New and redesigned icons

Ability to personalize the lock screen

Thanks to One UI 5.0, Samsung phone users can easily customize the look and feel of their devices. In this skin, it is possible to personalize the lock screen, and the user can change the wallpaper or the mode and color of the clock directly from the same lock screen.

Samsung offers a dynamic lock screen feature through the new Wallpapers menu, and the user can choose up to 15 photos and videos for the lock screen so that the images change automatically; The ability to select a short video as the lock screen wallpaper has also been added, and although using this feature can cost the battery more quickly, it gives the phone a distinct look.

In One UI 5.0, it is possible to change the apps on the lock screen and open some apps, such as the calculator, camera, and voice recorder, without unlocking the phone. To use this feature, swipe to the right or left on the lock screen; It is also possible to activate the Do Not Disturb mode or the camera flash through the swipe shortcut, and you can also change the way notifications are displayed on this screen, in the first mode, only the application icon is displayed, and in the second mode, the details of each message can also be seen.

It is enough to go to the settings section of your phone after receiving and installing One UI 5.0. To use the features added to the lock screen in the new Samsung user interface skin and selecting Lock Screen, apply your customizations from the Edit section of the lock screen.

Ability to stack widgets

In One UI 4.1, Samsung introduced smart widgets, which are more advanced in One UI 5.0, and the user can stack several items of the same size in a package, just like we have seen in iOS. Slow With the help of this feature and by activating its automatic rotation, you can see a lot of information in a compact space.

To use this feature, you can also edit it (add a new widget or delete a device) by touching and holding your finger on the stacked devices.

New and dynamic themes in Material You

In the new version of One UI, Samsung has allowed the user to apply eight new color themes inspired by the wallpaper. In the One UI 5.0 color palette section, there are more colors to choose from, which are displayed by selecting the wallpaper. In this skin, the color of the applications that support the Google design language can be changed and create a complete integration in the phone.

Notifications and pop-ups are presented with a different look in One UI 5.0. This change applies to other sections, such as settings and volume indicators.

Ability to disable RAM Plus

RAM Plus or virtual RAM uses part of the phone’s memory as an extension to the device’s RAM. The added part of RAM is slower than the physical RAM of the phone; if not implemented correctly, it can slow down the machine. RAM Plus was first released in 2021 for some low-end Galaxy A series phones; a little later, Samsung expanded this feature to its flagship and high-end phones with One UI 4.0.

RAM Plus initially used 4GB of device storage by default, and Samsung introduced 2GB, 6GB, and 8GB options for this add-on in One UI 4.1, but there was no way to disable the feature. In One UI 5.0, the Korean company has added the option to disable RAM Plus altogether.

Using RAM Plus in flagship phones with 8 or 12 GB of RAM does not make any difference, and it is better to disable it in such phones and restore the device’s storage space.

To disable the RAM Plus feature, follow the path below and then select the option to turn off RAM Plus or adjust the amount of virtual memory; To implement the changes, you need to restart your phone:

Settings > Battery & Device care > Memory > RAM Plus

Using the Routines feature, you can define default settings for the phone that, for example, automatically run the Google Maps application while driving and display notifications without sound.

Changing the camera user interface

Significant improvements for professional photography have accompanied the camera user interface in One UI 5.0. You can easily zoom with one hand by swiping vertically on the zoom bar. In addition, for the advanced photography (Pro) mode, Samsung displays helpful tips regarding various controls and explains to the user what functions each lens has and when it is best to use it.

In the new skin camera application, the Filters and My Filters tabs have been combined so the user can easily access the filters. In addition to all these changes, it is possible to create new filters inside the application. Watermarks can be added to the images in the settings section. did

One UI 5.0 introduces the option to watermark photos from the camera app itself. You can now enter details such as the date, time, and name of your model, where you can add any other text. You can choose from three different fonts and even change the text alignment regarding design. The result looks great and is especially useful when you want to put your mark on an image.

Improve privacy

In the One UI 5.0 user interface, relatively essential changes are observed in the security and privacy sector; In this user interface, Samsung has combined the Biometrics and Security and Privacy sections, which were separate before, and now, just like in Pixel phones, the user no longer needs to search in the settings section and through one page, to all related areas. It is accessible with security.
