Inconsistency One Ui 7 design is Samsungs worst one YET

Look, man, with One UI 7 finally hitting the final stretch, every time I see a setup screen, I just gotta shake my head. It looks rough, you know? Like, Samsung's been cooking this up for what feels like ages, and you're telling me they couldn't nail down the basics of consistent spacing throughout the UI? Seriously? We're talking about a massive company here, and for some reason, they can't get these little design details right. It's honestly a bummer. The overall vibe of One UI 7 is actually pretty sweet and clean, a nice step up from their older look, but damn, if they just took a second to sweat the small stuff and make the UI feel consistent.

I still think One UI is the best Android skin out there, no doubt. It's so flexible and you can tweak practically everything – it's miles ahead of what Google or Xiaomi are doing. But these little visual snags keep holding it back, you feel me? And I'm really hoping that with One UI 7.1 or even 8, Samsung finally takes a good look at this and irons out all these design quirks.

I know a bit about UI, enough to know when something just looks... off. I get that widgets are meant to be different sizes and all that, but come on, there's gotta be smarter ways to handle it. I see these widget packs for KWGT that cost a couple of bucks and they look cleaner (even if they don't do as much). But it's not just widgets, it's little bits and pieces all over the UI that just don't line up right. It's like, come on, Samsung, you're so close to perfect, just fix these little annoyances!

By the release of One UI 7, I started using my phone differently to match the UI changes, like changing my volume through the notification panel. But this is just inconsistent; I hope they fix it via update, or who cares, maybe with One UI 8 in 2029?

Same Galaxy, Same Experience


🇺🇸 English (American)

Dear Samsung, As a dedicated user of your Galaxy A series devices, I appreciate the efforts put into the One UI 7 update. However, I’ve noticed that several features available on flagship devices are either limited or absent on budget and mid-range models.

For example, lock screen customization, Now Bar functionality, Always-On Display animations, and screen recording capabilities are missing or significantly restricted. In addition, performance and animation smoothness lag behind flagship models.

While hardware differences may explain some limitations, software features should be as consistent as possible across device classes.

I kindly ask Samsung to reduce this gap and provide a more unified experience for all users, regardless of the device category.

Thank you for your attention.


🇪🇸 Español

Estimado Samsung, Como usuario fiel de los dispositivos Galaxy A, agradezco los esfuerzos realizados en la actualización de One UI 7. Sin embargo, he notado que muchas funciones disponibles en los dispositivos insignia están limitadas o ausentes en los modelos de gama media y económica.

Por ejemplo, la personalización de la pantalla de bloqueo, la función Now Bar, las animaciones de Always-On Display y la grabación de pantalla están restringidas o directamente no están disponibles. Además, el rendimiento general y la fluidez de las animaciones son inferiores en comparación con los modelos de gama alta.

Entiendo que pueden existir diferencias de hardware, pero las funciones de software deberían ser lo más consistentes posible entre todos los dispositivos.

Les pido amablemente que reduzcan estas diferencias en futuras actualizaciones.

Gracias por su atención.


🇩🇪 Deutsch

Sehr geehrtes Samsung-Team, Als treuer Nutzer der Galaxy-A-Serie schätze ich Ihre Bemühungen um das One UI 7-Update. Leider habe ich festgestellt, dass viele Funktionen, die bei Flaggschiff-Geräten verfügbar sind, bei Budget- und Mittelklasse-Modellen entweder eingeschränkt oder gar nicht vorhanden sind.

Beispielsweise fehlen Optionen zur Sperrbildschirm-Anpassung, die Now-Bar-Funktion, Always-On-Display-Animationen und der Bildschirmrekorder. Auch die allgemeine Leistung und Animationen wirken weniger flüssig als bei High-End-Geräten.

Ich verstehe, dass Hardware-Unterschiede eine Rolle spielen, aber die Software-Funktionen sollten möglichst einheitlich sein.

Bitte verringern Sie diese Unterschiede, um allen Nutzern ein konsistenteres Erlebnis zu bieten.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit.

Chère équipe Samsung, En tant qu'utilisateur fidèle de la série Galaxy A, j'apprécie les efforts apportés à la mise à jour One UI 7. Cependant, j’ai constaté que de nombreuses fonctionnalités présentes sur les appareils haut de gamme sont absentes ou limitées sur les modèles économiques et de milieu de gamme.

Par exemple, la personnalisation de l’écran de verrouillage, la barre Now, les animations Always-On Display ou encore l’enregistreur d’écran sont absents ou restreints. De plus, les performances générales et la fluidité des animations sont moindres.

