Samsung One UI 7 vs OnePlus OxygenOS 15: Quick Settings
One UI 7 comes with lots of new features, including a new Control Panel, which replaces the old unified Quick Settings panel. On the other hand, you have the OnePlus OxygenOS 15 and we’ll be going to compare it with Samsung One UI 7 for the quick settings panel in this comparison.
With Android 15 adoption, both smartphone makers offer a fresh new look, embrace large toggles, and make it more comfortable for users to access UI elements with one hand. On OxygenOS 15 and One UI 7, the Quick Panel will show when you swipe down from the top right edge of any screen. Now, let’s begin our comparison of One UI 7 vs OxygenOS 15 quick settings panel.
One UI 7 vs OxygenOS 15 Quick Panel
For this comparison, we’ll go via the user interface and the feature that comes into both of the quick settings panels.
Let’s start with One UI 7, Quick Panel is divided into four different sections by default. The first row has large Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons. After this, you get a large expandable section that brings all the useful icons in a 2×4 layout up to 18.
The third section brings two sliders, a brightness slider with a dark mode toggle, as well as a volume slider with a sound settings toggle. The last and fourth row matches the first row in terms of size and layout but contains SmartThings and Smart View icons.
Also, if music is played on the smartphone, the media player will appear above the last section.
OxygenOS 15 Quick Panel:
OxygenOS 15 has its own charm and OnePlus has brought a new user interface to this software so that it looks attractive with every launch. Speaking of which, the Quick Panel of the OxygenOS 15 is divided into also four sections.
The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles persist at the top of the screen like HyperOS and One UI 7 and right below that, there are 2×2 media player, a 1×2 brightness slider with an Auto brightness toggle, as well as a volume slider with a sound settings toggle.
The last section brings a large expandable section that brings all the useful icons in a 4×4 layout.
Additionally, One UI 7 brings an Edit or Pencil button on the top right along with the Power and Settings icon, while OxygenOS 15 brings an Edit button to the bottom left.
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.
Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G are well-loved smartphones in the Galaxy S series that have now shifted from a monthly to a quarterly update plan. This means that Galaxy users of these Galaxy flagship devices will now receive software updates every three months instead of every month.
The Korean tech giant recently announced its revised update schedule for its Galaxy devices, with the February 2026 security patch, and the Galaxy S22 series has been placed in the quarterly update category.
The Galaxy S22 still performs very well, and with the latest Galaxy AI features recently added via the One UI 8 update, it remains up-to-date. Furthermore, it will receive One UI 8.5 later this year, which will likely be the final One UI upgrade for the S22.
How many more updates will the Galaxy S22 get?
If you need a reminder, your Galaxy S22 series is eligible for Samsung’s four-year Android upgrade policy and will get four major OS upgrades. These phones launched with Android 12 and One UI 4.1 and have already received Android 16, along with their respective One UI updates.
Coming to the topic, although the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G 5G will continue to function properly, the change in the quarterly update schedule means that users will not receive the latest features and security enhancements as quickly as before.
If you own a Galaxy S22 series phone and are considering an upgrade, you might want to check out newer Samsung models like the Galaxy S26 series. These devices will launch later this month with new features in One UI 8.1, ensuring you stay up to date with the latest technology.
