Samsung Galaxy S23 April 2023 UI Update: New animation, volume panel tweaks

Published

Samsung Core Services May 2024 update

Samsung has recently started the April 2023 update rollout to the Galaxy S23 series in Europe, which also brings UI tweaks, spotted by @Vetrox360. The latest firmware installs a new animation effect in the App Drawer interface, while the Volume Panel brings back the Dynamic Color feature.

Both UI tweaks can be easily noticed on your Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphone, after installing the April 2023 update. Since the software is available in South Korea and Europe so far, we expect the US availability by this week on both carrier-locked and unlocked channels.

Samsung Galaxy S23 UI Tweaks April 2023

App Drawer Animation:

April update added a new cool animation, which becomes visible when you uninstall an application from your smartphone. As soon as you trigger an app uninstall, the icon smoothly disappears from the App Drawer and the next app icon takes a prior place to fill the gap.

Volume Panel:

With the One UI 5.1 update, Samsung mistakenly removed the Volume Panel’s ability to paint itself in Dynamic Color theming, derived from app icons and home/lock screen wallpaper. April’s OTA fixes the mistake and Volume Controls now again adopted the Material You design language.

Smoother Visuals and Animation:

Apart from camera improvements, Galaxy S23 series users also reported that the overall UI now feels a bit smoother. The visual effects now have better functionality, while additionally smoother animation takes the user experience to the next level.

The Galaxy S23 series is powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor. The chipset is breaking records in performance and power efficiency, thanks to Samsung’s close collaboration with Qualcomm. The company is expected to use the same chipset in its next-gen foldable phones.

Samsung One UI 6.1 update issue

Samsung encountered issues with the One UI 6.1 software update for its Galaxy S22 series and has temporarily suspended it. Recently, the company started releasing the One UI 6.1 update in Korea. However, the Korean tech giant has reportedly stopped the update due to some issues and reverted to the previous version One UI 6.0.

According to the information via @Tarunvats, the One UI 6.1 update has been suspended for the Samsung Galaxy S22 series due to the lock screen issue. In addition, the software version has also changed back from S90xNKSU3EXDC to S90xNKSU3DXD3. In addition, some reports reveal that the update is paused due to a rebooting issue.

One UI 6.1 update was released to bring a host of improvements, including a more intuitive interface and advanced AI capabilities. However, the lock screen and rebooting issues have delayed these benefits for users worldwide.

Currently, it’s unclear when the One UI 6.1 update will be available again, especially for users in other countries. Samsung is likely working on resolving the issue to ensure that the update is secure and functions properly before releasing it again.
