It seems like incorporating shadows or glows to the blur effect windows across the entire OneUI interface could enhance the perception of depth, potentially by adding a subtle outline, similar to the design seen in the quick notification panel of OneUI 8.

I would like to express my hope that the UI/UX elements reminiscent of the older TouchWiz Galaxy S1 and S2 phones might be revisited. It would be greatly appreciated if the UI/UX effects could be made consistent across the entire OneUI interface. While the Samsung team's attempts to emulate UI/UX examples from iOS and Google often result in innovative and distinct designs, the Google Pixel UI's engaging animations and lighting effects are quite enjoyable. Although Samsung's OneUI is gradually improving, it sometimes appears somewhat understated, particularly in dark mode. It seems that even interfaces like iOS's liquid glass, Origin OS, and Oxygen OS are currently ahead of OneUI in terms of user experience.

I believe that when I express this, I am also representing the perspectives of at least six of my friends who were persuaded to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra due to the appealing trade-in offers. Nevertheless, three of my friends were not entirely satisfied with the phone's UI/UX, as they found it somewhat simplistic and lacking in consistency, and they did not find it as enjoyable to use compared to the Google Pixel UI, leading them to consider alternatives like Google and iPhone. It seems that OneUI could benefit from enhancements to improve its overall functionality and user experience.

Touch Wiz was the absolute worst UI.... EVER! 

Touch Wiz was reason enough to Root your device! 

One UI is a quantum leap forward from TW! It may not be perfect, but I never, ever want to see anything reminiscent of Touch Wiz..
