One UI is a user interface (UI) developed by Samsung Electronics for its smart devices including Android devices running Android 9 and later. Succeeding Samsung Experience, it is designed to make using larger smartphones easier and be more visually appealing. It was announced at Samsung Developer Conference in 2018,[4] and was unveiled in Galaxy Unpacked in February 2019 alongside the Galaxy S10 series, Galaxy Buds and the Galaxy Fold.
It is also the software layer for their smartwatch Tizen and Wear OS platform, which Samsung co-developed with Google.[5][6] As of 2021, it is also the software layer for the Microsoft Windows platform on Galaxy Book devices.
Features
[edit]One UI was designed as part of a goal to make Samsung's hardware and software "work together in perfect harmony" and provide a more "natural" experience on large-screen smartphones. One UI displays most of the features[7] that were in the Samsung Experience UX. A prominent design pattern in many of Samsung's system applications is to intentionally place common features and user interface elements along the middle of the screen rather than near the top. This makes them easier to reach with a user's thumb when using the device one-handed.
For similar reasons, apps utilise large headers to push their main content towards the vertical centre of the screen. The navigation bar supports the use of gestures and the usual 3-button system, while a system-wide "night mode" was also added (which gives UI elements and supported applications a darkened color scheme). As with Android Pie upstream, the Overview screen of recent apps uses a horizontal layout, as opposed to the vertical layout of previous versions.[8][9][10][11]
One UI Core
[edit]One UI Core was a slimmed down version of the original One UI feature set aimed towards the lower-priced A, F, J, and M series low and mid-range devices. Devices running One UI Core typically have a reduced set of features compared to the full version of One UI running on higher end devices.[12]

Version history
[edit]One UI 1
[edit]One UI 1.0 is the first version of One UI and is based on Android 9 "Pie". It brought about many features which were becoming increasingly popular among various apps. First and foremost, dark mode was added to make viewing in dark spaces easier on the user's eyes. This feature was included in many apps and eventually brought to iOS 13 and Android 10. The first version also brought native screenshot editing tools, refined curves, refinements to the Always-On Display (tap to show), an upgraded Bixby with support for remapping the Bixby button, and a new way to navigate the device: gestures released on December 19, 2018.
While Android 9 “Pie” did come with gesture support, it was only available on Pixel devices and stock AOSP devices and is said to be 'half baked' by many users. However, Samsung decided to create their own gesture system to navigate devices with One UI installed. To achieve this, the user has to swipe up from the bottom of the device in the three locations of the 'buttons' to navigate. The gesture system has received mixed reviews.[25][26][27] The incoming call screen got refinements. One UI 1.0 was released on 7 November 2018.
One UI 1.1 brought a stability fixes and performance optimizations, primarily for the camera, fingerprint reader, and facial recognition.[28] One UI 1.1 was released alongside the Galaxy S10 series. This update is not available on the Galaxy S8 series and Galaxy Note8.
One UI 1.5 provided a native screen recorder, a "Power Mode" for higher system performance and exclusive early access Link to Windows support in cooperation with Microsoft.[29] It launched with the Galaxy Note10 series devices on 23 August 2019.
One UI 2
[edit]One UI 2.0 is the second version of One UI and is powered by Android 10.[30] It provides Galaxy users with a skinned Digital Wellbeing experience, a more refined UI in some default apps such as Device Care, a minor UI change to the clock position in quick settings, a native screen recorder, the new Android 10 gesture system, Dynamic Lock Screen (different wallpaper with every unlock), a Trash folder in Files, native Android Auto, and harder Location permission access. The incoming call screen got improvements, including the phone icons.
Also the app icons got more vibrant hues. The app icons changed hues from darker hues to bright hues, which giving it a more look & feel. The phone call icons got a more modern look & feel. From 1.0 call icon to a new call icon, giving it a more modern look. The viewing area & the interaction area got moved. The viewing area got moved up from the bottom going away from the search & the 3 dots icon & the interaction area got moved up from the top to get the search & the 3 dots icon to the area so everyone could touch the icons. The folders got better reachability. The folder name got moved inside the folder to outside the folder. The gesture navigation got updates. The gesture navigation got edited from 3 _ _ _ to 1 _ on the center bottom. One UI 2 was released on 29 October 2019.
One UI 2.1 brought support for 120 Hz refresh rate, Quick Share, Music Share, additional camera modes, and native support for Live Captions. It was first released with the Galaxy S20 series & the Galaxy Z Flip. It also arrived for older devices such as the Galaxy S9 and S10, Note 9 and Note 10,[31] the Galaxy Fold, and select Galaxy A series[32] devices as a software update starting February 24, 2020.
One UI 2.5 was initially released on 21 August 2020 with the launch of the Galaxy Note 20 series, with the update later being released for the Galaxy S20 series along with older Samsung phones. One UI 2.5 doesn't bring radical changes to the UI, but there are plenty of new feature additions to the camera, DeX, gesture navigation, and other services.[33][34][35]
One UI 3
[edit]One UI 3.0, based on Android 11, was released for Galaxy S20 devices beginning on 2 December 2020. The update includes a few noteworthy improvements, such as a translucent notification panel, brief notifications, new volume controls positioned on the right or left of the device alongside the physical volume keys, slightly enhanced widgets, redesigned incoming call screen, and smoother animations and transitions throughout the whole UI among other features.[36][37][38]
One UI 3.1 first released with the Galaxy S21 series, has started rolling out to other supported Galaxy devices, starting with the Galaxy S20 series on 17 February 2021. There are no notable user interface changes. It contains many new camera feature improvements such as improved touch autofocus and auto exposure controller and improved Single Take feature and software implementations such as Object Eraser, Multi Mic Recording, Eye Comfort Shield, Private Share and others.[39]
One UI 3.1.1 first released with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 on 11 August 2021. It made multitasking easier with enhanced multi-window and task-switching features and also optimized more apps to take advantage of the large screen devices such as foldables and tablets. As such it was only released to eligible Galaxy Z series and Galaxy Tab series devices. The new features were rolled out to all supported devices but bar-type phones continued to show their software version as One UI 3.1 after the update.
One UI 4
[edit]One UI 4.0, based on Android 12, is the fourth generation of One UI. It was released to the Galaxy S21 series on 15 November 2021. One UI 4.0 focuses on customization, privacy, and access to Samsung's expanding ecosystem.[40][41]

