It LOOKS and FEELS like a different phone, I’m in love like when I first got my s23u.

  • slide down quick access is so much more easier to use (especially with my huge s23u)
  • music display on lockscreen looks amazing
  • emojis look so much better!

Still discovering the other new updated aspects but WOW!

Seriously, these design choices are small, but they that make so much sense and update the phone to 2023

    Well not for us S22 users. It completely messed up our phone app usage & we’re STILL waiting for a fix! So frustrating!

    No, it does not feel and look like a different phone. As you yourself mentioned, the changes are small. The update is nice but there is no need to tout it as best thing since sliced bread.

    im complete opposite. I do not like the update

    slide down quick access is harder to use on my fold as the quick action tiles are now in the top center, they were easier to reach before

    the music display on lockscreen is nice but nothing functional changing

    i dont really use stock emojis so didnt notice a difference there

    most of all I hate how the recent apps are, very slow to change so had to turn off animations. I miss pulling up from the bottom, it vibrates, and then instantly switches to task view/recent apps

    Now instead I have to hold and then let go, there is no vibration and its much slower

      Do you have one handed operations it will make your fold or any android device 100x easier and any 6 swipes u can do from left to right actually 12 swipes left to right straight diagonally up and down and the long hold ones you can assign any command any app any pull down, apps screen ANYTHING FLASHLIGHT, turn off phone screen EVERYTHING try it. It’s been out for years.

    My biggest complaint is the lack of system color. The blue basic color is bland especially on the volume slider and quick toggles.

    Hey, S23FE user here. Updated just yesterday. So far so good. I like the touches here and there. I actually love the new playbar animation a lot, no specific reason. Also I didn’t like the task changer has only 2 options now. I used to use stack but it’s not available atm. I guess they will be adding it back in a few weeks. Also what really matters is the battery life, if it goes lower it’s a deal breaker. Will see it today.

    I’m still getting used to the new slide-down menu layout. Not the biggest fan since I’ve been used to it since 2020 when I got my S10+, but whatever. I’ll adjust. Not a deal breaker for me.

    I think what’s more annoying is that scanning QR codes seems to take a bit longer now and have to keep the camera much more still. There’s no immediate feedback if it did scan other than the tiniest pop-up (used to vibrate stronger when it did scan and the link was easier to click). Under the old OneUI, it was almost too good at scanning QR codes as it would pick up the tiniest and blurry QR code even if I didn’t intend on scanning it, but this seemed like an overcorrection. But again, something I’ll just have to adjust to.

    So far I like it.

    Animations have been worked on for the better. Stutters are happening less but it’s only been a day since I got it so no idea if it stays the same in the long run.

    I agree. It is a big step up from 5.0 and whoever says otherwise I really don’t know what is wrong with them.

    Wish they added the S20+, just got my phone about a year ago as a refurb from AT&T and it’s not on the list.

    Maye they will add this 3 year old model for Android 14 and UI 6.

    First thing I noticed is that this new quick access drawer will very often try to scroll when you swipe up to close it. Does it happen to anyone else?

    the stuff u mentioned was all previously possible with other apps but the fact that its all integrated now is sure amazing
