One UI changed the game when it was released toward the end of 2018. Gone was the sluggish, bloated Android skin that Samsung users were used to up to that point. Aside from performance, One UI focused on one-handed use when it was released, which is how it earned its name.
But over seven years later, the focus on one-handed use feels like an afterthought, especially with the latest One UI 8.5 beta.
What made One UI different?
We’re so used to One UI now that it can be hard to remember what made it so different in the first place. The big thing One UI did was what I would describe as over-scrolling.
