Introduction

This video highlights thirteen noteworthy features and settings within Samsung's One UI 7 update for Galaxy devices. The speaker demonstrates how to customize these features, emphasizing their ease of use and impact on user experience.

Key Takeaways

• Lockscreen Enhancements: One UI 7 offers customizable clock styles (including animated options), resizing, and repositioning. It also provides expanded shortcut options on the lock screen for quick access to various phone functions.
• Homescreen Improvements: Users can adjust app icon sizes and choose whether or not to display app labels, offering more control over screen appearance. Landscape mode has been improved, with widgets and icons retaining their size and position when the screen is rotated. A lock screen rotation option is also available.
• Expanded Folders: Folders can be enlarged, allowing for more icons within a folder and direct access to apps without opening the folder.
• Call Recording: A built-in call recording feature with a notification to the other party is now available. Recorded calls include transcripts.
• Enhanced Video Recording: A slider for smoother zoom control during video recording is included.
• Audio Eraser: This feature reduces background noise in videos, focusing on the main audio source.
• Countdown Widget: A widget displays the countdown to calendar events, customizable with images.
• Now Bar: This feature provides quick access to active background tasks (timers, music, voice recordings), and displays live sports scores (after enabling this setting).
• Nearby Devices: Quickly connect or disconnect Bluetooth devices directly within quick settings.
• Improved Routines: The Routines app includes "if/then/else" functionality, allowing for highly complex automation based on various conditions.
• Best Face: When using motion photos, this allows selection of the best frame from a short video, ensuring everyone in a group photo looks their best.
• Circle to Search Music: The Circle to Search feature can now identify music playing in the background of a video or even from humming.
• AI Gallery Search: The Gallery app utilizes AI to search photos based on textual descriptions, making it easier to find specific pictures.

The AI Gallery Search function works by allowing you to either type or speak a description of what you're looking for into the Gallery app's search bar. The AI then processes this information and returns relevant photos from your gallery.

Examples from the transcript:

• The speaker searched for "pictures of my ski trip from BC that I went earlier this year" and the AI successfully returned photos from a British Columbia ski trip.
• The speaker searched for "pictures of me wearing a sombrero" and the AI returned all photos containing a sombrero, regardless of who was wearing it.
