6 features of other skins that I want on a user interface

A user interface has been with us for six years now, and it is easily the best Android skin that Samsung has done. A user interface is smoother, more reliable and easier to use than Samsung Experience or Touchwiz, the skins that preceded it. Aside from a BLIP with a user interface 7, it was updated faster than ever, often beating other Android skins.

The features of the user interface offer my favorite Android flavor since I used it for the first time on my Galaxy S10 Plus, but there are still things that I would like to change. Motorola, OnePlus and others added exciting features to their Android skins, and I would like to see some of them adopted by Samsung in the next version of a user interface.

It is hard to believe that it has been twelve years that the original X -ray rays have made its doors. This phone, with Moto G, shaped the future of Motorola in the following decade, and one of the best things he presented is what the company now calls kinetic gestures. The ones I want most are the two that started everything – quick torch and fast capture.

On a Motorola phone, perform a double karate chop Intolonta or extinguishes the torch, something that is incredibly useful when you get keys in the dark and you have to add light to the situation. I use this a lot on my 2023 RAZR PLUS, where this gesture is much faster than unlocking the phone and traveling fast parameters.

Quick capture opens the camera or switches between the front and rear lenses if the camera is already open. This gesture requires a double stroke of the wrist, and once you have used it, it is the easiest way to quickly launch the camera so as not to miss an important plan.

A user interface has a lot of theme options, more than Motorola, but everything is divided on too many different menus and applications. Theming icons are in the theme park, the fonts are in the settings menu and the colors of the material that you are in a menu accessible from the home screen. It is even worse in the Z Flip series of Samsung, where all the options for the cover screen are distributed over even more menus. He adds too much friction to the personalization of your Samsung phone.

Motorola did things in a simple and thoughtful way. All options for themes, icons, fonts, home screen sizes and the cover screen are in one place. Press the home screen in the long term, open the customize menu and there are all the options you may need. Of course, I miss some of the most advanced adjustments of a user interface, but the approach of Motorola aimed at any whole is more accessible for users.

Now playing is one of those small features you don’t think before using a phone that doesn’t have it. I used a Pixel 9 Pro as my daily life recently, the longest I had used a pixel since I had a 3xl, and that reminded me of how many subtle quality of quality of life that you get on pixels. Knowing which song is playing in the background wherever I am, without having to ask my phone to do it, is more practical than the alternative.

The story of the game is also great. I planned to listen to a song that I heard and wanted when I am on the go, to forget what the song was when I get home. Now playing keeps a story of the songs he hears, so I don’t have to count on my memory.

Call screening made its debut on the Pixel 3 in 2018, but I could never experience it because it did not come to the United Kingdom before 2021. When I used it with the Pixel 9 Pro recently, I could not believe how better it is than the Samsung alternative. Assistance to Samsung calls can make the basics of screening calls, transcription of conversation and live translation. But these are the extras that Google has added to call screening over the years that Samsung cannot follow.

Screening of pixels calls can expect you to peel and inform you when the person you call comes back, tell you how long the average waiting time is for a call to a company, and even the tower options of phones to be mapped and label. Samsung is well started by the call of appeal, but there is much more work to do.

I take a lot of screenshots in this work line, and I often need to censor things like my e-mail, my address and my other personal information. A user interface has a blur and pixelation tool in the gallery, but it is a manual process that can be quite messy if you do not have a pen to facilitate things. OnePlus and Oppo devices have an automatic mode fueled by AI which applies a neat blur to what it identifies as sensitive information.

It’s not perfect. In the example above, I had to censor two elements that he missed manually, but it was much less painful than having to do everything myself, and features like this will only improve with updates.

OnePlus made his debut on Open Canvas on the Open OpenPlus, and since then he has come to many devices of the company. This is a new approach to the management of mobile windows which is more intuitive and which uses the maximum of the space available on a screen. Before OnePlus introduced this, a user interface had my favorite multitasking system, but Open Canvas blew it out of the water.

Google was inspired by Open Canvas, adding a 90:10 division to several windows that you can try in a user interface 8 on the fold 7, flip 7, flip fe and the S25 series running the beta version. It is an improvement, but still does not approach what OnePlus does, and I would like to try Open Canvas on the big screen, like my Galaxy Tab S10 Plus.

A user interface 8 looks like an update of stopping. A user interface 7 has made many changes to Samsung Software, most of which were welcome, but the deployment of delayed and fragmented update has left a bitter taste. A user interface 8 promises to have a much more fluid output, but there is almost nothing new here to be excited. It seems that an IU 8 has only received minimum changes so that Samsung can push it quickly and act as a damage control for last year.

A user interface 9, each time we see it, must give us something to know, and look at other Skins OEM for inspiration, relying on what Motorola, Google and OnePlus users like in their phone, would be a good starting point.
