Lack of improvements?

Curious to what actual improvements have and will be made in One ui 8.

From animations, customisation to lockscreen to battery life. As battery life was extremely poor on flagships via customers feedback online via poor software optimisation from One ui 7.

Agreed. I'm currently watching WWDC and what Apple are doing with the iPhone and iOS 26. They're calling it Liquid Glass - very modern and yet familiar. A lot of really great improvements and changes. Hopefully Samsung will be watching and taking note. I felt One UI 7 didn't go for enough.

Android used to be big leaps in updates and changes. As of recent, major updates are mostly internal changes and small features.

Though of note, the full android 16 isn't available yet, there's still more features and systems that haven't been added to it yet. I think half of it is out, the other half is yet to be released by google.

Eg, the current beta added a really powerful security feature and set of systems. But the average user would have no idea

Hello @jiyh,

We are constantly improving the software to make it even better and we are open to your suggestions!

Don't worry because Google have released Beta 2 of there QPR release and it's introduced expressive UI. I've used it looks nice. Samsung will do something similar but have to wait until Android 16 official release and wait until Google releases QPR release so they can work on expressive and then release is and make it OneUi 8.1. Something like that. Also Apple have only put a Vista effect over there boring OS. Nothing special there is still no multitasking still no split screen and no numbers on the keyboard lol. It's the same OS nothing has really changed. Samsung is still so far ahead. Forget Crapple.

I wish samsung would allow us fo use 3rd party apps for lockscreen widgets instead of just samsung. Iphone allows you to have cute animated gifs on there lockscreen
