Samsung has finally started rolling out its new One UI 5.0 update for the Galaxy S22 series. The company was previously releasing the beta versions of its new One UI update. The new One UI update is based on Android 13. Samsung is releasing the update in a staggered manner, which means not all users might have received the latest update on their Samsung Galaxy S22 series devices.
The new One UI 5.0 update brings some visual design changes along with tools and options for customisation. The update is reportedly available for Indian users as well. Let’s take a look at the new One UI 5.0 features rolling out to Samsung Galaxy S22 series users.

Samsung has also introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to the Gallery app, which recognises text in images, allowing users to copy and paste it into other apps. New gestures, such as swiping up with two fingers to open a split screen, have been added in the new update.
Samsung has also added new features in the camera app, such as getting help in Pro mode, which also gets a histogram. The new update also provides Food mode supper for the telephoto camera.
