News & Reviews:   One UI

Like all Android brands, Samsung offers multiple years of free updates to its custom One UI OS, which is now at version 6.1. Previously, it was only available on the latest Samsung Galaxy S24 series. However, Samsung recently released the One UI 6.1 update to previous-generation Galaxy devices as well. The latest version is now available for selected Galaxy S series, Galaxy Z Fold series, Galaxy Z Flip series, and Galaxy Tab S series devices.

If you are a Samsung smartphone enthusiast, this news might surprise you. Recently, a few users reported that older Samsung phones experienced a green line issue after its software update. That said, what should you know about it?

After recently releasing the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 beta for the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung has now also made the beta available for the Galaxy S21 series. Currently available in South Korea, owners of either the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+ or Galaxy S21 Ultra can now test out the new OS.

Samsung found a new subtle way to roast Apple by asking iPhone users to try the One UI. The company has an official landing page to promote a feature that allows iPhone users to explore the Samsung Galaxy One UI, messages, and camera features.

Among all the Android OS, Samsung's One UI is probably one of the better software that provides regular updates over time. Just recently, Sammobile.com managed to dig up some information about One UI 5.0 which is the next iteration.

With the release of Android 12, smartphone manufacturers have started working on custom skins for their devices. For Samsung, the beta of One UI 4.0 became available earlier this month and adds plenty of new features. Interestingly, the custom skin will also be available for non-mobile devices.

If you recall, Android 12 was officially released yesterday. Smartphone brands were quick to announce custom UIs based on the new version. OPPO, Xiaomi, and realme already have their versions, and now Samsung is part of this gang with One UI 4.0 beta.

For Samsung smartphone users, the company's One UI is among the top Android skins these days. In the latest One UI 3, there are even cool features like Multi-Active Window. Now, Samsung is gearing up for the release of the next big version - One UI 4.
