What’s new in OneUI 5.0
Currently, the One UI 5.0 version of the Samsung system is in its beta program and this has anticipated events of what we will find as a user. The vast majority of those who have a phone from the Asian company will know in advance that One UI is a layer that is excessively similar to what pure Android offers and with this version they intend to follow this trail even more and this is evidenced by its novelties:
- You Material Integration
One UI 4 was a big change for the Samsung Galaxy in terms of design thanks to the appearance of Material You from Android 12. A feature that unified the interface based on the colors of your wallpaper, although this only affected some icons . Now, the firm intends to fully integrate it both in icons and system tools, such as the security center.
- Changes in notifications
Through the first images that came out of One UI 5.0, a redesign of the appearance of the control center and the notification panel could be seen. With this update, the icons gain in aesthetics and the shortcuts have a slightly larger symbol. Also, notifications are displayed clearly to avoid confusion about which app they belong to.
- Gallery improvements
In the gallery of your Samsung mobile you can execute all kinds of actions thanks to One UI, but with the arrival of the new version it is even more complete. With One UI 5.0, the Gallery allows you to extract and copy text from images to paste it later. This is something that we have already seen in iOS and that is very helpful for sharing information instantly.
- New gestures
Another of the additions has to do with gestures to perform actions quickly just by making a specific movement on the device. Among the most prominent are: swipe down with two fingers to access multitasking or swipe from the top right corner to turn an app into a floating window.
Compatible phones and date

As you can see, there are many Samsung Galaxy devices that expect to boast One UI 5.0 in a few months. The rollout of Android 13 is scheduled to start in late August, so Samsung’s new layer update will most likely follow in October or early November at the latest. This means that you will not have to wait long to enjoy the version in the first person, so you have to be patient and pay attention to the latest news from the company.
However, everything seems to indicate that it would finally be in the penultimate month of the year, since the latest reports suggest that Google could delay the launch of Android 13 despite the initial initiative to offer the version a month earlier than expected according to the past 2021 Finally, the Android update would arrive in September, forcing Samsung to leave its customization layer for November . In fact, Google itself has confirmed that this renewal of the system will land together with the September security patch.
