Revamped Quick Panel
From looks, Samsung has radically upgraded the One UI with its 6th iteration. The Quick Panel is completely revamped, taking inspiration from Android and One UI together. Toggles are now arranged in different sections, focussing on user convenience.
Direct access to Quick Settings
Another notable change that Samsung made to the Quick Panel is the ease of access. Now, you can directly access the extended Quick Panel, thanks to the new toggle. In Settings, there’s a new toggle that allows you to make the extended Quick Settings accessible with a single right swipe.
Custom Camera Widget
Custom Camera Widget is a stunning addition to the One UI 6 Beta, which takes all the camera elements to the home screen. If you are a photography lover and mostly use specific camera modes, you can now take them all on the home screen and a single tap will take you to your desired space.
Chromecast screen sharing
In One UI 6, Samsung’s Smart View Labs section now shows for everyone without jumping through any hoops, and Chromecast support is one of the toggles in the menu. Once enabled, this new feature makes casting to a Chromecast a smooth experience.
Enhanced Weather app
One UI 5 brought a redesigned and dynamic Weather application, which is now further refined in the One UI 6. You may have noticed spammy bugs – news or videos while scrolling across the app to check the weather. The latest iteration ends the space for ads and you will only get useful info about local weather.
