Galaxy Note 9: One UI 2.0 Features
The new user interface has a new intuitive gesture navigation mode, as well as a new Focus Mode. Furthermore, One UI 2.0 introduces improved notification management with simplified buttons arrangement and less intrusive pop-ups.
The new design will be a friendly functionality for heavy media-consuming users. For instance, it becomes really useful during gaming sessions or while watching movies. Incoming calls and notifications will take a smaller portion of the screen. Worth noting that now we also have a smaller volume HUD.
Dark Mode is already present in One UI, however, the overall experience will be greater improved with the next update. After all, after years of claims, even Google decided to implement a Dark Mode. Samsung promises to bring support for more apps and UX elements. Since Google included this in the Android code, we may also see more third-party apps joining the bandwagon.
