Samsung One UI is Samsung's own skin for smartphones and tablets with Androidem. It's one of the most popular add-ons, mainly because the Korean tech giant is the best-selling smartphone brand in the world. But what exactly is One UI and how does it differ from the regular one Androidu?
The One UI superstructure came only in 2018 and it was a clear big departure from previous forms. It featured a cleaner, clearer interface where, as smartphones grew in size, the software paid special attention to one-handed use, a design element that Google only recently started to introduce into the user interface of its Pixels.
Some of the new features in One UI 5
Since its debut, One UI has been constantly evolving, with Samsung regularly updating the look with new features and UI improvements. However, like almost any software, we still find some bugs here - for example, excessive battery draining of devices with the current One UI 5.1. Nevertheless, the company shows that it listens to its customers and is committed to constantly improving (and fixing) the user experience.
TouchWiz and Samsung Experience
Samsung's software has come a long way since the early attempts at TouchWiz and the Samsung Experience. The colorful but confusing and slow TouchWiz has been a staple of Samsung devices since before the company launched its first smartphone Galaxy S. After redesigning the look and making substantial changes to its user interface with an emphasis on minimalism, Samsung Experience was born. The new software debuted with the launch of the series Galaxy S8. Although it had a cleaner and more streamlined look than TouchWiz, it still suffered from many pains.
