It was earlier proposed that the Samsung OneUI 5 beta should be coming in this month with that of Galaxy S22 coming in first, the third week precisely and we think that still holds. However, some individuals at 9to5google managed to get their hands on the S22 OneUI 5 and thus gave some features of Samsung OneUI 5.
Few features of Samsung OneUI 5
It was earlier rumored that the OneUI 5 should be bringing in speedy animation but sources discovered that there are other pluses to the software. Some of the features of Samsung OneUI 5 are:
Tweaked app permission pop-up menu
The menu is now found at the center of the screen and it is a similar design noticed on the stock Android 13. You can’t help but notice how sleek the design is as it will surely grab your attention with the two buttons visible.
Added UWB and OCR
Two features of Samsung OneUI 5 that can’t be overlooked are the addition of UWB(ultra-wideband) to the settings menu and then OCR(optical character recognition) across the UI. With the stock Gallery app able to detect texts from images easily, OCR is present in the Samsung Keyboard making it easier to copy text from an image or camera to be added to your text messages.
Improved Security and Privacy Hub
The security and privacy section was left out of the added features of Samsung OneUI 5. The security and privacy-related features are listed on your screen and this includes your user accounts, Find My Mobile, lock screen options, and Google Play System Updates alongside other privacy features.
Tweaks to the About Phone and Labs section
Features of Samsung OneUI 5 include a tweaked About Phone section which lets you see an image of your device and also two added gestures to the lab section. You can swipe for screen multitasking as well as pop-up view, currently, active apps are also visible in the quick settings area.
Samsung Notes improvements
You can now share your notes with up to 100 users with users seeing changes to the notes immediately.
Conclusion
Features of Samsung OneUI 5 look amazing and with a smoother transition and faster animation. However, we might still uncover more features as the weeks go by. Meanwhile, these features aren’t many so more is expected from OneUI 5.1 coming next year.
