What's New
One UI 7.0 Upgrade (Android 15)
Bold new look
Visual enhancements
Enjoy a more sophisticated and unique look. One UI 7 introduces a stunning redesign to key components including buttons, menus, notifications and control bars, providing a more consistent visual experience with curves and circles. Beautiful new colors, soft animations, and an innovative blur effect that's unique to One UI make information hierarchy clearer and help you focus on important information.
Reimagined Home screen
Fresh new app icons will look great on your Home screen with new visual metaphors and color schemes that make it easier to recognize the app you need. Widgets have been completely redesigned with more colorful images and more consistent layouts. Folders on your Home screen can also be made larger so you can instantly access apps without opening the folder first.
Simplified Home screen grid
Your Home screen now looks even better than before. A new standard grid layout keeps things symmetrical and makes it easier to use One UI widgets in standard sizes.
Portrait/landscape Home screen customization
Keep your Home screen looking its best no matter how you're holding your tablet. You can customize your portrait and landscape Home screen layouts separately. The same apps and widgets will appear in both layouts, but you can move them around and resize them separately.
Customize your app and widget style
Make your Home screen look just the way you like it. You can now adjust the size of app icons and choose whether or not to show text labels below app icons and featured widgets. You can also adjust shape, background color, and transparency in the settings for each widget.
Auto hide taskbar
Save more screen space for your apps by automatically hiding the taskbar when you open an app. To make it come back, swipe up slowly from the bottom of the screen.
Lock screen
Stay on top of important tasks with the Now bar
Check the information you need right now and start essential features without unlocking your tablet. Ongoing tasks will appear in the Now bar at the bottom of your Lock screen so you can check key information quickly. Information includes media controls, Stopwatch, Timer, Voice Recorder, Samsung Health, and more.
Make your clock look just the way you like it
Discover a variety of new clock styles for your Lock screen. You can adjust the thickness of lines in the default clock style, or try one of the new animated clocks to match your tastes. You can also resize your clock to any size you like and drag it to your desired position on the Lock screen.
More widgets and shortcuts
You can now see more and do more even when your tablet is locked. Add a widget to show pictures and stories from your Gallery, or try a shortcut that opens the QR code scanner with a quick swipe.
Quick panel and notifications
Separate notification and quick panels
Instantly access the panel you need with more space for quick settings. Swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to open the quick settings panel. Swipe down from anywhere else on the top of the screen to open the notification panel.
Customize your quick panel
Create the quick panel layout that's right for you. You can tap the pencil icon at the top of the quick panel to enter Edit mode, then move buttons and controls up and down to match your preferences.
Live notifications
Stay on top of what's happening right now. Live notifications show you the progress of ongoing activities like timers, voice recordings, exercises, and more so you can take quick actions related to them. Live notifications will appear in the Now bar on the Lock screen, on the status bar, and at the top of the notification panel.
New notification layout
Icons on notifications are now the same as the icon that appears on your Home screen, making it easy to recognize which app sent each notification. Grouped notifications appear as a stack of cards. Tap a stack to show all notifications in the group.
Capture images with ease
New Camera layout
Camera buttons, controls, and modes have been reorganized to make it easier to find the features you need and to give you a clearer preview of the picture you're taking or the video you're recording.
Mode selection improvements
The More modes menu has been redesigned. Instead of filling the whole screen and blocking the camera view, you can now choose a mode from a small pop-up that only covers the bottom of the screen.
Line up the perfect shot
Get help adjusting the camera's position with grid lines and levels. Grid lines can now be turned on and off separately from the horizontal level. There's also a new option to show a vertical level.
Enjoy your special moments
