Wallpapers are the most intuitive canvas for expressing our personal taste and style. Every time we unlock our phones, we’re drawn to find space that reflects who we are. In that sense, wallpapers awaken our senses and breathe inspiration into the everyday. That’s why we’ve focused on bringing that same sense of self-expression, even on a smaller interface.

With One UI 8, the new Galaxy Z Flip7 presents the innovative FlexWindow wallpapers, showcasing a variety of designs tailored to fit any mood or personal style. These wallpapers display information without distracting from the subject and create a vibrant feel through interactive elements. Explore the new FlexWindow wallpaper designs from One UI 8.

“When we look at the lock screen, the time is what we usually check first. So, it makes sense that the clock takes center stage and quietly defines the mood of the entire display.” - Songmin Lee, UX Designer of MX Business

#StretchClock

The clock adapts and stretches to complement a user’s wallpaper, blending into the image as if it were a natural component of it. It recognizes the shapes of figures within the image, like people or animals, and moves fluidly along their edges with responsive text in the surrounding space.

It builds on the curved, capsule-shaped design language of One UI 7 with a deeper digital sensibility. Users can change the thickness freely so the clock reflects their personal style as a sensorial layer of information. It redefines the essence of a clock, where the background becomes expression and time becomes style.

#ModuleClock

The clock is more than just a way to tell the time. It offers a captivating new experience through touch and interaction. The time is artfully organized in a rhythmic and playful manner. This design, a collaboration with artist Dave Towers, reimagines his analog artwork in a digital format, adding a unique and creative essence.

The numbers gently wiggle as the time passes and bounce back when tapped, providing visual delight and tactile fun. Users can choose between Monotone and Tritone to express their unique style.

#LayeredClock

The clock displays numbers with enhanced depth and resonance, imparting a spatial quality to the display. Light and shadows create delicate layers that bring a three-dimensional feel to each element, visually amplifying the richness. Every time the display activates, the smooth animations layer upon one another, elevating the mundane task of checking the time into a more emotionally impactful experience.

#DailyGradation

This interactive wallpaper design captures the flow of the day through smooth color transitions. It comes in two themes, Land and Sky, and reflects real sunrise and sunset data with changes in the color gradient that shift naturally to match each day’s environment.

It creates a calm and peaceful atmosphere, delicately expressing the movement of light that follows the sun’s path. This experience conveys the message of ‘rest’ in a serene and sensory way, as if nature is gently permeating the digital screen.

The layout of the Brief Widget has also become more customizable, making it easier for users to organize information the way they like. This expanded range of design choices means users have more freedom to personalize their FlexWindow.
