There are still major problems with animations, there are still delays, and they are still not as good as the animations of One UI 4.1.1. pic.twitter.com/rZdCAxcsMl— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) September 20, 2022

The latest information (via Ice Universe) suggests the third beta of Samsung One UI 5.0 will improve the animations compared to the current beta version. But the animations will not be fully improved, some issues will still be active such as in the jumping animation. The company may release third One UI 5.0 beta update anytime in the next week for Galaxy S22 smartphones.
One UI Beta 3 has improved a lot. Thank you to the staff. However, there is still an uncomfortable problem, which I call "jump animation". now I say so much , and I will explain it in detail next week's Beta 3.

According to the tipster IceUniverse, Samsung is going to release the third One UI 5 Beta update for Galaxy S22 devices in a few days. With the third One UI 5 beta update, the company will improve the animation compared to the current version but it will only be partially improved, which means that some issues will still be alive such as in the jumping animation.
I saw the animation for the current version of One UI Beta3, it's partially improved, but still has issues, jumping animations, it's a few days away from the release of Beta3, hopefully it continues to improve.

Going forward, the tipster has also revealed that the company will continue to make regular improvements in animation smoothness which means that in the next beta updates [after One UI 5.0 beta 3], animation issues may get resolved.
Earlier, it was reported that the Galaxy S22 series’s third One UI 5.0 Beta update will release this week with improvements in the animation smoothness area. At present, the animation experiences of the One UI 5.0 Beta are too away from perfection and far behind from the One UI 4.1 and One UI 4.1.1.

Battery Status (circles)
This widget design has a circular ring filled with green color and expands as per the percentage of the battery. Inside the circle, the element also features a device icon and percentage in text for even better understanding. Notably, the Green ring also turns to Red when the battery reaches a down level.
Battery Status (List)
This Smart Suggestions-like looking widget also delivers the battery status of Galaxy ecosystem devices such as smartphone, smartwatch, earbuds, and S Pen. In a list format, the widget box has a header entitled Battery, followed by the battery status of devices with elements like icon, device name, battery bar, and percentage in text.
Interestingly, both widgets look like trimmed-down versions of the ones available in the Apple iOS operating system. Talking about usability, Samsung managed to deliver the same in less space on the screen so you can take full advantage of the display on a single page.
