Icons & UI inconsistencies in OneUI 7.0 (stable) and OneUI 8.0 (Beta) versions.

[picsverge]

The Samsung’s hired 3rd party team of people who respond to beta feedback is just numb and will ignore all the screenshots and bug details so I am posting it here in hopes that someone from Samsung will see it.

So there are a couple issues with Samsung’s OneUI and HomeUp module.

Inconsistent app icons on homescreen & app drawer:

Firstly, the app icon size on the homescreen and app drawer is inconsistent when there’s a variation in the layout. The app drawer icons appear slightly bigger than homescreen icons, it is not a major difference but a very noticeable one. For this, the homesreen needs to be at 5x6 grid layout and app drawer is to be at 5x7 grid layout, then this issue appears.

This issue came in OneUI 6.1 as well, but later Samsung fixed it. The exactly same issue now comes in OneUI 7.0 as well and also got carried to OneUI 8.0 Beta.

App drawer (5x7 grid layout)

What bothers me is that this was resolved in OneUI 6.1 in just a few days. But it's been so long with OneUI 7.0 and it's still there, and now in OneUI 8.0 Beta as well.

Oversized & ugly widget fonts:

Second issue, is with the widgets on OneUI 8.0 Beta. The text on widgets has been increased to an unusable & ugly extent. To a point where it cannot be used at all. So I keep the screen zoom and font size to default (which works best for other apps), the weather widget, Now Brief widget, calendar widget and all other widgets just become unreadable because the text is too big now. For a 6.9” device like Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, this oversized text looks so ugly and unusable.

I am just frustrated because I’ve been a Samsung lover for a long time and I just paid a flagship amount for a device that has UI that looks uglier than some Chinese Android skin. I just hope that someone really from Samsung sees this and gets it resolved ASAP because this is annoying and ugly!

PLEASE!

Again, can you not see the images that I have attached? I shared the same in Feedback as well but I got the same response. I don't know what images you want. All the necessary images are there. This is the same broken record response.

The screenshots are the logs, I raised the same from feedback submission as well, there's no need of a log for this. Even a junior developer can or a junior UI/UX designer can see it on the images. The device is Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and the OS version is OneUI 8.0 Beta, previously was running OneUI 7.0 stable or at least Samsung called it stable, it was unstable in my opinion.
