Samsung’s upcoming One UI 7 update could bring some pretty big changes to the look of its Galaxy devices. Leaked screenshots @chunvn8888 shared with Smartprix show Samsung’s Android skin with tweaks to the quick settings and notification panels, along with UI elements that take on a rounder appearance throughout.

As shown in the leaked screenshots, it looks like Samsung may split the notification panel from the quick setting shade. The unified shade in One UI 6 has you swipe down once to access your notifications and again to reach your quick settings (unless you’re using instant access) — but that may change in One UI 7.

You might also notice that the shaded elements surrounding the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons trade their squircle shape in One UI 6 for a more rounded appearance. That tweak is reflected in other areas of One UI 7 as well, including the notification bubbles and the main settings menu.

Smartprix also obtained a video showing a new notification pop-out for the timer and other system apps that looks a little bit like the animations for the iPhone’s Dynamic Island. At the bottom of the screen, you can see each app with rounded corners, while the Gallery app icon has a more colorful design.

The screenshots also show “continuity notifications,” which appear to allow you to send video call notifications to your other Galaxy devices and pick up your call from there. That sounds a bit like Google’s upcoming cross-device feature that lets you transfer video calls between devices. Apple also has a similar feature allowing you to hand off FaceTime calls from an iPhone to an iPad or Mac.
