Although One UI 7 takes time to come, more and more details about the new Samsung Galaxy operating system are known and promise with details such as the quick settings overhaul. In the absence of a beta for everyone before the end of the year which reveals more details. As a regular Samsung user, I have to say that I like One UI, but it can be improved: it’s my wishlist for One UI 7.
More AI and more integrated
With One UI 6.1, Rodea came for search, regenerative editing and other tools with AI, but to use chatbots like Google Gemini or ChatGPT. a third-party app is still needed because it does not come standard. Artificial intelligence is all the rage, so it makes perfect sense that Samsung doesn’t forget this detail.
because with ChatGPT or other chatbot integrated into the systemusing and accessing these tools is faster and more efficient. And now, the icing on the cake: saying goodbye to Bixby in favor of an AI assistant.
Battery health monitoring
With One UI 6.1, battery protection features have arrived to extend its useful life and the next step is to add health monitoring. You can already see details like app usage, but it would also be great to be able to view the maximum battery capacity and peak performance, iPhone-style.
Fortunately, rumors point to the possible arrival of this feature and it makes perfect sense, considering that Samsung offers up to seven years of updates and The battery is probably the component that degrades the most with the passage of time.

Less bloatware
Go ahead, there are some Samsung apps that I love and highly recommend for any Android, but in my opinion at the Korean company abused by bloatware. I notice it even more when I switch to my Google Pixel and enjoy a cleaner experience. So, I am not asking you to delete everything, but I am asking you to refine your selection, such as getting rid of Samsung Messages, Samsung Kids or AR emojis, which unfortunately cannot be deleted and can be disabled .
In fact, an interesting option would be to allow users to choose during initial setup which ones they want and which ones they don’t want to use. Personalize the Galaxy experience according to tastes and needssomething that affects such important aspects as a clear design of the Start menu, performance or battery.
Faster loading
Samsung phones include fast and super fast charging options, but their maximum speeds are limited to 45W and 15W wireless, Poor numbers compared to Android’s bestwith OnePlus, OPPO, realme or Xiaomi as examples.
There are models that exceed the 100W barrier and I think that the Korean firm should enter this battle and offer faster charging in its flagship products. They might implement a hardware improvement in this regard in the future, but a software update can surely improve these numbers to make them more competitive.
What about Samsung Pay?
Samsung is one of these brands strongly committed to its ecosystem: with SmartThings, with its Bixby assistant and also with its own payment system, Samsung Pay. But there is an important problem: beyond developing the product, you have to believe in it for it to grow. For me, it is essential that Samsung bets on Pay and enters into alliances so that There are other applications and services compatible with this payment method.
Fewer notifications
Anyone who owns a Samsung Galaxy will have understood: One UI warns you of absolutely everything, sometimes too many things. As one Reddit user complains: I connect the charging cable to power the battery, a notification appears, you connect it to the car with Android Auto, two notifications (one for charging and one for file transfer). And so with everything. Personalizing notifications is great, but do you need them that much?
A more coherent design
I end with a quality that should not be confused with reliability: A user interface is reliable, but lacks consistency in its design so that the Samsung interface is more consistent in all areas, menus and integration with third-party applications.
