It’s been a few days when Samsung Shandu left One U8 son, and so far, the first impressions are positive. Although not a harsh refreshment like an UI 7, we have received many remarkable changes – from now up to updates to new vegetable customs. There is a suitable amount to like, but there is a feature that clearly stands up my number one as a favorite over the rest.
Is this the new Samsung Weather app? Latest Samsung Reminder Interface? New Galaxy buds lock screen control or better secure folders? No, no, no, no.
Are you excited to try the new 90:10 spiral for multi -tasking?

90:10 Split Screen Multi Tasking is so good

For years, Android’s spiral screen multi -tasking interface is disturbing to two important ideas: a 50:50 spiral and 70:30 spillets. Former sources are equally divided into both of your apps, while the latter allows your central app to take 70 % of your screen, while the secondary is in a very small 30 % window. 70:30 Split gives your central app a little more room to increase, but even on a giant phone like the Galaxy S25 ultra, it still feels tight in times.

Just look at the top screenshots I am talking about. 70:30 theory is objectively the best of them, but no one is particularly good. In both cases, the app you want to communicate is smaller than it is ideal, while the screen you are not actively using takes more screen real estate than needed.
90:10 partition, however, is the almost perfect solution. Here, your basic app takes almost the entire display, while the other is pushed to the top or bottom edge of your screen. One Plus has offered some similar offers for a few years with its open canvas interface, and with a UI 8, the same functionality is now available on the Samsung phone – and it is terrific.
The spiral screen multi -tasking on my Galaxy S25 is far more useful.
After playing with this 90:10 on my Galaxy S25 for the past few days, this is everything I expected. 90 % of the screen is visible in the apps and they feel the same almost to run the standstone, while taping the app while tapping into the 10 % view, changes its space with another application. It is easy to use, works without interruption, and my Galaxy S25 does the spiral screen multi -tasking, which is much more useful.
There are many cases used for this, but when I’m paying the bill, I have a personal favorite choice. I like to keep my credit card app open in a window and the calculator app in the other, and be able to bounce back between them to ensure that I know what will come out of my bank account. The Google Cap and the target app is also great for opening simultaneously, which allows me to check the items out of my shopping list quickly because I add them to my cart.
As a person who usually ignores Android’s spiral screen multi -tasking, the 90:10 view is a legal game changer. It takes it, which is otherwise a non -helpful feature and turns it into something that I wish on every Android phone. And, thankfully it will be enough soon.
The best reason to download an UI 8

What is about this updated multi -tasking is that it is not specific to an UI 8. Instead, this is a basic feature of Android 16, and that means it will be available on any phone that eventually gets updated – whether it’s a Samsung phone or not.
Is it a lot of appreciation for a slightly different multi -tasking UI? It may come like this, but once you try 90:10 sight for yourself, I think you will agree with me.
