Samsung’s One UI is unquestionably the most exhaustively themed custom Android skin. I say this because Samsung is the only manufacturer making Android devices that goes to the extent of remaking every menu and sub-menu, including even the highly ignored Digital Wellbeing dashboard. With its upcoming One UI 8.5 interface (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-phones-new-upcoming-features-one-ui-8-5-3600158/), Samsung could be taking a bold step towards reshaping the interface that has remained largely unchanged for the past two generations.
Some of these changes are controversial and hold the potential to spark off a fresh iOS vs. Android comparison. But there’s one change that I wholeheartedly look forward to: a striking revamp of the Quick Settings panel (https://www.androidauthority.com/one-ui-8-5-hands-on-3601412/). Based on the leaks, One UI 8.5 is expected to adopt Android 16’s extensive customization options for Quick Settings — with an extra shot of newness (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-one-ui-8-5-quick-settings-refresh-3611574/). Even before the One UI 8.5 beta has been released, I’m genuinely rooting for this option to be a reality and feel it could be a dramatic improvement (https://www.androidauthority.com/authority-insights-podcast-007-3603279/) — beyond visual appeal — to the panel that One UI has seen in recent years.
