• Bring back real-world, 3D-looking UI/UX elements like those in the TouchWiz era (Galaxy S, S2, S3, S4).
UI/UX Improvements and Enhancements
• Improve and make the blur more consistent, at least across Samsung apps; the blur effect is too strong, it's barely noticeable.
• When one emoji color change all others emojis to match the selected color scheme.
• Make calling a live activity, shown in a pill-shaped tappable area. A second tap on live activity expands it to a full calling screen.
Lock Screen and Notification Enhancements
• Allow all clock fonts on the lock screen to have a thin/thick/wide/narrow slider, including third-party fonts.
• Implement notification blur on the lock screen, home screen, and everywhere else notifications appears.
Hardware and System Suggestions
• Bring back the Exynos processor so the suggestions/features mentioned can be applied, and Samsung will have more control over the UI/UX.
• Improve the live notification pill in the notification bar; it is too small.Make it a bit bolder.
Keyboard Redesign
• Redesign the keyboard; it has remained largely unchanged for years.
Clock Style Adjustment
• When a vertical clock style is applied, it should become horizontal every time the nowbar is fully expanded (including third-party font styles).
UI Enhancement and Consistency
• Improve the UI by adding shadows, depth, blur, and lighting, especially in dark mode, which currently appears flat.
• Consistency across Samsung apps is crucial.
Lock Screen and Face Scan Improvements
• Improve the lock icon under the front camera on the lock screen and the face-scanning animation, Bring 3D scan hardware.
Enhanced Music and Notification Visuals
• When music is playing, the album cover should rotate in the Nowbar, and the live notification (pill-form) app icon should also rotate.
• This visualization would differentiate between playing and paused music.
• The same applies to other live pill activities; for example, the calling pill could glow, or there could be a visual indicator when someone is speaking.
Notification Panel Customization
• Allow users to fully customize the notification panel.
• Users should be able to resize tiles or move toggles outside of the bar, & able to remove/delete panels.
Lock Screen Improvement
• Ugh, the lock screen buttons keep activating when I pull my phone out of my pocket, or when I clean the screen, or even when I'm swiping to unlock! So frustrating. Make it so you have to actually tap or long-press the buttons to work.
Multitasking Enhancement
• Add a swipe-up-and-hold gesture to choose between floating window and split-screen modes.
Photo Assist Improvement
• In Photo Assist (Generative Edit), a text box should be included for more accurate AI-generative results.
Lock Screen Customization
• Samsung's lock screen customization lags behind competitors like OnePlus and Oppo.
• Glass effects on wallpapers would be a welcome addition.
UI/UX Updates
• A new throbber (loading icon).
• Four dots have been there for a long time, and it doesn't fit into UI/UX compared to One UI 7.
Font Consistency
• Bring the Galaxy Watch's default fonts to Galaxy phones as well.
• The Watch has two or three more default fonts than Galaxy phones.
Folder Enhancement
• Add blur to folders when small.
UI and Security Enhancements
• Consider blurring all lock screen elements (clock font, fingerprint, other toast notifications etc.) to improve readability when using certain wallpapers.
• Improve Bixby.
• Add an app lock feature.
• When charging, display battery information in the nowbar and keep it there, clear from the lock screen. Also, allow other information, such as contact info, to be displayed in the nowbar.
• A lock option for the Trash folder.
Animation and Accessibility Improvements
• Improve the lock and unlock animation's bounciness.
• When the phone is in hand, incoming call or notification sounds should automatically lower after facial recognition confirms the phone's owner. Louder speakers make this necessary.
• Implement new and unique fingerprint unlock animation ripple effects. The ripple should vary in size and thickness depending on fingerprint placement.
Future UI Vision
• Once again, regarding the next major One UI update (8 or 9), it needs to include 3D elements, shadowing, texturing, and lighting effects.
Overall Feedback
• Currently, One UI 7 is too flat and plain.
Specific Feature Requests
• Please redesign the calling screen.
• Offer a Samsung VPN service similar to Google One VPN.
• Nowbar for third-party apps.
• Improve the color palette selection based on wallpaper colors. Current color choices are not aesthetically pleasing.
• Samsung should slow down opening animations everywhere. I'm using SamHelper/homeup for that.
• When music is playing, a progress bar should appear around the album cover in the NowBar.
