A verified network whistleblower under the nickname Ice Universe claimed that Samsung has finally managed to make the animations in One UI very smooth. He quotes blogger Tarun Vats (Tarun Vats), who compared the animations of the opening and closing programs on the Samsung Galaxy S23 and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The author of the comparison noted that the new Samsung flagship equals the iPhone in terms of animation fluency. OneUI 5.1 fixed animation delays.

Perfect in the end, during this time I was constantly criticizing Samsung’s animation almost daily, but now I am very satisfied. Ice Universe

Also Ice Universe brought another comparison on Weibo available at this link.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is based on Android 13 and comes with One UI 5.1 skin with minor updates compared to the previous version. In One UI 5.1, Samsung has updated its Expert RAW app, which allows users to capture, edit and export photos in the appropriate RAW format.

One UI 5.1 includes a weather widget as well as a new battery widget. The Remaster feature in the Samsung Gallery app has also been improved. It uses artificial intelligence to identify problems with images and then corrects those flaws. It can now restore GIF files to improve their resolution and reduce compression.

Ice Universe was the first to fully describe the new trend for waterfall screen smartphones, the explosions on the iPhone X, the new design of the iPhone 14 with the Dynamic Island cutout, and the various 200 megapixel image sensors.
