Samsung has announced that its “One UI” software branding from Galaxy devices will be expanding to the rest of the company’s major tech products starting next year.
One UI was first announced for Galaxy devices back in 2018, with the revamped Android skin taking over for the widely detested TouchWiz that came before it. It was a welcome and well-received update that Samsung has built on for several years now, and even expanded to smartwatches following the company’s adoption of Wear OS.
Now, One UI is coming to other devices.
At its annual developer conference, Samsung announced that “One UI” is the new name for the company’s software experiences across “major product lines.” This specifically includes TVs and home appliances.
Samsung says:
In addition, the company announced that it will integrate the software experience of its major product lines — from mobile devices to TVs and home appliances — under the name One UI next year. By providing a cohesive product experience and committing to software upgrades for up to seven years, Samsung will continue to bring innovation for its customers.
There’s no word on how, if at all, this will affect software design or features, but the cohesive branding and the announcement mentioning that it will “integrate the software experience” implies we’ll see similar designs across the company’s portfolio, at least eventually.
Samsung also announced that One UI 7, its next Android update, would be delayed to 2025 with a beta “before the end of the year” during the same keynote.
