So while some of us impatiently await the delayed Android 10 update, I'd like to know from those whom have gotten the update, which features of One UI 2.0 do you like the most?
I'm personally looking forward to new navigation gestures.
Well, I can tell you what you're going to lose. I typed the following to the Moderator:
I can't help noticing that some of the most convenient features that were in Android have been removed.
For example, the previous version had a quicker way of this solution you gave. One could pull from the top, and on notifications drop down panel that has all notifications, one would have a notification to "unmount" the USB stick if it's plugged on. This was a time saver!
Now. They have set it far away such that I have to go to settings just to unmount a USB stick. This is a huge inconvenience having to navigate all the way to settings just to merely unmount a USB stick.
The other example, is removing the option to use side "back" on the Keypad.
Now, with 2.1 I have to take my finger above the keyboard to slide my finger for "slide side ways Back". With a phone as big as Note 10+ it is inconvenient having to slide above the area of the keyboard just to go back. Not to mention the fact that, there are usually other short cuts on phones like S-series ones and Notes series ones on the sides like the S-pen floating icon and edge panels that may occupy space we could use for "side ways slide back". This makes getting a phone with big screen not worth it.
Another is removing the functionality of split screens that had options to float an app and swap the split screens, by pressing the dividing line between them for for such options.
There's no function on the dividing line for options of float app, swap screens.
For one to achieve the above, one would have to press "active apps" button usually on the bottom right of the screen, press the app icon at top and find options. This is a huge setback unimaginable.
To be honest, if any brand starts adding these features, I will be going to it because these are everyday use features.
The technicians who collect operation usage data or statistics of phones should not assume that less usage of a feature is equivalent to "less interest" in a feature.
Some people simply don't know that certain features exist but if they knew, they would use them.
Samsung with Android must invest their hardwork in versatility of every day operations like the ones above.
We spend time using APPS and typing, therefore it is sensible that, the working of apps be versatile and easily workable.
Also, this discourages upgrading the OS because we keep losing good features that help us getting our jobs done quicker.
Android 10 with OneUI 2 is a minor upgrade in the grand scheme of things. But below is what I'm looking forwards to; 1. Family Link 2. Faster Updates (Dynamic System Updates) 3. New Gestures Navigation
OneUI 2.1: 1. Camera Updates 2. Ability to lock apps to Memory
I hope we get the update sooner than later though.
