Hey guys if some of you are wondering why some Samsung apps on your phone are missing or not pre-installed it might be because your phone has One UI Core installed not One UI.
 
 One UI Core and One UI are different.
 
 One UI Core has only the core apps needed for every day use for your device. Meaning the apps installed is only the necessary ones. And in One UI Core not all features are available.
 
 In One UI. Your phone will have many Samsung apps pre-installed. For example, Game launcher, game tools, and etc. And many features is available on it.
 
 One UI Core is used by Samsung for their budget devices. Since budget phones has not that much powerful specs to get all Samsung apps installed on it.
 
 
 Just discovered this a while ago and i decided to share it to you guys.

Amazing day Carlo! This is actually correct, you explained the difference between these two operating systems very well. Thank you as this will help remove confusions of the other members and Samsung users. Again thank you so much Carlo we owe you a lot! Stay safe and have a great day!

Whoever else sees this comment, a tip from me: It is rare, but if you regularly prefer Samsung apps like Samsung Notes, there will be a gap in app versions between One UI and One UI Core.

One nasty case from me: Samsung Notes on One UI 2 has different major versions between Core and non-Core, where you need to convert your notes to continue editing them on One UI, and losing access to future changes on One UI Core afterwards.

If you like other notes apps, just get a different notes app; common sense.

Otherwise, if your Samsung Notes is preinstalled on your device, and can't be removed, you can downgrade it; hopefully, to the matching major version.

On my device the good thing is i can uninstall it. But i don't care about the version of the app so i'm using it as my default note app.
