Samsung officially unveiled One UI 6 at its annual developer conference, Samsung Developer Conference, which the company hosted in San Francisco. New user interface works on Android 14 and we’ve already had a chance to see its main news from the beta version that’s been running for the past few months.
To put you in context, if you don’t know what this is all about, let’s say that the vast majority of the countless manufacturers who license the Android operating system add additional layers of software as a way to personalize your devices and differentiate them from the competition. Some do it lightly and others completely change the user interface and add apps and services as an alternative to Google.
As Samsung continues to be the largest seller of mobile phones in the world (it is also at the forefront of tablets or wearable devices) and has 600 million registered users according to the data the company showed at the Samsung Developer Conference, it can understand the importance of this development, which will update tens of millions of devices. Apart from Google itself and its rival Apple, it is the manufacturer that invests the most in software.
One UI 6, news
As well as the Android 14 it runs on and the One Ui 5.1 news, Samsung has focused on developing main areas such as better usability, app updates, more optimized feature designs, wider customization options and the ever important area of security.
In this regard, we must highlight the better management of bloatware, the Knox Matrix platform and changes in access keys with compatibility with Credential manager and Access keys, which simplifies the authentication process and improves security compared to typical passwords. Android, like Windows, is committed to ka a future without passwords.
The the user interface It has also undergone a major overhaul in terms of the appearance of the notifications and quick settings panel. There’s also a new default font, new emoticons, a new custom camera widget that allows you to preset the camera mode and storage location, as well as the ability to set different lock screens depending on the user’s current mode and routine.
Other improvements come from automatic change in dual SIM systems; optimization of applications on folding devices; scaling system text up to 200% or reserving foreground services only for higher priority tasks. Note that Samsung has expanded the capabilities of its Bixby virtual assistant to work in multi-device environments and the “SmartThings” smart home ecosystem it has been promoting, which connects from mobile phones to TVs.
