What One UI 7 features are missing on Galaxy S24 compared to Galaxy S25?
Samsung’s One UI 7 update brings exciting changes to its phones, but not all features are the same across devices. The Galaxy S25 enjoys some cool extras that the Galaxy S24 misses out on. Let’s look at what’s different.
First, the Galaxy S25 has a smoother charging animation. When you plug it in, the screen shows a slick, flowing effect that feels more polished than the slightly choppy one on the Galaxy S24. It’s a small thing, but it makes charging look nicer.
Next, the S25 gets the “Now Bar” feature. This handy tool pops up quick controls based on what you’re doing—like music or calls—right on the status bar. The Galaxy S24 doesn’t have this yet, though it might come later with an update.
The camera app on the S25 also shines brighter. It has new tricks like better slow-motion recording with the ultrawide lens and a “Samsung Log” video mode for pros. The S24 gets some camera upgrades with One UI 7, but it doesn’t match these exclusive S25 perks.
Finally, the S25’s design feels fresher with rounded corners and a modern vibe, thanks to One UI 7 tweaks. The S24’s look stays mostly the same, even after the update. Why the difference? Samsung often saves the best stuff for its newest phones to make them stand out.
Still, the S24 isn’t left behind—it gets a solid One UI 7 experience with improved apps and smoother performance. If you’re an S24 user, you’re not missing out on everything, but the S25 has an edge with these extras. Maybe a future update will bring more to the S24—fingers crossed!
