Samsung’s One UI now covers all consumer devices, including TVs and home appliances

Samsung will start using the One UI name for all of its consumer devices, which now includes TVs and home appliances. Executive Vice President Sally Hyesoon Jeong made the announcement at the company’s 2024 Developer Conference (via 9to5Google). The One UI brand was previously only available on Galaxy phones, tablets and wearables.

“One UI now goes beyond mobile devices and offers software for all Samsung consumer devices,” Hyesoon Jeong said on stage during a speech in San Jose. This is part of the company’s goal for more consistent branding across the consumer ecosystem, especially as its AI-driven approach evolves.

Samsung also joked that its next software, One UI 7, will arrive with the Galaxy S series of phones for 2025. “One UI 7 will introduce a fresh new look for the entire interface,” Hyesoon Jeong said at the conference. She set three goals for the upcoming software: simple (with a purpose), impactful (leaving a “signature impression”) and emotive design that evokes a human response from the user.

Samsung’s vice president says the One UI 7 home screen grid represents more focused design principles. “It’s sleeker and easier to use, giving you a neat home screen no matter what Galaxy device you’re using,” said Hyesoon Jeong.

While One UI 7 will have to wait until early next year, the company says a developer beta will be available for testing later this year.
