Hi guys. So many years I'm with Samsung. I started use Galaxy from the first model. And it sad to start thinking about to leave this ecosystem. But as IT engineer, I saw this already in multiple companies. To cut the costs, or just because they are dumb, leadership is hiring incompetent people to do the job. 

I have a rhetorical question. I don't want answers, I know them. I just want to write it here. Who are those teens or drunk clowns you hired to design new UI? Where did they learn ergonomics and design? In TikTok videos? I had pretty UI with transparent and neutral colors, especially clock/weather widget. Now I have eye-searing colors, icons screaming: "we are not iPhone, no!", and user-unfriendly design. Who draw this? 11 years old son of CEO, promoted to lead designer? Have you seen your battery icon, for example? What is it? Drug pill? Because it is anything but not battery icon! 
Same with my Galaxy Book 360. You did manage to break Samsung Update, without even replace it properly. Instead of doing useful and convenient ecosystem, your applications become just annoying bloatware. For many years, I now forced to switch from once good OneUI launcher to 3rd party. Thank you, Samsung, for this update! I'm really thinking about switching to Xiaomi. Especially, because their phones become better.

I get you, but I enjoy the updates, and there is so much I can do now with Samsung devices, alot more than before. I am enjoying my Samsung stuff I own and that I want to own. I love the tablets and I am thinking to get a Samsung Book 5 360 actually.

Also forgot to add that the battery icon is extremely hard to see/read majority of the time. At least for me anyway with my visual impairment. The old battery icon was simple and wasy to read, why the hell change it.

Anyway, I hope Samsung will consider these complaints because they are too many, and I hope they will adress it on a future update.

Completely agree with you , the new update sucks big time, what's with the useless now bar? And music playing in the notifications panel, no thought gone into this ui7 at all ,

in my opinion Samsung is superior, think you would notice the difference  with Xiaomi though more options with  the Android system in any case.  There are always mixed opinions  with a New one UI  but in the end most wonder what all the fuss was about.  Some call for more radical change  but when  something a bit different arrives that does not always go down well either. Having said that I do not think the software is a massive change and a number will become accustomed to it. online guides and video can help but style is another matter. Feed back can always be sent via Samsung Members but recognise that for some Members venting may be therapeutic.

Still yout choice at the end of the day.

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

To be fair they make good points.. The new ui icons are terrible, too bright and in your face and ugly looking, most of them look like icons you would find on a cheap android phone from temu. The old icons where great and very easy on the eyes. They really messed up the update especially seeing as the battery icon is not a battery and also is hard to read, also when charging now the phone doesnt show a notification in the notifications to show the estimated time till full and to see it you either have to lock the phone or go to settings. Its poorly thought out. Some things i like but majority of it is just un-needed useless changes that made everything worse.
