All the latest events showcasing high-end smartphones have focused on AI, and this trend is set to persist. Samsung's OneUI 6.1 already includes numerous useful AI tools, and a leak hints that the next version, OneUI 7, may introduce a feature akin to Apple's AI search in its Gallery app.
AI Search Feature in OneUI 7’s Gallery App
The AI capabilities will allow users to search their photo collections more effectively. Instead of endlessly scrolling through countless screenshots to find a specific image, users will be able to simply search for it. This not only streamlines the process but greatly enhances the overall experience for users.
The information comes from the credible source ICE Universe, who also mentioned that the Gallery app in OneUI 7 will receive further enhancements. However, there were no details shared about other potential updates.

Timeline for OneUI 7 Release
As for when OneUI 7 will be rolled out, there are no set dates as of yet. Samsung generally unveils its S series flagship models alongside a significant update. Therefore, it’s likely that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be the first device to showcase OneUI 7, expected to launch in early 2025, potentially in January.
In addition to AI advancements, the flagship model will feature a significant redesign. Previous rumors have indicated that Samsung is moving towards rounded corners for the S25 Ultra, which should make it feel much more comfortable in hand.
