Leaks about Samsung’s upcoming One UI 7.0 update give us a sneak peek at its new look. Recent rumors suggest big changes in the UI, animations, menus, settings, and app icons.
Samsung One UI 7 icons first look
A reliable leaker @chunvn8888 shows new screenshots of these new HD icons. The Samsung Internet icon has a 90-degree rotation and now has vibrant colors with blue gradients. The Phone app icon also changed, looking fuller and almost like a pill according to SamMobile. Other icons show mixed changes. The Contacts icon is mostly the same, but the Settings icon now looks similar to iOS style.
The Clock icon has a white background with clock hands pointing in different directions. These leaks suggest Samsung may move away from Google’s Material Design for its app icons. Instead of flat and monochromatic, the new designs use more color and subtle gradients for a 3D effect. This marks a shift from Material Design’s flat look.