One UI 4.1.1 is based on Android 12L which optimized the Android OS for alternative form factors such as foldables. It first released with the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 on August 23, 2022. This update also adds further Samsung specific enhancements to multitasking and optimizations for foldable smartphones (Galaxy Z Fold line) and large screen tablets (Galaxy Tab line).[43] Even though the new features made it to supported bar-type phones One UI 4.1.1, like One UI 3.1.1, was only officially rolled out to the Galaxy Z series and Galaxy Tab series.
One UI 5
[edit]One UI 5.0, based on Android 13, was announced on 12 October 2022, as the fifth generation of One UI. It was publicly released to the Galaxy S22 series first starting 24 October 2022 with other supported devices following later.[44]
Some features and changes include the ability to turn off the RAM Plus feature, where previously users could only limit it to 2 GB rather than turning it off entirely, and a redesigned way of customizing the lock screen, similar to iOS 16. Material You was also expanded to most of Google and Samsung Apps along with some third-party apps that support material you, allowing more ways to customize One UI. One UI 5 also brings refreshed icons for a more-refined look across the UI.

Other new features include a new default font, called One UI Sans, new emojis and an improved multitasking experience. Built-in Samsung applications such as the Camera app, Gallery, Photo Editor, Weather among others have also received updates to add more functionality and customization.[49]
One UI 6.1 was released on 17 January 2024 with the Galaxy S24 series. This update mainly includes new AI-based features that are exclusive to the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S24, Galaxy Z5, and Tab S9 series. These features are marketed as "Galaxy AI" and rely on a combination of local models and cloud-based models. In mainland China, the cloud partner is Baidu providing its Ernie model,[50] while in international markets (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), the cloud partner is Google providing its Gemini Pro model.[51]
Features coming to all applicable devices include enhanced battery protection designed to prevent battery degradation, SuperHDR for photos in the Gallery and on social media apps like Instagram and Snapchat, and the option to show the lock screen wallpaper on Always On Display. Simultaneously the merger of Samsung's Quick Share and Google's Nearby Share feature were announced allowing all Galaxy users fast file transfer with all Android and Windows devices using a single solution.[52][53]
While not released alongside One UI 6.1, Samsung implemented Google's A/B seamless update technology with the release of the Galaxy A55. This works by installing updates to a secondary system partition that the device boots from whenever it is restarted.[54][55]
