I’m currently using an iPhone 14 Plus, thinking if I should get a Samsung next time. I like iOS, but I keep reading people saying that one ui has way more features compared to iOS. I’m curious as to what these features are. I know some cool one ui feautes that are not on iOS: split-screen/pip multitasking, dex (Don’t care about this one tbh), object eraser in gallery, but I’m curious to learn more about one ui features. Could you describe some?

    1. double click on the “power” button to launch the camera app without even unlocking the screen
    2. swipe across the screen to screenshot.
    3. NFC cards - If you’re taking public transport, you don’t need to open the app, just tap and use. It’s also a lot faster to access mobile payments. Apple users typically hold up the payment line in my country.
    4. you can use your huge phones with one hand, because the UI shifted most of the interactive things to the bottom of the screen.
    5. install an app like swiftly switch, and you can launch/change to any app anywhere any time without opening the app drawer
    6. 100% customisable keyboard. You can rearrange all the letters, leave out letters, add symbols, pictograms, add in words and phrases to the keys, etc. Change key height, width, spacing, etc.
    7. you can change your browser address bar from the top to the bottom
    8. you can pull the notification shade down from the bottom of the screen
    9. you can pin “lock” the app and pass the phone to someone else. They can use the app, but they won’t be able to exit the app, go to your desktop, or do anything else unless they can unlock your phone.
    10. Change the density of your app drawer
    11. Change the system font
    12. Display a percentage value on your battery icon
    13. Edit and only show the quick setting buttons that you want on the notification panel
    14. the back button. pressing on the back button is a lot faster than swiping
    15. the home button. it’s faster than swiping or the onscreen button.

    That’s all i can think off off my head.

      I’ve always opened up the Samsung Wallet app and moved to the card page to use it, but I wasn’t aware you could use it without doing that. I’ll have to try that next time.
