Samsung One UI is a graphical extension used in Samsung devices. The Korean manufacturer has been using it since the beginning of 2019, and its latest version 2.0 powers the manufacturer' s flagships, including phones Samsung Galaxy S10 or Samsung Galaxy Note10. At first glance, you will recognize the interface thanks to its simplicity and elegance. After all, the manufacturer focuses on efficiency and style. Samsung One UI 2.0 is based on the Android 10 operating system and offers users gestures, Always On display, dark mode and other goodies. What does it offer to users?
One of the main features of the Samsung One UI, which the user immediately notices, is a good look. It is a subjective theme, but only a few extensions look so clean and elegant. One UI reflects on era and you can notice it on every level, from the locked screen to customized applications.
The latest version of the OneUI 2.0 interface has been cleaned up a bit more. This is a random example. Clearer camera environment, automatic change of text color on the locked screen (so that the inscriptions do not disappear) and several other minor changes.
The favorite feature of One UI is the dark mode, which is supported by the extension and which fits perfectly onto AMOLED displays, with which Samsung equips its mid- and high-end phones. Not only you lower the impact technology has on your eyes, you can also dramatically reduce battery consumption. AMOLED shuts down almost completely in dark places. Newer versions of One UI 2.0 have introduced redesigned notifications that take up less space and much less disrupte user activity.
One UI collects additional points with its very good optimization for phones with a large display and resolution. Are you thinking that it should be a matter of fact? For example Huawei does not contain such optimalized system.

However, in some cases, Samsung One UI 2.0 also has partial problems. Some users complain of significantly lower battery life and phone connectivity issues. User interface optimization could also be improved, e. g. when using a split display, where not all elements are displayed perfectly. We hope that Samsung will catch these flies in time. Despite a few shortcomings, however, there is no significant improvement over previous One UI extensions.
The great power of One UI is also the software equipment. The extension has pre-installed a lot of exclusive applications that cannot be officially obtained from another platform. They are e. g. SmartThings driver, Samsung Health or Bixby voice assistant (not very useful in Czech Republic). The One UI 2.0 version also brought a nicely made recorder that can record the phone screen, including the sounds of applications or voice from the microphone, or accessibility for the deaf.
Samsung DeX applications also have a place in Samsung mid-range and high-end phones. It allows you to connect your brand' s phone to a computer in two ways. You can either download the phone' s interface to a computer to control the phone via a monitor, or you can use the device as a touchpad to control the computer. Previously, to use the DeX function, it was necessary to purchase a special DeX Station or a DeX Cable. Today, if you' re not just connecting to a standalone monitor, a Windows program will suffice. The efficiency is also increased by the special function of the floating windows, which is almost unique in extensions.
As part of common pre-installed applications, users will receive a Microsoft Office package or a “ubiquitous“ antivirus program McAfee. But that' s more or less all from the prepared software, so it can be seen that Samsung has improved since the last Samsung Experience and reduced the number of pre-installed applications.
The latest version of the Samsung One UI 2.0 graphics extension was released in March 2019, so you will find it especially on Samsung phones manufactured after this date. However, earlier devices also receive it in the update. Which phones have One UI?
As with any phone (especially after longer use), your Samsung may start being intermittent. However, you can prolong its life with a few simple procedures.
If we talk about modern graphic extension, the main role in the history of Samsung was played mainly by TouchWiz and Samsung Experience.
Samsung One UI (latest version 3.0) is exactly what you would expect from a modern extension. Clean design, lots of useful features and a minimum of uselessness. If you don' t require pure Android, but a system with a thoughtful graphic jacket, you will like the One UI on Samsung phones.
