The latest Samsung software, One UI 6.0, has already made its beta appearance on the Galaxy S23, and the public is eagerly awaiting the new changes. Let’s break down what’s new in this update.
Visual System Refresh
One of the key points of the upgrade is the redesign of the interface. Samsung presents a new font that gives a more modern feel to the UI, which is also more comfortable on the eyes.
New Quick setting Menu and Emoji
The new drop-down “Quick Settings” menu is more functional, with better organisation of the options. It also introduces a new set of emojis that now match their corresponding versions on other platforms, making communication easier.
Lock Screen Customization
One UI 6.0 provides more options for customising the lock screen. You can move the clock wherever you desire and choose from more fonts and styles.
Camera App Improvements
The camera app now offers more setting options, like the ability to switch between 12 MP and 50 MP photos directly from your screen. The video mode now offers flexibility in the choice of resolution and frame rate, while ‘Scene Optimizer’ has moved to ‘Advanced Intelligence Options.’
Revised Gallery and Image Editing
The gallery has been reworked to make accessing photo details easier with the addition of an “i” button on screen. In addition, editing settings are now more structured, and the process has become more user-friendly.
Weather App Improvements
The Weather app has been upgraded, now offering a pleasing blue appearance. Furthermore, the portrayal of sunrise and moon phases has improved, making the information more readable and detailed.
Expanded Security and Battery Capabilities
With the new ‘Auto Blocker’ feature, Samsung extends its security measures, preventing the installation of apps from non-authorized sources. Also, the ‘Battery’ page has now been moved to the main settings page, improving accessibility.
Enhancements in ‘Smart Select’ Function
Samsung boosts the ‘Smart Select’ function by adding information about the aspect ratio and embedding a magnifying lens. This allows greater accuracy during selection and cropping of screen segments.
Wave-like Music Movements
Another feature that may seem small, but makes a big difference, is the addition of animation during music playback. This increases the aesthetic and fun quotient, making the listening experience more interesting and enjoyable.
