Samsung's One UI 7 Unveils AI-Powered 'Now Bar' and Enhanced Data Protection

Samsung is preparing for the launch of its Galaxy S25 series, and with it comes a host of new AI features via One UI 7's 'Now Bar.' The Now Bar is essentially a notification system that displays permanent information about your day using an internal AI summary. Not only can the Now Bar suggest when you should go to bed or exercise, but it shows weather forecasts, recommended playlists, and rounds up relevant apps for traveling.

Along with this, Samsung has also announced its "Personal Data Engine," a Knox enhancement that leverages post-quantum cryptography. The new data engine promises secure on-device storage while cross-app personal information is protected.
