@1:03 it doesn't make sense, as their original claim was that One UI was built to make one handed usage easier, now that they shifted everything up simply for the look, it goes against their foundation. At least let the users change the location of the toggles, but wifi and bluetooth are stuck at the top even though they're the most used toggles.

I think the control panel and font is my reason for updating

I like the new drop menu wit the music... I listen to alot of music and it feels more alive now

[bugyalbugy]

What about the battery condition in this update? Has it improved its use?

Nice that many of you got 6.0 one UI / Android 14, one month ago. My Samsung Galaxy S23 FE Telus Canada just got it in Edmonton, AB. It looks great so far.

[StuartGelin]

I like the quick settings page but only if they let us change all the buttons. Right now most of them are not where I would want them to be.

[Catloverplayer]

I just got it. 6.0 is very buggy. I don't know how this was called stable. I have some apps and folders crashing back to home screen.

The guy presenting in this video is my preferred go-to reviewer for Android phones and features. I've read many reviews by him. I appreciate how direct and concise he is. This is the first video I've watched of him and I am delighted to see that the quality of his reviews translates very well in the video format. THANK you, sir. Keep up the great work!

2:15 We don't need "looks more similar like on other platforms" We have our own OneUI😡

Where did you get the wallpaper in the thumbnail from?

[BastardOfTheNorth]

Waiting in the USA, Samsung said it'll arrive about the 20th this month🤞

[Dandi]

Where is the option "make highlight reel" in gallery? Thank you.

[mavindraganga]

I hate how the quick panel buttons are white and not blue

[smulemaster]

I think i like it better if only Samsung stick to the original OneUI unique features making the phone user-centered wherein the screen is still divided into 2 - the activity area where everything is reachable in screen and those unreachable areas are the viewing area.

Some features of OneUI6.0 did not stick to that sense like the quick settings panel and notifications panel which occupies from top to bottom of the screen in which it can be more user-centered if the buttons are pushed to the bottom 😅😅😅

Hey guys. After update my phone i cant use Image Clipper Feature. Can someone help me?

[maxshadow...]

Why did the pull down menu turn black and white...what happened to my color scheme?

[CamiloFuentes-xy]

In certain regions they´re still not rolling out One UI 6 (Colombia hasn't received it)

[Sejuani]

Scene optimizer is the first option when I click settings in the camera app on my ONE UI 6 galaxy phone.
