Animations

System Animation is the biggest concern of the One UI 5.0 software system. Yet again, Samsung mentioned that it has improved the system animation functionality with the fourth One UI 5.0 Beta update. Meanwhile, it’s yet to be verified how much the company improved animations.

The changelog of the Galaxy S22’s fourth One UI 5.0 Beta suggests that the frame drop issue when jumping from widgets to the homescreen is getting fixed. However, we expect other aspects of the software system will get enhancements, especially for the animations.

[RIP] Multi-user feature

Samsung One UI 5.0 Beta 4 update removes the multi-user profiles feature from the Galaxy S22 series devices. It was earlier expected to go live for more models with Public Samsung Android 13 release but the company discontinued it due to major bugs.

Once again, Galaxy smartphone users are required to wait for an unspecified time for the multi-user feature. It’s worth mentioning that Samsung tablets already offer the multi-user feature, which was initially debuted on Pixel phones nearly a decade ago.

Important changes

Talking about bug fixes, the Galaxy S22’s One UI 5.0 Beta 4 improves the Gallery app so you can add or remove favorites and recent items in the Album. Moreover, it solves the issue of the automatic launch of random functions in some cases along with the virtual vibration/beep issue that occurs continuously.

Users reported having crashing issues while accessing the app folder and wallpapers interface, which is now being fixed with the fourth One UI 5.0 Beta update. The 3rd Beta brought a whole new Wallpapers section, but it was not accessible due to continuous crashing problems.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra users were facing issues in using the S Pen Air Command feature occasionally, which are now being improved to offer the best possible user experiences. Object Eraser, Shadow Eraser and Reflection Eraser apps stopped working with the 3rd Beta installation, which will now be becoming accessible again.

Note: The update is initially rolling out in South Korea, and Samsung will soon expand it to more markets.

Samsung Galaxy S23 One UI 6.1 update

In addition to South Korea and Germany, Samsung has now launched the Android 14-based One UI 6 Beta in the US. Users of carrier-unlocked or T-Mobile branded Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, or S23 Ultra smartphones can now sign up to get the Beta firmware via OTA.

It’s worth mentioning that the One UI 6 Beta is only available for T-Mobile and carrier-unlocked Galaxy S23 models in the US. This means Verizon, AT&T, US Cellular, and other carrier users have no other option than waiting for the official rollout.

One UI 6 Beta comes with a redesigned Quick Panel, which looks stunning and well-crafted for accessibility. The animations are also tweaked but require further optimization as the current situation of transition effects is not up to the mark.

In a recent Newsroom article, the South Korean tech giant confirmed that the One UI 6 Beta is equipped with more new customization capabilities. The design is simple and eye-catching, which will surely enhance the everyday operations of Galaxy devices.
