The most personalized mobile experience to date with the new version of the operating system One UI 5, Samsung brings to its mobile phones. One UI 5 is designed to give users more options to customize their devices based on their needs — starting with communication options.

Bringing the smartphone into the lifestyle

Users, during the day, use their smart phone for different reasons. The functions they need, as stated in a related announcement, during the morning hours, for example, to start their day, may not be the same as those they use at work. With Routines, users can activate a series of One UI 5 features on their device based on their activities to create custom settings for different phases of their daily life. For example, when the user is exercising, they can mute notifications to listen to music without distraction. Alternatively, when it’s time to sleep, turning on Do Not Disturb and Dark Mode help you relax.

Samsung also improved notifications in One UI 5 to make them easier to use and read at a glance. Additionally, it offers even more defined answer and reject buttons when receiving a call through the redesigned call pop-up screen.

As noted in the announcement, along with overall design aspects, personalization and expressiveness are also key parts of the experience. One UI 5 now supports easy and varied customization right on the lock screen. With just a few moves, the user can edit a video turning their most memorable moments into a tribute on their smartphone. Also, he can customize the lock screen according to his style by changing the wallpaper, clock style and notification popups, all from one screen.

A mobile experience based on user needs

In addition to the ability to personalize the appearance of the device, One UI 5 also offers new features that help users get things done more efficiently. For example, widgets in One UI 5 feature exciting new options and the ability to keep your Home screen tidy with new Stacked widgets. This new feature allows users to drag and drop widgets on top of each other and swipe left or right to quickly and easily scroll through each, freeing up space on the Home Screen for more efficient use. To help further optimize tasks and activities for mobile devices, One UI 5 also comes with new smart suggestions for widgets. Based on usage patterns and the context of the user’s activity, smart suggestions automatically suggest apps and actions that make the mobile experience even more personalized. Now users can easily extract text from images and paste it into a note. Whether they want to jot down notes to send to a friend or save a phone number from a business card, One UI 5 makes the process easier and more productive than ever with smart text extraction.

In addition, users can control all the devices connected to their smartphone in the new Connected Devices menu, where they can access all the functions that work with other devices, such as Quick Share, Smart View and Samsung DeX .

To make sure users keep their personal information private, One UI 5 features a new notification in the sharing panel that warns users in case they accidentally share a photo that contains potentially sensitive information, such as a picture of their credit or their debit card, driver’s license, Social Security card or passport.
