UI Beta Team
