Renowned tipster @UniverseIce denied the rumor that Apple's 'Dynamic Island' design is coming to Samsung's upcoming One UI 7.0 beta update. He further stated that the elliptical status bar notification design, that originally led people to expect the inclusion of 'Dynamic Island', may come to more services, such as recorder and stopwatch. Samsung is expected to start beta testing One UI 7.0 on July 29th.

The upcoming Samsung One UI 7 update was expected to include its own version of Apple's 'Dynamic Island', after a leak hinted towards the same. As an update to the aforementioned info, renowned tipster @UniverseIce (ICE UNIVERSE) posted a counter claim on X/Twitter. He stated that the elliptical design elements in the status bar that led people to believe that Dynamic Island is coming to One UI 7.0 are solely prompts, nothing more.

In One UI 6, there was only one single elliptical element - the call notification. With One UI 7, Samsung will likely bring a similar design to the other apps, such as stopwatch, music and recording. @UniverseIce explicitly stated that he believes this is in no way copying Apple's UI elements, and that Samsung is trying to do their own thing.

Samsung's highly anticipated One UI 7.0 operating system is rumored to enter the beta testing phase on July 29th. Past leaks have suggested a big UI overhaul. The new interface is expected to feature revamped notifications, quick settings, and stock app icons. Samsung is also rumored to introduce enhanced cross-device functionality.
