Samsung is currently busy with the One UI 8.5 beta program, but the brand is also developing One UI 9, the next major upgrade for Galaxy devices.
Recently, the official logo of One UI 9 was leaked, and some time ago, Samsung community moderators also hinted about some functions coming in One UI 9.
Along with all this, many leaks have revealed some of the features coming in One UI 9. Our tech enthusiasts have compiled a list of these features by exploring One UI 9 details available on the internet, which you can see below.
One UI 9 Official Banner Image
Starting with the leaked One UI 9 header page, this newly leaked software page could be the Android 17-based One UI 9’s first look. The glimpse of the upcoming major upgrade banner is discovered in the new software update app build header by the Sammyguru.
One UI 9 to address confusing app list and notification feature issue in Notistar
Samsung confirmed two Notistar-related fixes coming with the One UI 9 upgrade. The next major update will fix the long list of unusable system apps in the Application List section under the Setting menu by hiding unnecessary apps.
Another moderator confirms the return of the “Set app unable to clear notifications” option in the Notistar settings. The feature existed till One UI 7 and was removed from One UI 8, and now it will again be available from One UI 9.
One UI 9 could add native App Lock features
Samsung One UI offers several advanced features and functionalities along with many AI features, but still it lacks a native App Lock function. According to Android Authority, Google is preparing to introduce dedicated App Lock features for its next Android 17 OS. The One UI 9 will be based on Google Android 17, so we can expect these features in the Galaxy devices with the next major upgrade.
Major AOD upgrade with One UI 9
Google is now preparing Android 17 to offer next-level users an experience with its upcoming features. As reported by Android Authority, Android 17 will have a minimal mode AOD feature, which allows system apps such as Google Maps to display activity on the AOD screen with a minimal version.
One UI 9 Motion Assist feature
These upcoming features could make your smartphone-using experience while driving vehicles better. Reportedly the search engine giant is working to introduce a new Motion Assist feature with Android 17. This feature will display small dots on the screen and try to match your vehicle’s motion to reduce sickness.
Android 17 Eye Dropper App
The Android Authority discovered a new application named “EyeDropper” in the new 2510 Android Canary update. This small system app allows other Android apps to pick colors through a new API, which will reduce developers’ work to create app-specific color pickers.
Improved Gaming Experiences
Google is developing a virtual gamepad controller to elevate the gaming experience with Android 17. This overhaul will also allow physical gaming controllers to work with Android games even if the games only support touch controls.
Well, due to the large article, we could not elaborate on these features in detail, and we hope you enjoyed this information. If you like the latest tech news, keep connected with us for more such interesting tech news.
However, these are not officially announced features, and the final software may have different features. Some functions may not be introduced after the final testing of this software and device capabilities. But we can expect Android 17 will bring most of these features in the final version of the software.
