One UI 9.5 brings improved design to Galaxy Enhance-X image editing app

Earlier this week, we reported on several new features and improvements that One UI 9.5 will bring to Galaxy phones and tablets in the near future. Now, we have come across another app receiving a major UI redesign with One UI 9.5: Galaxy Enhance-X.

The latest version of Samsung’s image editing app introduces a significant visual overhaul, particularly across its home screen, navigation bar, and photo editing interface.

Starting with the home screen, the current version of Galaxy Enhance-X displays banners for various plugins at the top, followed by a section at the bottom for choosing photos and videos from your gallery. Users can expand this section to browse their media files.

In the upcoming version of the app, Samsung has completely revamped this layout. Instead of relying on expandable menus, the app directly showcases images from your gallery on the home screen, allowing you to quickly select a photo and jump straight into editing.

Samsung has also updated the app's floating bottom navigation bar. The current publicly available version includes three tabs: Plugins, Home, and Library.
The upcoming release replaces Library with History and introduces a new tab called Discover, bringing the total count to four: Plugins, Home, History, and Discover.

The most noticeable changes, however, appear in the image editing interface. In the current version of the app, Undo and Redo buttons sit on the left, while the Save button is positioned on the right. All three buttons reside inside an oval pill container that floats over the lower portion of the image being edited.

In the upcoming update, Samsung has stripped away the oval background container entirely. The buttons have also been shifted higher up the display, ensuring they no longer obscure the image you are working on.

The toolbar housing the editing tools has received a substantial visual refresh as well. While the current version features a blue gradient background with icon-only tools, the redesigned version opts for a sleek, solid black background and adds text labels beneath every tool icon. This makes it much easier to identify specific features without guessing based solely on their iconography.

Another notable shift is the removal of the Suggested tab. Currently, the editing interface opens to this tab by default to recommend automated tweaks for your shot. In the upcoming version, these automatic suggestions have been removed in favor of direct manual access.

Overall, these updates give Galaxy Enhance-X a much cleaner, more modern, and more organized appearance.
