I know how you’re feeling. I was feeling the same with my Samsung galaxy s23 ultra. Social media and posts about the update are everywhere to drive up the hype. After downloading the update, I can confirm that the changes are minimal and you might not notice them much in a day to day usage. Hopefully, it won’t take long for your phone to receive the update.

I am not able to comment if my favourite features are not on IOS, as I don’t have an iPhone. But here are my favourite things that my Samsung galaxy s23 ultra can do:

• You can tap any object from a photo and create a sticker out of it, it works surprisingly well
• The always on display customisation is very good and useful. It is simple and does not drain a lot of battery
• S-pen features such as crop, select text, write on screen and transalte anything
• I like how bixby vision can find almost anything from a photo and provide details. In general bixby vision is very useful with a lot of things do to with text extraction and translation. I can only assume that a similar thing exists in IOS too.
• I find very useful that I can watch a video in a pop up window and scroll through a different app at the same time
• You can close all your open apps with a tap, but you can also chose which ones you want to remain always open. You can now few split screen and pop ups on the recent apps too
• You can customize the keyboard a lot and even use a 3rd party keyboard.
• You can customize the colors of the settings and quick panel, you can chose from plenty of options. You can even chose the colors of your wallpaper.
• You can change the fond and size of the text on the phone
• You can set up a lot of special functions and set ups using the routines, the phone will perform various tasks automatically at certain times.
• If you don’t like one ui, you can always install a 3rd party app like nova and get even more customizable options. These are the main ones that come to mind at the moment. I apologise if some of them are already on IOS. I hope this helps. I am sure there are many more things that I can’t think of right now, there are many useful videos on YouTube about one ui 6 features :)

Good to know! My Samsung s23 ultra still has a very good battery, haven’t noticed any difference with mobile date yet. But, I will definitely start checking the percentage now.
