your Galaxy S25, Gemini in Galaxy AI and the long-awaited One UI 7 update

Today is the big day of Galaxy Unpacked in which the Galaxy S25 Slim will possibly be shown, Samsung’s slim flagship phone. A very special event for several reasons. One of them is the renewal of the Galaxy S25 seriesanother the premiere of One UI 7 with new AI functions and the third for the possible appearance of a mobile phone that aims to be very different from the rest of the Galaxy S25, the S25 Slim.

It is the first time that Samsung announces the new One UI update at the presentation of its new flagship phones. And until now I had always left the deployment of One UI for autumn so that the flagships launched that same year could test all the new features.

Last year, if One UI 7 had been launched in the fall, the Galaxy S24 would be the mobile phones that would test the virtues and benefits of Android 15 for the first time; just as it has been with the Galaxy S23 and One UI 6, or the Galaxy S22 with One UI 5.

Bringing the new One UI 7 update to the announcement of its new Galaxy S25 has meant that the beta was also published later, just in December of last year. So the brand’s loyal followers have had to wait longer than necessary.

So that today, at 7:00 p.m. in Spain, the Galaxy Unpacked that can be followed from the official Samsung website and thus attend all that string of news that the Korean company will show. And there are many, so last minute surprises are also expected.

One UI 7 is something more

Samsung is going to give the details of a major update that has been delayed to bring important news and one appears as the main protagonist: Now Bar, a personal text assistant which will be located on the lock screen to give recommendations to the user.

Another important novelty is the new quick settings panel redesignthat will allow you to open notifications on the one hand and on the other hand those settings (similar to MIUI and other layers); changes to the camera app, which will improve user interaction for faster captures; and the possibility of a renewed Bixby with AI.

But there is more, and Samsung does not want to be left behind in the race for the best user experience that Apple is providing with its iPhone and those fluid animationsand from what has been seen, One UI 7 will exponentially increase interaction with apps, icons, screens and more so that everything looks very fluid; and even more so when their Ultra models enjoy a 120 Hz refresh rate on the screen.

It will also give a twist to the personalization of its mobile phones so that the user can change almost everything about the interface. It will even give the possibility of freely place app icons or widgets on the home screen by removing grid limitations.

A great review of the Good Lock modules that will allow you to make recordings with the camera app so that the file is go directly to the connected external hard drive to the USB type-C connection of the Galaxy S25 and others.

Galaxy AI and Gemini from Google

In One UI 7 another of the protagonists will be Gemini with Galaxy AIwhich will bring a lot of new features to Samsung phones and will be part of the system so that it is not even necessary to use the internet connection for tasks such as photo editing.

Of course, now Gemini will appear by default to be invoked by the voice command “Hey, Gemini”, instead of the familiar “Hey, Google”. In fact, its integration will be complete with some apps such as notes or messaging apps and thus it will be a very capable assistant so that you can search for a place to go to dinner and send it directly to a contact.

In fact, AI will also be part of Now Bar with Now Brief and thus give a daily summary with artificial intelligence or simply give context to the actions that the user takes with your mobile. It can be said that the experience will be much more interactive so that AI becomes part of the user’s daily life with Galaxy AI.

Another of the most interesting functions will be YouTube Noteswhich will be responsible for providing information or a summary of the video that is playing on the screen. Almost as if it were a kind of Rodea to search for a special good that you can interact with directly from the YouTube video platform app.

The integration will also be total with the calendar, reminders and notes appso the assistant will be in charge of carrying out all kinds of tasks to save time and thus generate an experience that elevates Galaxy AI to another category, when it was first launched on the Galaxy S24; and we must not forget about multimodality in artificial intelligence for the more creative side of One UI 7.

The four Galaxy S24

Another of the surprises of Galaxy Unpacked is going to be the announcement of a mobile that aims to be something very different what Samsung has been launching for years, with the exception of the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip folding phones. This is the Galaxy S25 Slimalthough its total availability will be for the month of May according to a last-minute leak.

It is expected that, as happened last year with the Galaxy Ring that was shown at Galaxy Unpacked, Samsung will do the same and announce the Galaxy S25 Slim with some details or simply an image that indicates that it is on the way; The promotional image for Unpacked already showed the four devices that make up the series.

One that will be led, as year after year, by the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which this time will be defined by an important change in its design, those more rounded corners that place it in a language more similar to what Apple speaks with its iPhone. The price of the three Galaxy S25 nor will it undergo important changes, as stated days ago so that the Korean manufacturer assumes production overruns.

Nothing will change on the back with those drops of water like each of the cameras that will be mounted with a quad system to continue betting on great photography. The 200 Mpx camera It will be one of the greatest strengths of that system and another of the important novelties, which last year was almost ignored in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, will be the new Corning Gorilla Armor which will protect and prevent daylight from hitting the screen to almost make the reflections opaque.

the chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite It will be another of the main actors in the specifications of the trio of mobile phones that will be released in days in Spain. And all three will also start from 12 GB of RAM to make an important leap, especially in last year’s variants of the Galaxy S24, which some stayed at 8 GB.

Some interesting details are WiFi 7, 5,000 mAh battery for the Galaxy S25 Ultraa 12 Mpx front camera that is distributed between the three phones and the weight of the Galaxy S25 that remains at a paltry 162 g; five grams less than the previous Galaxy S24 that was launched in Spain.

Finally, another surprise will be the support for Qi2 wireless charging with which you can make the jump to iPhone magnetsalthough it seems that it will be through a case with magnets. A great day for Android and for the interests of Samsung as well as those of Google, since their alliance is strengthened year after year with the exclusive use of certain functions as happened last year with the premiere of Rodea for Search.
