As someone who haven’t really used a Samsung phone, can I ask which one of these changes do you think are significant improvements?

Oh boy. Maybe it’s time to try another brand?

I have been through about 3 Samsung phones now back to back, which has been about the last 8 years and they are great so idk why they are getting so much hate. I had either the 1st or 2nd pixel phone prior to going Samsung and I thought it was awful. I found that I did enjoy some of the extra stuff the UI overlay builds in. For example, at least back then and may not reflect today, pixel didn’t even have a way to display battery % by default. I think you could through turning on developer options but it was not as nice. Does the Samsung UI come with a lot of stuff I don’t use? Sure but I also don’t think it impacts it negatively anyway so who cares.
Also I hate iPhone and think it is the worst UI of them all. I use it daily for my work phone and really have no idea how everyone believes its the best option there is.
Pulling down from top right corner to show the full quick actions menu. Now I need to swipe down twice to see all options, with this update only once. I will actually install the beta solely for this feature.
There is 2 finger pull down option available right now with v13. No idea if it is default behavior or a setting since cannot find one.
So dumb though, who actually uses that? And I’ll ask again until eternity:
why do these tiles need to be so large?Quick tiles is one of the many reasons why I prefer Samsung One UI over stock/Pixel. One UI still uses the old style.
To take real estate from notifications (is it somehow a benefit to Google to add scroll interactions?). I’m not sure what the endgame is but the only other thing it achieves is making them always trigger when you’re holding the phone to your ear, which no matter how tinfoil I get I can’t see any potential motivator for that. It’s pure bad design, for the life of me I can’t work it out.

How do you get your Samsung phone to update. Mine says it is up-to-date and it’s running 13.
- You need S23 series phone AND need to be in one of the specific regions. More phones will be added later.
- Use Samsung Members app to opt in to beta
- Do a software update like how you normally would. https://developer.samsung.com/one-ui-beta
You also need to check that your phone will get more updates and it hasn’t reached its update quota. In that case getting the newer updates became trickier.
Update quota? I am seriously regretting samsung instead of pixel.
The “Quick Panel” […] in terms of the look, it’s a pretty shameless copy of iOS’ Control Center
What is the penchant for these journalists to say everything looks/is copied from Apple? The quick settings menu looks nothing like iOS control center, unless they’re talking about both having buttons and a blurred background. Also I believe Samsung’s design is older than Apple’s, at least first iterations of it.