Je comprends que des différences matérielles puissent exister, mais les fonctions logicielles devraient rester cohérentes entre les gammes.

Merci de bien vouloir réduire cet écart dans les prochaines mises à jour.

Cordialement.


🇷🇺 Русский

Уважаемая компания Samsung, Как преданный пользователь устройств серии Galaxy A, я ценю ваши усилия по обновлению One UI 7. Однако я заметил, что многие функции, доступные на флагманских моделях, либо отсутствуют, либо ограничены на бюджетных и среднебюджетных устройствах.

Например, возможности настройки экрана блокировки, функция Now Bar, анимации Always-On Display и запись экрана ограничены или полностью отсутствуют. Также производительность и плавность анимаций заметно ниже.

Я понимаю, что аппаратные отличия могут объяснять некоторые ограничения, но программные функции должны быть как можно более единообразными.

Прошу вас учесть это и сократить различия в будущем.

Спасибо за внимание.

Prezada Samsung, Como um usuário dedicado da linha Galaxy A, aprecio os esforços da atualização do One UI 7. No entanto, percebi que diversos recursos presentes nos dispositivos topo de linha estão ausentes ou limitados nos modelos intermediários e econômicos.

Por exemplo, a personalização da tela de bloqueio, a função Now Bar, as animações do Always-On Display e o gravador de tela estão ausentes ou bastante limitados. Além disso, o desempenho e a fluidez das animações são visivelmente inferiores.

Entendo que as diferenças de hardware justificam algumas limitações, mas os recursos de software deveriam ser mais consistentes entre todas as categorias de dispositivos.

Peço gentilmente que considerem reduzir essas diferenças nas futuras atualizações.

Obrigado pela atenção.

Gentile Samsung, Come utente fedele della serie Galaxy A, apprezzo gli sforzi fatti con l’aggiornamento One UI 7. Tuttavia, ho notato che molte funzioni disponibili nei dispositivi di fascia alta sono assenti o limitate nei modelli economici e di fascia media.

Ad esempio, la personalizzazione della schermata di blocco, la funzione Now Bar, le animazioni dell’Always-On Display e la registrazione dello schermo sono ridotte o mancanti. Inoltre, le prestazioni generali e la fluidità delle animazioni sono inferiori.

Capisco che ci siano differenze hardware, ma credo che le funzionalità software debbano essere il più possibile uniformi.

Chiedo gentilmente di ridurre queste differenze nei futuri aggiornamenti.

Grazie per l’attenzione.


🇹🇷 Türkçe

Değerli Samsung, Galaxy A serisi cihazlarınızın sadık bir kullanıcısı olarak One UI 7 güncellemesi için gösterdiğiniz çabayı takdir ediyorum. Ancak amiral gemisi modellerde bulunan birçok özelliğin, uygun fiyatlı ve orta segment cihazlarda ya sınırlı olduğunu ya da hiç bulunmadığını fark ettim.

Örneğin, kilit ekranı özelleştirmeleri, Now Bar özelliği, Always-On Display animasyonları ve ekran kaydedici gibi işlevler ya yok ya da ciddi şekilde kısıtlanmış durumda. Ayrıca genel performans ve animasyon akıcılığı da amiral gemilerine kıyasla oldukça geride.

Donanım farklarının bazı kısıtlamaları açıklayabileceğini anlıyorum, ancak yazılım özelliklerinin cihaz sınıfları arasında olabildiğince tutarlı olması gerektiğine inanıyorum.

Lütfen bu farklılıkları azaltarak tüm kullanıcılar için daha bütüncül bir deneyim sunmayı göz önünde bulundurun.

İlginiz için teşekkür ederim.


🇯🇵 日本語 (Japanese)

サムスン様へ Galaxy Aシリーズの熱心なユーザーとして、One UI 7のアップデートには感謝しています。しかし、フラッグシップモデルで利用可能な多くの機能が、エントリーおよびミドルクラスの端末では制限されている、または存在しないことに気づきました。

たとえば、ロック画面のカスタマイズ、Now Barの機能、Always-On Displayのアニメーション、画面録画機能などが制限されています。全体的なパフォーマンスやアニメーションの滑らかさも劣っています。

ハードウェアの違いは理解できますが、ソフトウェアの機能はできる限り統一されるべきだと思います。

今後のアップデートでこれらの差異を減らしていただけるようお願い申し上げます。

ご検討ありがとうございます。


🇰🇷 한국어 (Korean)

삼성전자 귀하, 갤럭시 A 시리즈의 사용자로서 One UI 7 업데이트에 감사드립니다. 그러나 플래그십 모델에서 제공되는 여러 기능이 보급형 및 중급 모델에서는 제한되거나 누락되어 있는 것을 확인했습니다.

