Previously, it was rumored that the first beta of One UI 7.0 would be released on July 29. However, it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer. However, a reputable tipster has posted the One UI 7.0 changelog.
More specifically, UniverseIce posted the One UI 7.0 changelog on Weibo. There are a lot of notable tweaks and additions. Here are the machine-translated screenshots:
There are some notable interface changes, such as the stock app icons, battery icon, charging animation, and refreshed Camera app interface and animations.
UniverseIce also confirmed that you can choose between merging the Notification shade and Quick Panel into one page or splitting them into two. This is good news since previous rumors suggested that Samsung would split the Notification shade and Quick Panel into two separate pages. I'm glad to know that users have a choice.
Other notable changes in One UI 7.0 include more widgets for the home and lock screens and the addition of a large app folder. The latter is a key feature that's been appearing on rival Android phones.
