A UI has been with us for six years now, and it is easily made by Android Skin Samsung. An UI is smooth, more reliable, and easy to use than Samsung experience or touchways, before, skins. Except for a Bulip with an UI 7, it has been updated faster than ever, often beating other Android skins.
One of the features that provides UI has made it my favorite taste of Android because I first used it on my Galaxy S10 Plus, but there are still things I want to change. Motorola, OnePlus, and others added interesting features to their Android skins, and I would love to see some of them adopted in the next version of One UI through Samsung.
On the Samsung phone which of these features would you like to see?

Motorola: intuitive indicators
It is difficult to believe that it has been twelve years since the original Moto X -hit shelf. This phone, with Motoji, created the future of Motorola in the next decade, and the best thing it introduced is that the company now refers to dynamic gestures. The two who want the most are the two who started it all – fast torch and immediate arrest.
On the phone phone, double karate cutting the flames on the path, which is amazingly useful when you are wandering with keys in the dark and need to shed some light in the situation. I use it a lot on my 2023 Razr Plus, where this gesture is much faster than opening the phone and swaping with sharp settings.
If the camera is already open, the immediate arrest camera opens or switchs between front and back lenses. This indicator requires a double flak of the wrist, and once you get used to it, this is the easiest way to launch the camera quickly so that you do not lose any important shot.
Motorola: Easy customer
An UI has many options, more than a motorLa, but it is all divided into many different menos and apps. The themes are in the theme park, the fonts are in the menu of the settings, and your colors are in the menu obtained from the domestic screen in your colors. This is even worse on the Samsung Z Philip series, where all the core screen options are spread over even more menos. It adds a lot of friction to customizing your Samsung phone.
Motorola has gone about things in a simple, thoughtful manner. All options for themes, icons, fonts, home screen grid size, and cover screen are all in one place. Put the home screen under long pressure, open the personalized menu, and you need all the options you need. Certainly, I lose some more modern adaptations to an UI, but the approach to the list of motorolas is more accessible to users.
Pixel: Playing now

Now playing is one of the little features you don’t think unless you use a phone that doesn’t have. I recently used Pixel 9 Pro as my daily phone, when I was a 3XL owner, and he reminded me of how many subtle quality features you have on the pixels. Knowing which song I am playing in the background where I am, without asking your phone to do so, is much easier than alternatives.
Now the date of play is also very good. I planned to hear a song I heard and searched for it, just to forget that when I arrived home, I was singing. Now playing the history of the songs that hears it, so I don’t need to rely on my memories.
Pixel: Call screening

Call screening debuted on Pixel 3 in 2018, but I never had to experience it because it did not come to the UK until 2021. When I recently used with Pixel 9 Pro, I couldn’t believe how much better it was than Samsung’s replacement. Samsung’s call can do the basics of the Assistant Screening Calls, the basics of communication and direct translation. But it is an extra that Google has added to the call screening in the past years, with which Samsung cannot be maintained.
Call screening on Pixels can wait for you on the hold, and when the person you are calling, you can inform you, tell you how long the average wait time is to call in a business, and even the map and label phone tree options. Samsung call is closed for good start with Assist, but there is a lot of work to do.
One Plus: Screenshot Pixlance

I take a lot of screenshots in connection with this work, and I often need to censor things like my email, address and other personal information. An UI has a gallery fading and pixels tool, but this is a manual process that you do not have to make the pen to make things easier so it can be dirty enough. One -pulse and OPPO devices contain AI -powered auto mode, which indicates sensitive information, which applies clean fading.
This is not perfect. In the aforementioned example, I had to censor two elements that remember him manually, but it was less painful than talking itself, and such features would only be better with updates.
OnePlus: Open Canvas
One Plus launched the Open Canvas at the One Plus Open, and since then, it has come to many of the company’s equipment. This is a new approach to window management on mobile that is more intuitive and uses more than the space available on the screen. Before One Plus introduced it, an UI had my favorite multi -tasking system, but Open Canvas threw it out of the water.
Google has taken some inspiration from Open Canvas, which has added a 90:10 distribution to the multi -window that you can test in an UI 8 on the S25 series while running 7, flip 7, flip FE, and beta -run S25 series. This is an improvement, but still does not come closer to the works of One Plus, and I would love to try open canvas on a big screen like my Galaxy Tab S10 Plus.
Need to impress an UI 9
Zack Ki Danis / Android Authority
An UI 8 stop gap looks like an update. An UI 7 made huge changes to the Samsung software, most of which were welcomed, but the delayed and scattered update rollout left a bitter taste. A UI 8 is creating a very smooth release, but there is nothing new here to be excited about it. It feels as if an UI 8 has only received the least changes so that Samsung can quickly take it out of the door and work as a last year to overcome the loss.
A UI 9, whenever we see it, we need to give something to be excited, and look for other OEM skins of inspiration, highlighting what Motorola, Google, and One Plus users like about their phone will have a good place to start.
