I am forcefully using it for a week or so and here is what I don't like about it:
1. FORCED: UI update was forced on me because it was bundled with the regular OS update with no way to opt out of the UI changes.
2. MY TIME: I had to painstakingly go over the settings section and enable/disable some obscure parameters to make it look as close as it was before but now the UI doesn't look exactly how I liked it. I wasted a few hours of my life to get a worse experience than I had in the past. Thanks again, Samsung. One Ui 6 was like that for me too and now we're at it again just a year and a half or so later.
3. STYLE: The style of some UI elements is unpleasant to look at for me. Those smooth rounded curves on audio and brightness controls don't let me accurately determine the levels and it makes me frustrated every time I change volume or brightness, which I do pretty often because I don't like automatic brightness setting. The "opened apps" view also looks weird but it is barely passable. I also find a battery meter ugly now, it was better in the past. Time in the left corner somehow became more ugly too, numbers are way too thick. Notifications' cards become higher and received ugly rounded corners with I way to change their style back to the original sharp cornered rectangles.
4. FUNCTIONALITY: Notification icons are now only displayed on the right half side on the top, which leaves less room for notifications overall and I have to slide down the top to see what I missed more often than before, which also wastes my time. This is functional change I never asked but instead forcefully received.
5. CAMERA APP: quality, picture ratio, etc. controls are now harder to access (after an extra click), which wastes time.
6: WIDGETS: weather app and clock app widgets changed styles and I don't like it.
7. CLOCK APP: the ability to see the timer/stopwatch in the notifications corner is actually good.
OVERALL: The good parts don't outweigh the bad ones.
Samsung, I want to ask you something: Who asked for this update? Where are millions of users begging you for these changes? Can you, please, provide me with an evidence of you doing a poll of One UI 6- users, collecting their complaints and updating the UI to fix the issues and add the features your users anticipated so much?
UI is sacred
Don't mess with user's UI without giving them the option to change it back to how they like it. Give the option to change style. Don't force me with new "improvements" I didn't ask you for.
Thank you for your attention.
Edit: for now I'll read what can be reverted and try to revert everything I can - https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/A-list-of-features-that-can-be-changed...
Thanks to whoever showed me this link, I forgot who you were, sorry, and can't look it up because my older post was deleted not by me.
