Samsung’s much-anticipated One UI 7 beta may finally be unveiled today at the company’s annual developer conference, SDC 2024, taking place in San Jose. This event has generated considerable excitement, particularly as the beta was initially expected to launch in late July but has since faced delays.
Innovative Features on the Horizon
Recent insights from tipster Ice Universe suggest that One UI 7 will introduce significant enhancements to Samsung’s Gallery app, including a highly sought-after AI Search feature. Although specific details remain under wraps, speculation points towards a functionality reminiscent of Google Photos’ Ask Photos, which utilizes AI to allow users to search for images using natural language queries. For instance, users could potentially search for phrases like, “photos of me and my dog playing catch,” streamlining the process of locating cherished memories.
The introduction of AI Search would mark a notable improvement for Samsung’s Gallery app, which has previously been criticized for its limitations. The company has been actively working to enhance user experience, particularly with the recent One UI 6.1 update that incorporated various AI-driven editing tools inspired by Google. The anticipated addition of AI Search could further position Samsung’s Gallery app as a competitive alternative to Google Photos, appealing to a broader audience of smartphone users.
As the day unfolds, Android Authority will provide ongoing coverage of SDC 2024, ensuring that readers stay informed about the latest developments regarding the One UI 7 update and its potential impact on Samsung’s software ecosystem.
