One UI 7: Samsung's new control centre resembles... iPhone and iOS 18

October 9, 2024

Samsung will soon unveil One UI 7, the new version of its software for Galaxy smartphones, with significant changes in design and functionality.

One of the most notable new features is the new "Command Center", which seems to have drawn inspiration from the iOS Control Center, especially from iOS 18.

The new Command Center in One UI 7 will offer quick access to various settings and functions, such as managing connections (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), adjusting volume and screen brightness, and will also feature additional switches for managing SmartThings and other smart devices in the Samsung ecosystem. This design is intended to provide a smoother and more unified user experience.

The similarity with the Control Center of iOS 18 lies both in appearance and ease of use, with cleaner and more minimalist icons, as well as the ability to customize the layout of the switches, which is very close to the experience offered by Apple.

However, Samsung continues to maintain its own identity, adding features and capabilities that are more suited to its device ecosystem.

Ultimately, One UI 7 will be a major upgrade that combines the simplicity and elegant design of iOS with the multidimensional capabilities of the Android platform, offering users a more modern and enjoyable interface.
