Samsung is reportedly preparing a new "adaptive UI" for its Galaxy devices.

The new UI could appear on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 before rolling out on other devices.

Samsung may be preparing a new "adaptive UI" with its next major update to One UI. Leaker Ice Universe posted a series of GIFs that show off the UI in action, adapting to different form factors from smartphones to tablets and foldables like the rumored Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.

While One UI 3.1 is already found on many different types of devices like the best foldable phones, this could open the door to a new category that Samsung has only teased) at this point: rollables. The company recently showed several different display concepts, including a "Slidable OLED." The device resembles that of the canceled LG Rollable or the OPPO X 2021.

Samsung's adaptive UI could be ideal for devices like rollable smartphones. Since the display extends outwards to allow more surface area, the UI must adjust accordingly and differently from a foldable smartphone.

Samsung hasn't yet divulged details on its next major version of One UI, so take these GIFs with a grain of salt. But the company was previously rumored to be producing rollable displays this year, so it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility for the company to lay the groundwork for its upcoming form factors.

Of course, it would likely be up to app developers to do the extra legwork to allow their apps to adapt to the new UI. That said, Google has been working to improve support for foldables in Android, which likely extends to rollable devices as well.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
