I've never been subtle about my dislike for Samsung's TouchWiz Nature UX 2.0. It's one of the gaudiest Android interfaces out there. You'd think that the world's biggest smartphone manufacturer would jump on the bandwagon of flatter icons and a simplified interface design, but unfortunately Samsung is trailing behind.
Unless, of course, the latest rumors are true: there are rumblings that Samsung has dumped its tacky, cartoony interface and swapped it out for something a little more modern. Evleaks, the anonymous blogger who is often on the mark with its leaks of upcoming gadget news, tweeted several images illustrating what it purports to be Samsung's forthcoming interface makeover.
The screenshots show an interface that borrows much of the aesthetic from the latest iterations of Android 4.4 KitKat, with a little bit of iOS 7 thrown in. That's not to say that Samsu ng is copying anyone, but rather that it is fashioning itself to follow where the rest of the industry is headed, design wise.

You'll notice that Samsung hasn't completely renovated all of its application icons—the Gallery app, for instance, still features the same "bubbly" flower icon.
