Battery charge status is now on the bottom instead of the middle, oh dear, now you have to make sure nothing is covering that part of the screen. Battery pill: dumb.
The swipes/gestures/resizes can be disabled, but then unless you theme it, you’re stuck with their iOS icons. And if you haven’t noticed, say you turn off the iOS Control Center (quick settings on Samsung) gesture to get back double-swipe to quick settings, they changed the touch point to make that happen, and you can now pull down quick settings from the middle of the display accidentally, as well as being more sensitive in general.
OS seems slower and chunkier, even on S24.
Redoing all the lock screens to be more Apple-like with Apple-level widget limitations and removing the ability to see notifications/icons is annoying as well. There’s one that puts the time towards the upper left that used to just have a cute little row of notification icons to let you know what was going on. No more! Now it’s this neutered garbage.
Samsung used to be pretty reliable at releasing OS updates that didn’t break core Samsung behavior, and actually try to be unique.
Now their phones are just like one of those Chinese iPhone knockoffs.
The OneUI update? You can undo most of the annoyingness. But the overall look change is downright annoying I’d agree.
