Check new Samsung One UI volume bar in concept
One UI requires major renovations as Samsung has just brought refinements for a few years. In a recent development, we get to see a volume bar concept for One UI software, which Samsung should watch and consider revamping the outdated interface.
Twitter user V3trox360 posted a volume bar concept which is inspired by Apple’s iOS. At present, the primary volume slider is quite thick and has no additional eye-catching stuff other than that. The concept showcases an iOS-like volume bar, which gets slimmer when you adjust the volume level.

One UI can take inspiration from iOS and bring a better variant of the volume slider as it’s one of the most used parts of the user interface. Slimmer slider will greatly increase the visibility on the display by occupying less area on the display and the animation changes will make it more intuitive.
As it’s just a concept based on the user’s imagination, it shouldn’t be appropriate to commit to the official. Meanwhile, we can hope that the next major One UI upgrade will make changes to the user interface elements such as the notification panel, quick settings, and volume bar.
Check concept video below:

One UI 5.1 Volume Slider
Talking about Samsung’s volume adjustment bar, the media volume bar appears when you push the physical button. You can either adjust the volume level through the physical buttons or use the slider displayed on the screen for the same.
Not that all, but you can expand the options by tapping on the hamburger menu at the top of the slider UI. Once done, you will get access to more volume settings that can be adjusted through display swipes such as media, ringtone, and system sound.
