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 agree with your points. The new icons lack any design consistency and do look a bit naff.

Just came by to say, yes, OneUI 7 is *****.

Who on earth thought it would be a good idea to hide the alarm icon behind the top pull-down menu needs a giant kicking and 3 days of humiliation in the stocks.

The battery egg is possibly the cuntiest thing I've even seen in any OS.

Really? I've got screens showing how practically identical they are. Care to see?

I think it's practically the same with just some minor changes here and there. For actual practical smartphone usage, not staring at icons, buttons or quick panels, it's somewhat better. Things like the screen transitions with apps feels better, smoother and look great on the tablet. It's been a great little upgrade on my S21 Ultra and Tab S8 Ultra especially.

I dont think you have actually used one ui 6.1 or 7 if you had used it you would know that there a huge diffrences and not just a few minor changes. There are quite a few major changes between the versions like the fact that now they have redesigned everything and clearly not thought things out because theres poor choices like hiding the alarms, hiding the remaning time till full notification, etc etc.
