Samsung’s upcoming Android 15-based operating system, One UI 7, has just had a not-so-subtle reveal, thanks to an unexpected leak from the company’s Spanish website. The leak spills the beans on several Samsung One UI 7 features, including AI-driven tools like Sketch to Image and Portrait Studio, set to enhance user experience when the OS rolls out early next year.
The leak, spotted by leaker Chunvn8888 on X (formerly Twitter), highlights that “AI powers every step” in One UI 7, giving it a “sophisticated new look.” Among the standout features is the AI-powered Sketch to Image tool, which allows users to turn humble sketches into detailed images. This feature will now offer options like 3D Cartoon, Sketch, and Watercolor, adding a creative twist to your digital doodles.

But wait, there’s more! The Portrait Studio feature leverages AI to transform regular portraits into artistic profile pictures with themes such as Comic, 3D Cartoon, and Sketch. It’s like having a personal artist in your pocket, minus the beret and existential angst. Just remember, these artistic endeavours will be saved as 9MP images with a watermark, and you’ll need an internet connection and a Samsung account to get started.
Not to be outdone, the Live Effects in One UI 7 lets you add depth and perspective to your photos, giving them that extra oomph to stand out in your gallery—or your social media feed, if you’re into that sort of thing.
On the more practical side, Samsung is introducing enhanced Samsung Galaxy child safety controls, particularly in the Galaxy Store. Now, when your little tech prodigy tries to purchase apps, the guardian’s approval will be required. So, no more surprise charges for that premium unicorn racing game you didn’t know existed.
The update also hints at features like Circle to Search powered by Google’s Gemini large language model, Live Translate powered by Galaxy AI, and AI Zoom for photography—although some of these have already made appearances in earlier versions. Additionally, the Energy Score feature, which debuted with One UI 6 Watch on Wear OS 5 for Galaxy smartwatches, gets a nod.

As for compatibility, the fine print suggests that Samsung Galaxy AI integration features will be available for free on compatible devices until the end of 2025. The rollout is expected in Q4 2024 for select models, including the Galaxy S24, S23, S22, various Galaxy Z Fold and Flip models, and several Galaxy Tab S series tablets.
Of course, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed any of this, which suggests someone at Samsung Spain might be getting a stern talking-to—or at least a lesson in the perils of premature publication.
While leaks are often met with mixed feelings, this one certainly adds a dash of anticipation for what’s to come. Samsung’s focus on AI-driven features in One UI 7 could set a new standard for mobile operating systems, blending creativity, practicality, and a touch of fun. Let’s just hope the official release lives up to the hype—and that the Sketch to Image feature doesn’t turn our stick figures into something out of a Picasso painting.
