REVIEW of S22 with One UI 6.

  • Updated it yesterday evening and this review is after 15 hours of usage.
  • I was not beta tester so received directly One UI 6.
  • To update, I used Smart Switch (not OTA) and after restarting, Wiped Cache Partition.

My feedback so far is very positive..

  • New Fonts.. I am loving it
  • Slide Pan and Notification Panel looks awesome (on this compact phone)
  • No Screen Burn or Green Lines (yes pixel shifting not incorporated yet and may happen in subsequent release from Samsung)
  • Battery improved significantly (ex. idle/night time.. previously battery got down more than 10% overnight, now less than 5%) (even during heavy usage, phone is heating less than One UI 5.1 and hence battery is not consumed more.. additionally 5G do not disconnect since it is heating less)
  • Icons are bigger (few users reported earlier they did not like but I have no issues and liking it because space it takes is same so better utilization of screen)
  • No issues with Mobile 5G network (Checked with Jio & Airtel). ('only 5G' button and 'VoNR' options aren't available)
  • Animations are not snappier but I don't have big problem with it. Most times, I like to turn animations off. 
  • No issues with UPI or Bank apps like some reported (I am not using secure folder)
  • 1 to 2 seconds Lag while making a call initially. Also background wallpaper (on call screen) takes 1 additional second to show on caller screen.. there is a blue/purple tint as few users reported. (Minor issue and will get fixed.)

 

So far.. major positive change.. although there is a room for improvement in adding back "Pixle Shift" and smoothness in animations. I expected VoNR & 5G Only option with One UI 6 but I think that is still getting worked.
