Here’s your first look of One UI 7 Beta on the Galaxy Tab S10!
Samsung has recently released the beta version of the upcoming version of One UI that was highly anticipated – called One UI 7, which first launched with the Galaxy S25 series and all devices released this year – for the 5G version of the Galaxy Tab S10 series. The beta version of One UI 7 contained many improvements and new features, including the new, bold design that is simple, natural, and intuitive.
One UI 7 Beta was recently released for the Galaxy Tab S10 series in Korea, where Korean users can get to test this version of One UI and send feedback before the stable release that will start in April for the latest devices. According to a recent Samsung Members post to the tablet forums, we now have the first look of One UI 7 Beta for tablets.
The app drawer for tablets has only seen one improvement. That is the search bar that has now moved to the bottom of the screen. Other than that, there is wasted space at the left and the right edges of the screen. The status bar didn’t get thicker on tablets, unlike the smartphones that got the thicker status bar.
Alongside that, the notification center and the Quick Panel screens still need some refinement, including the usage of the entire screen space to put both the notification center and the Quick Panel together in one screen to make better use of the screen. This results in a huge waste of screen space if the current implementation has been pushed to stable versions, and we hope that there will be improvements regarding this area.
Then, Good Lock’s UI has actually been updated to make use of the screen real estate fully, and this is actually good. LockStar and HomeUp are still not optimized for One UI 7 for tablets, so you can’t run those Good Lock modules.
The Settings application didn’t see any major design changes except that the icon placeholders have turned from squircles to circles to align with the latest One UI 7 design goals. The tablet is running the ZYC2 version of One UI 7, which is packed with the March 2025 security patch, based on Android 15.
This is not our review, however, because we, like all others, are waiting for One UI 7 to roll out to all supported devices.
So, tell us your opinion, how do you like the tablet version of One UI 7?
