Samsung One UI 8.5: Has Samsung Lost Its Way?

In recent years, Samsung has become one of the leaders in the smartphone market with its unique and innovative user interface, One UI. However, with the release of the One UI 8.5 beta, many users and critics feel that Samsung has lost focus on what makes One UI special.

One UI was first introduced in 2018 as a replacement for the long-used Experience UI by Samsung. At the time, One UI brought significant changes to Samsung's user interface, with a more minimalist design and a focus on ease of use. One UI also introduced innovative features such as dark mode, gesture navigation, and integration with other Samsung services.

However, with the release of the One UI 8.5 beta, many users feel that Samsung has lost focus on what makes One UI special. The changes made to One UI 8.5 beta are more cosmetic, such as changes to icons and colors, rather than significant changes to functionality.

One example of the changes made to One UI 8.5 beta is the change to the app icons. The app icons on One UI 8.5 beta now have a simpler and more minimalist design, but some users feel that this change makes the app icons less attractive and less recognizable.

In addition, One UI 8.5 beta also brings changes to existing features. For example, the dark mode feature can now be activated automatically based on time, but some users feel that this feature does not work well and often experiences errors.

The changes made to One UI 8.5 beta also make some users feel that Samsung has lost focus on what makes One UI special. One UI was previously known for its wide range of customization options, but on One UI 8.5 beta, some customization features have been removed or limited.
