5 Features Of Samsung's One UI That Are Better Than Stock Android

Samsung has come a long way from the days of TouchWiz. Its latest UI, simply called One, is a clean, lightweight experience that offers many features that you won’t find in stock Android 9.0 Pie. One UI is available now for the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+, S9, S9+, Note9, and Note8.

BETTER ONE-HANDED USABILITY

As screens get larger and larger, it’s becoming increasingly harder to use your phone one-handed. Samsung is tackling that problem with a new approach that splits the screen into two sections: a viewing area at the top, and an interaction area at the bottom.

When you open an app, content is displayed in the top half, while any interactive buttons are at the bottom, within easy reach. For example, open the native Messages app and you’ll see a bubble at the bottom that opens up your recent conversations and contacts when tapped.
