Samsung will introduce Android 14-based One UI 6.0 software for Galaxy devices this year. One UI is a mature software and the company is strictly maintaining the naming strategy. Galaxy fans can confirm that the next version will be One UI 6 as there’s no rocket science behind this.
One UI 6.0
Flagship Samsung devices ranging from the Galaxy S21 series to the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 foldables are eligible for the One UI 6.0 update, based on Android 14. In addition, there are a lot of Galaxy handsets launched with Android 12, which are also on the list!
One UI 6 is becoming the biggest reason forcing me to purchase the S23 Ultra, but, I’ll continue using my S22 Ultra as a daily driver. Upgrade to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will be highly fruitful for me since Samsung won’t be taking much time to expand One UI 6 Beta for older models.
One UI 6.0 Features
All the Security and Privacy related features and improvements of Android 14 will be included with the One UI 6.0 update. Samsung doesn’t rely on Google’s Android when it comes to the user interface as Galaxies offer the best and clean user experience with One UI.
We are too away from the One UI 6’s tentative development timeline, but, Samsung should now work on app icons, stock launcher, quick settings panel, and notification panel. Most users want a radically renovated user interface in One UI, as it’s continuing with refinements and refinements.
Update: Apr. 21 | Samsung mod revealed that One UI 6.0 update will bring support for the Camera Assistant app to Galaxy A series smartphones.

Samsung One UI 6 might bring iPhone-like battery health feature

Samsung One UI 6 might bring a new battery health feature to Galaxy devices as Android 14 adds supported APIs. This feature is inspired by Apple iPhone, which allows the user to check how much mileage (health) their phone’s battery left in percentage.
The better battery health the better your smartphone performs. In addition, battery health is a key player when you Apple users sell their used iPhones. Android 14 adds new APIs, using which developers can get battery health data and show up through the application.

As the change spotted in API, Google might introduce this feature into the system Settings itself. As Samsung adopts almost all the bells and whistles of Android, the One UI 6 is likely to come with this new battery health feature. Meanwhile, there’s no confirmation, whether or not this new function will officially arrive.
Mishaal Rahman spotted that the company has added some APIs in Android 14, which can pass on key battery details such as manufacturing date, date of first use, charging policy, state of health, cycle count, and charging status. Since the feature is not visible in Android 14, an app would do the work for you.
Select smartphones are running the Android 14 test build, which supports the open-source battery health check app called Batt. This shows you the number of charging cycles you’ve undertaken on the phone, while battery health percentage data requires an ADB command.

The source further said that this data may not be perfect as the change is still under development. If the Android maker founds it useful and user-friendly, Android 14 would surely be equipped with a battery health checker during the official release.
