The redesigned camera app in One UI 7 allows for one-handed operation

At the company’s developer conference, we were able to check how Samsung One UI 7 works on Galaxy phones. This early firmware brings a few changes, and now it turns out it also has a redesigned camera app.

SamMobile posted a video showing the redesigned camera app running on a Galaxy S24 Ultra running an early version of One UI 7. Watch the clip below.

The most noticeable change is that the viewfinder settings menu has been moved to the bottom of the display (just above the shutter button). This improvement should make for more comfortable one-handed operation since you don’t have to do arm gymnastics to reach the top of the screen.

It’s also worth noting that this settings menu is now a carousel, allowing you to swipe sideways to view various options (e.g. exposure, aspect ratio, flash). This is another change that may make one-handed operation less cumbersome.

There’s no guarantee that these changes to the camera app will appear in the final version of One UI 7, which is expected to be released in early 2025, but our guess is that it’s almost a finished product. These fixes also come after we previewed One UI 7 on these devices earlier this week, confirming a separate quick settings panel and notification area, as well as new icons. So you should expect a litany of changes when Samsung finally releases this software.
