Galaxy SSo Samsung has finally launched the One UI 2.0 beta based on Android 10 for the Galaxy S10. We’ve been waiting for it a long time, so let’s get right to it and talk about some of the new features and changes we have spotted in the beta after a day or so of using it on a Galaxy S10+.
Both Google and Samsung navigation gestures are included
Let’s start with the gestures. One UI 2.0 adds Google navigation gestures to the mix. These are pretty similar to what you find on the iPhone. You have to swipe up from the bottom of the display to go to the home screen, and if you swipe up and hold, you get the multitasking menu. To go back, you can swipe in from the right or left edge of the display.
Camera UI redesigned… again
Now here’s something you might hate: Samsung has changed the camera interface for the millionth time. The biggest change? You no longer see all the camera modes available above the shutter button. Every mode except Photo, Video, Live Focus, and Live Focus video is now grouped together in the More section. You can go back to the old way by manually dragging each mode from the More section to the area above the shutter button, but it’s extra workScreen recorder built-in, device maintenance made simpler
With One UI 2.0, the Galaxy S10 has the new screen recording feature from the Galaxy Note 10. You can record the screen, all the sounds played on the phone and everything that is picked up by the microphone. You can also add a selfie feed when recording the screen, which is very coolNew shortcut and gesture for enabling One-handed mode
If you like using one-handed mode on your Galaxy S10, you will probably hate the new gesture you need to use to enable it. You can’t swipe in from the left or right edge of the screen to enable one handed mode anymore. You have to swipe from the bottom center of the screen to the bottom edge of the screenDigital Wellbeing gets focus mode, Night mode now Dark mode
Google has improved the Digital Wellbeing feature with Android 10. You now have a focus mode that disables all notifications and apps so you can focus on work and other things. There are also new parental controls. You can remotely track how much your kid is using the phone and set limits to screen time. The apps they can use can be limited as wellOther stuff included in One UI 2.0
In the notification shade, the time and date at the top is smaller so you see more toggles on the screen. This is actually the opposite of what One UI is supposed to do, which is to make things easier to reach with one hand. However, inside settings menus and proprietary apps like Messages, you still have the top half of the screen occupied only by the name of the menu/app, with the first few interactable items starting from the bottom half of the screenNot a big update, and lots could change in future releases
One UI 2.0 is not a big upgrade, and Samsung could end up changing plenty of things we see in the first beta. We like some of the new features but will reserve judgement on One UI 2.0 and Android 10 until the final release of the software. And, as you would expect, the first beta isn’t very stable. It doesn’t seem to have any bugs, but we ran into performance issues and stutters and wouldn’t recommend it for daily use- Mark as New
