Samsung is getting ready to launch One UI 8, and one of the most exciting new features is a fresh lock screen experience that could win over many users. While most of the new features are still under wraps, a recent leak has revealed some big changes that fans of customisation will love.
Lock Screen Customisation Gets Better
The South Korean tech giant Samsung has made improvements by giving users more ways to customise most features on their phones. The One UI 7 was a big software update that featured a lot of lock screen options. It allowed users to add frames around subjects in their wallpaper and apply effects like overlays to give the screen a distinctive look. These tools work best with portrait photos and let users blur the background to make things like the clock, date, and notifications stand out.
If your device has AI features, there’s even a “Suggest” button that helps you create a lock screen style by mixing frames and effects automatically.
One UI 8’s Clock Takes Things Further
With One UI 8, Samsung is bringing in a fresh lock screen clock that looks different, moves, and adjusts itself smartly. The leaked video from well-known tipster @universeice shows the clock changing its size and shape smoothly depending on the subject in the wallpaper. It may almost seem like the clock comes with the wallpaper because of how seamless the display looks.
Smooth Animations That Impress
Once you pick your clock style, the real magic happens when your phone screen comes on. The clock text gently expands upward in a vertical motion. If your phone’s always-on display (AOD) is turned on, the animation from AOD to the lock screen is smooth and seamless.
Coming Soon
These lock screen upgrades should roll out with One UI 8 next month. If you enjoy making your phone feel like your own, this update might be one of the most exciting yet. The new animated clock and smart design are set to take Samsung’s customisation game to the next level.
