Samsung’s Android 13-based One UI 5.0 software is here with a handful of new features and multiple improvements over the previous One UI. I have caught so many changes on my Galaxy phone after installing One UI 5.0 and I’m sure you’ve noticed too. So, what is your favorite and least favorite thing about Samsung One UI 5?
In my opinion, Samsung is really concerned about offering better functions for those who have chosen to dive into the One UI 5.0. The new software is a visual upgrade from the One UI 4.1 that offers many user interface improvements, smoother animations, and faster performance.

The biggest visual change to the interface has to do with Material You theming, including the calling menu, volume picker, and One UI apps. You now get 16 Color Palette options to choose the perfect theme for your phone that is based on your wallpaper. And the best part about this integration is that you can disable the color palette entirely, in case you want to.

The company further introduces tweaks to the Notification panel that now has large app icons with much better readability. On the other side, the “active apps in background” function in the Recent menu is also very useful, you can easily identify which apps are consuming battery when you are not using your device.
Besides refining the overall design aesthetic, the company also brings many new features that make the interface that much more usable. You’ll find impressive tweaks to the Wallpaper and Style section, some new customization features that let you completely revamp the look and feel of your lock screen, and new gestures for multitasking.
There’s also an Extract text feature, which will let you directly copy text from images, screenshots, and banners and paste it into messages, and notes. The Per-app language feature is also great when you like to use different apps in different languages.
In addition to these, the Camera app is getting significant changes with the addition of a new customizable Camera Watermark feature, Help guide in Pro mode, Historogram, improved Single Take, and more.
Other than these, the Settings app is getting three new menus to provide you with easier access to certain functions, these include Connected devices, Modes and Routines, and Security and Privacy.

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.
