It seems like OneUI 6 is coming soon. However with the screenshots of the control centre UI, it seems like the ‘one handed’ UI focus is disappearing as more UI elements are brought higher…
Love how Samsung still fight to keep a11 quick settings instead of bending to the new one
Pretty much the only reason I didn’t get a pixel when I recently bought a new phone.
From that small screenshot it actually looks pretty nice
I can’t stand reskins on android. Launcher you can change,but system not,without bootloader unlocks at least. The bloat is real and a bitch to get rid of and even if you adb it,you still have the overall android reskin.
Why do these companies feel the need to bloat android to such extent is beyond me.
I used to hate Samsung’s previous design, but OneUI isn’t that bad and ads some genuinely better things than stock Android. That being said, I do miss some of the simplicity of stock, plus the genuine speed/responsiveness that it brings.

Branding. Aesthetic decisions made by big companies are usually about creating brand awareness or some other corpo bullshit like that.
I like and use a lot of the added features and my phone is plenty fast enough to handle them. I don’t see the problem with this so called bloatware.
There’s a very vocal Samsung-hating bandwagon on every Android related community. Generally these people never used a Samsung device before or they’re Pixel fanboys and bloat is everything that’s not made by Google and just want to embrace the barebonesness of AOSP.
Those are a lot of wrong assumptions you made there.
I for one used at least 2 or 3 Samsung devices in the past and they all felt bloated,down to the fact that Samsung had both gdrive and one drive as system apps,plus their own Samsung services bloated straight into Android.
Now really,who wouldn’t call that bloat?
I don’t really view that as much different from supporting both SMB and NFS on the same device by default.
There are normal bloatware that’s totally cool like Samsung Keyboard or Galaxy Store and there are infuriating one like Facebook.
Meh, I just removed some of the pre-installed stuff I don’t need (like 4 apps) when I first got the phone and have never had to deal with anything since. If it makes the phone cheaper I’ll happily go through that effort.
Nobody says you shouldnt be allowed to install and use the bloat yourself. But I want to be allowed to not have it on the phone. I am tech savy enough to remove a lot of it via adb but I know many people aren’t.
