Samsung is rolling out its One UI 5 interface to Galaxy phones and tablets in Singapore from this month, allowing users to personalise their screen and boost security, while enjoying updates to camera and video functions.
Promising a fresh look and feel, the new interface will come with bolder, simpler app icons and streamlined colour scheme. The lock screen can be customised with a user’s own video clip, for example.
One handy new feature is Modes, which lets users create customised phone settings, say, to suit day and night activities. “Do not disturb”, for example, is good for when you’re playing music during a workout.
Another new feature in One UI 5 is stacked widgets. With this, users can drag and drop the Android widgets on top of each other, or swipe left or right to quickly scroll through each one. This frees up space for a neat and tidy home screen.
For folks who are worried about their data, the security and privacy dashboard has been made simple, so users can easily understand their device’s security status.
It also prompts security suggestions and warnings depending on status, which provides a proactive layer of protection for most users.
Camera capabilities are also souped up. Now in Pro mode in the camera interface, users get helpful tips on how to use various lenses, options and controls.
Now, you can also easily add a watermark in the corner of each photo. This can contain the date and time of the shot, as well as other custom information you type in.
