TL;DR
- Samsung has updated its Clock app ahead of the One UI 7 beta program, bringing a few visual tweaks.
- The company has also updated its Samsung Internet browser, although a new icon seems to be the only real visual change.
The Samsung One UI 7 beta program is tipped to launch today (July 29), and it looks like Samsung is already updating some apps ahead of the new software’s arrival.
Redditor Lord_Drizzleshizz (h/t: 9to5Google) spotted the arrival of an overhauled Clock app. The user claimed that the update (version 12.4.00.9) was available officially, suggesting that they received it via the Galaxy Store. However, it’s also available via APKMirror if you’d like to sideload it. You can check out their screenshots below.
We get a good look at the tweaked design, some apparent widgets, and what seems to be a notification pill. Otherwise, One UI 7’s Clock also brings icons alongside the alarm, world clock, stopwatch, and timer text.
This isn’t the only Samsung app getting updated ahead of the One UI 7 beta program, as the Redditor also spotted an updated Samsung Internet Browser (version 26.0.8.1). Check out the images below comparing the new version to the current app.
There don’t seem to be any visual differences here, although the Samsung Internet app icon has received a fresh coat of paint. More specifically, the planet is now tilting in a different direction and the icon itself has a darker hue.
In any event, it’s a safe bet that more Samsung apps will be updated in the coming days to bring it in line with Samsung One UI 7. Rumors and leaks point to a variety of new app icons, rounded UI elements, and separate panels for quick settings and the notification shade.
