Redefined Aesthetics

The user interface has been refined. There's a fresh default font and newly designed icons. These visual tweaks also extend to the icon labels. Moreover, users can now modify the lock screen clock, either enlarging its display or changing its position.

Quick Panel Changes

The Quick Panel, which users often pull down from the top of their screen, has seen some reorganization. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth buttons are now prominently placed at the top.

The brightness slider, which was earlier in the middle, has found a new home at the bottom of this panel.

New Video Player in One UI 6

One UI 6 brings forth the Studio video player. To access this, users should head to their Gallery app and enable it. This video player provides editing capabilities, but currently, it supports up to FHD quality videos only.

Additional Features

Samsung has infused this update with several other features. The weather widget has a new look. Samsung Health, an app for wellness and fitness tracking, has been updated with a sleeker design.

Interestingly, the Airplane mode now allows Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to stay on, a change from its traditional functionality. Lastly, in the settings menu, the Battery section is now conveniently placed next to the Display settings.

Update Availability

Samsung plans to make the One UI 6 update available to a broader range of devices soon. If you're using a Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Ultra, or Galaxy S23 Plus, the update should be coming your way shortly. After this, other Samsung devices are expected to join the list.
