Introduction

The latest news have hinted at the fact that One UI 7 will arrive soon, developed by Samsung. Apple recently talked about using its ‘Dynamic Island’ design. But, as far as credible tipster with the nickname @UniverseIce, the indicated pre-requisites have been negated, and much has been explained regarding what users have to look forward to in Samsung’s latest UI update.

What Is ‘Dynamic Island’?

Apple released iPhone 14 Pro series of the device featuring a ‘Dynamic Island’ that has attracted user’s for the flexible and interactive notification bar. This feature integrates the aspect of the hardware and software as the notch area becomes functional on the interface. It displays alerts, notifications, and ongoing activities like music playback or call status, blending seamlessly into the display.

Rumor Dispelled

@UniverseIce, a well-known and reliable source for tech leaks, recently took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to address the speculation. He firmly denied the rumor that Samsung’s One UI 7.0 beta update would feature Apple’s ‘Dynamic Island’ design. The tipster explained that the confusion stemmed from the elliptical status bar notification design seen in leaked images of One UI 7.0.

Elliptical Design Elements

In One UI 6, Samsung introduced an elliptical element in the status bar for call notifications. This design choice led some to believe that Samsung might adopt a similar approach to Apple’s ‘Dynamic Island,’ a dynamic and interactive area on the iPhone’s display that adapts to show alerts, notifications, and activities. However, @UniverseIce clarified that these elliptical elements in One UI 7.0 are merely prompts for various services such as the recorder, stopwatch, and music, and not an attempt to replicate Apple’s feature.

Unique Approach By Samsung

The tipster emphasized that Samsung is not copying Apple’s UI elements but is instead expanding its own design language. The elliptical prompts can be observed for the improvement of functionality and usability of One UI 7 across numerous applications. This approach correlates with Samsung’s concept of developing a unique and seamless experience that customers have while using the company’s devices.

Beta Testing And New Features

Samsung is believed to initiate the beta process to One UI 7 soon. From previous leaks, One UI 7. 0, it has pledged a massive UI redesign which would give new looks to notifications, quick toggles, quick settings and even the stock app icons. Many speculated that the update would improve cross-device operation and enhance interaction between different Samsung products

Conclusion

All in all, the reported One UI 7 Release News about the Samsung is mente. It claims regarding other phones with incorporating Apple’s ‘Dynamic Island’ design have been squash by reputable leaker @UniverseIce. Instead, Samsung is continuing the introduction of the elliptical design as a part of the design elements to improve the function and interactivity across various applications. This approach corresponds to Samsung’s vision of offering a unique and well-coordinated experience that its gadgets provide compared to competitors.

In my opinion, this is a good decision of Samsung to create its own line of graphic design instead of emulating the iOS look. The elliptical prompts seem like a useful feature to enhance functionality and user experience. Regarding One UI 7 coming to my device, they are many changes and new features that I would like to witness, particularly the changes applied to the notifications and the quick settings.