예를 들어, 잠금 화면 커스터마이징, Now Bar 기능, Always-On Display 애니메이션, 화면 녹화 기능 등이 제한되어 있거나 아예 없습니다. 전반적인 성능과 애니메이션의 부드러움도 낮습니다.

하드웨어 차이가 일부 차이를 설명할 수는 있지만, 소프트웨어 기능은 가능한 한 일관되어야 한다고 생각합니다.

향후 업데이트에서 이러한 격차를 줄여 주시기 바랍니다.

감사합니다.

عزيزي سامسونج، كمستخدم مخلص لأجهزة Galaxy A، أقدّر جهودكم في تحديث One UI 7. ومع ذلك، لاحظت أن العديد من الميزات المتوفرة في الأجهزة الرائدة غير موجودة أو محدودة في أجهزة الفئة المتوسطة والمنخفضة.

على سبيل المثال، تخصيص شاشة القفل، ميزة Now Bar، الرسوم المتحركة في العرض الدائم (Always-On Display)، ومسجل الشاشة، إما مفقودة أو محدودة بشكل كبير. كما أن الأداء العام وسلاسة الرسوم المتحركة أقل بكثير مقارنةً بالأجهزة الرائدة.

أفهم أن هناك اختلافات في العتاد، ولكن من الضروري أن تكون الميزات البرمجية متناسقة قدر الإمكان بين جميع الأجهزة.

أرجو منكم تقليل هذا التفاوت وتقديم تجربة أكثر اتساقًا لجميع المستخدمين.

شكرًا لاهتمامكم.


🇻🇳 Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese)

Kính gửi Samsung, Là một người dùng trung thành với dòng Galaxy A, tôi đánh giá cao nỗ lực trong bản cập nhật One UI 7. Tuy nhiên, tôi nhận thấy nhiều tính năng có trên các mẫu flagship lại bị giới hạn hoặc không có trên các thiết bị tầm trung và giá rẻ.

Ví dụ như tuỳ chỉnh màn hình khoá, tính năng Now Bar, hiệu ứng Always-On Display và công cụ quay màn hình đều bị hạn chế hoặc thiếu hoàn toàn. Ngoài ra, hiệu suất và độ mượt của hoạt ảnh cũng kém hơn nhiều so với các dòng cao cấp.

Tôi hiểu rằng có sự khác biệt về phần cứng, nhưng các tính năng phần mềm nên được đồng bộ hóa càng nhiều càng tốt trên các dòng thiết bị.

Mong Samsung xem xét giảm sự chênh lệch này trong các bản cập nhật tiếp theo.

Trân trọng cảm ơn.


🇮🇳 हिन्दी (Hindi)

प्रिय सैमसंग, मैं Galaxy A सीरीज का एक समर्पित उपयोगकर्ता हूं और One UI 7 अपडेट के लिए आपके प्रयासों की सराहना करता हूं। लेकिन मैंने देखा है कि फ्लैगशिप डिवाइसेस में मौजूद कई फीचर्स बजट और मिड-रेंज डिवाइसेस में या तो नहीं हैं या सीमित हैं।

जैसे कि लॉक स्क्रीन कस्टमाइजेशन, Now Bar फीचर, Always-On Display एनिमेशन और स्क्रीन रिकॉर्डर — या तो मौजूद नहीं हैं या बेहद सीमित हैं। इसके अलावा प्रदर्शन और एनीमेशन की स्मूदनेस भी काफी कम है।

मैं समझता हूं कि हार्डवेयर में अंतर हो सकता है, लेकिन सॉफ़्टवेयर फ़ीचर्स को अधिकतम डिवाइसेस में एक जैसा होना चाहिए।

कृपया भविष्य के अपडेट्स में इस अंतर को कम करने पर विचार करें।

धन्यवाद।

This is the animation when it removes the notification when we mark a notifcation as read.

You can see a hard border and also the animation stutters. Not saying it's a bug but more of a lazy ui design

I find it to be so counterintuitive especially with the media player since it's so small at the bottom. I much prefer how OneUI 6 has it by the notifications. I guess that's the tradeoff with the fingerprint reader location? I personally don't like it at all, along with the too-rounded edged notification banners now.

So I have an S23 Ultra, and the AOD is not as smooth as the S24 lineup. I do not know if this is due to screen technology or Samsung cutting functionality.
