You Shouldn’t Wait for One UI 6 (Android 14) on These Samsung Galaxy Phones
One of the big changes in One UI 6 is that the customization layer is already based on Android 14, which will mean that the Samsung software is renewed twice, both by the operating system and by the customization layer. That means that there are a multitude of novelties in various aspects of the phone:
- Lock screen: we will be free to place the watch on the screen.
- Home screen: the names of the apps will be on a single line, and Samsung’s own apps will simplify their names.
- Notification panel: there will be many changes here. The buttons have been redesigned, we will be able to access the entire panel immediately (without swiping twice), access to the screen brightness will be facilitated, the design of the notifications has been improved, etc.

- Gallery: It is another of the aspects with the most improvements. We will be able to save stickers created from images, the recognition and experience of slide content will be improved, and the photo editor will add functionalities such as “undo” and “redo”, in addition to improving its own interface.
