Here’s a detailed breakdown of all the One UI 7 features:
1. Redesigned User Interface
Dynamic Themes: Samsung has expanded its support for Material You themes, allowing color palettes to adjust based on your wallpaper. Now, you can even apply different color schemes to individual apps for deeper customization.
Split Quick Settings Panel:
Swiping down from the left opens notifications.
Swiping down from the right reveals quick settings, offering cleaner navigation.
Refreshed App Icons and Visuals: Icons are now rounder and more vibrant, with a semi-3D appearance. Animations have also been improved, making transitions and app launches smoother.

Correct grammar and spelling.
Rewrite content for different tones or styles (e.g., professional or casual).
Summarize long texts into key points.
Call Transcripts:

Would you like assistance exploring these features further or setting them up?
All these features available for s23 ultra? I don't think so, it could be for s24 series, but not for s23 series. The faster updates via one ui core, I heard is starting for s25 series, not for older series.
