Samsung One UI 6.0: Key Features

Quick Panel

The Quick Panel in One UI 6 sees a revamped layout that prioritises user-favourite features. Notably, the top of the screen now features dedicated buttons for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, ensuring better management of connectivity. Visual elements like Dark Mode and Eye Comfort Shield have been repositioned to the bottom, providing users with a more convenient access point. The middle section allows for customisation of other quick settings buttons, catering to the user’s preferences.

Home and Lock Screen

The Home Screen experience is streamlined in One UI 6, with a focus on aesthetic simplicity. App icon labels are now confined to a single line, delivering a cleaner and more straightforward appearance. Furthermore, for enhanced readability and concise app names, “Galaxy” and “Samsung” have been omitted from certain app titles. For users who prefer gesture navigation, the option to automatically hide the taskbar is available.

Moreover, One UI 6 grants users greater flexibility to personalise their Lock Screen, including the ability to reposition the clock to their preferred location.

Typeface

One UI 6 introduces a new default font that embodies a more stylish and modern aesthetic. This updated typeface not only elevates the overall visual appeal of the user interface but also imparts a contemporary touch to textual elements throughout the system.

Multitasking

In One UI 6, multitasking is enhanced to offer a seamless user experience. Pop-up windows no longer minimise when accessing the Recents screen; instead, they remain open after exiting the Recents screen, allowing users to seamlessly resume their tasks.

Moreover, One UI 6 incorporates various features, including AI capabilities in the Gallery app, the multi-layer video editor known as Samsung Studio, improved camera options, and refinements in apps such as Calendar, Reminder, and Samsung Internet. The update also introduces new multitasking and productivity features, greater customizability for the home screen and other apps, along with enhanced security and privacy features.
