Samsung is said to be bringing many of Apple's favorite features to Galaxy users running One UI 7.0.
Over the past few years, Apple has been introducing a number of exciting software features to its users, especially on the iPhone, the company’s best-selling hardware device. Some of the standout features that have made their way into iOS include Dynamic Island and Live Activities, which have inspired many Android manufacturers.

Now, a company considered to be Apple's biggest rival, Samsung , is doing something similar with the One UI 7.0 update, where the Korean company is likely to bring two iOS features that are loved by Apple users to the upcoming One UI version.
Information about One UI 7.0 has started to appear more and more as the Korean company is ready to deploy the beta program of this interface in the near future, allowing users to experience the customized version based on Android 15 sooner.
The latest report from X user @chunvn8888 shows that One UI 7.0 will bring Samsung's own Dynamic Island and Live Activities features. Dynamic Island is known to be Apple's way of increasing the usability of the punch-hole home screen on the new generation iPhone, allowing relevant information to be displayed such as a timer, allowing music controls and viewing interactions with Apple Pay and Face ID.

Meanwhile, Live Activities are essentially lock screen notifications from apps that can update automatically. For example, a sports app could show near-real-time game scores, allowing users to keep up with the action without having to unlock their device.
It’s unclear what Samsung’s version of these features will be called, and whether Samsung will take them to the next level and make them useful in other ways. But one thing’s for sure: we can expect to see more One UI 7.0 leaks and rumors in the coming weeks and months.

In any case, it is not completely ruled out that Samsung will release an update for these models after One UI 7 as Samsung has also surprised many with an update outside of the specified schedule.
With the arrival of One UI 7 and Android 15 on these models, some important new features will appear. For example, this update will bring new features such as private space, partial screen sharing, app storage, new security and privacy features, etc.
Not all the details about what Samsung is preparing for One UI 7 are available yet, so there's still a lot to discover about what the South Korean company is preparing for this major software update.
