Here is my comprehensive initial feedback of One UI 7 on S23 Ultra.
Pros:
- Feels fresh and new
- Smooth and fast performance
Cons:
- Contrast ratio appears off.
- UI element sizes are inconsistent. Some elements are too large, while others are too small. For example, the clock is larger compared to the WiFi and network icons.
- AOD displays notification icons in an unusual spot, disconnected from the status bar.
- The NavBar has the same alignment issue as the A56. It isn't centered between the shortcuts in AOD, leading to inconsistent placement.
- Nav Bar has missing animation from AOD to Lockscreen.
- The battery icon is noticeably larger than other status bar icons.
- No alphabetical order in the horizontal app drawer.
- Eye Comfort Shield is missing from the quick settings panel. In One UI 6, it was next to the dark mode option.
- Excessive top and bottom padding on the home screen. Adjusting the grid size doesn't help much.
- App suggestions glitches to the bottom in the recent apps menu.
- The notification row is slightly wider. Aligning everything in a single line would be better.
- Dark mode is too dark. The system widget looks awful with no transparency.
- The Device Care widget has padding issues.
- Clear button in the notification also clears sticky and live notifications (notifications which are not meant to clear like internet speed indicator, timer .etc.)
