With One UI, Samsung is trying to reimagine how software and hardware can work together. In the case of today s smartphones, the screen size is getting bigger, and devices are getting taller, making it difficult for the thumb to reach all four corners of the screen. One UI aims to make one-handed usage easier, by changing the way we interact with smartphones having tall displays. And to do this, Samsung has taken a different approach to display the controls and content


Essentially, the display is split into two sections the upper half is the viewing area, whereas the interaction area is at the bottom where all controls have been moved. The idea behind doing this is to enable users to use the smartphone with one hand. However, these design elements will only work systemwide through the UI, and with Samsung apps. These apps include Clock, Messages, Dialer, Contacts, and Calendar, among others.



Take the quick settings panel, for instance, two swipes down bring up quick toggles for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and Mobile Data among other showing in the bottom portion, whereas on the top, has date and time. Besides making the app look cleaner, it also makes icons easier to reach, especially for one-handed use.

 Is One UI a novel concept? Nope, to me, it feels more like reachability feature on iOS. The only difference is, in the case of reachability, the user interface moves down towards the bottom of the screen, making it easier for single-handed use. In the case of One UI, the top half has blank space, whereas bottom half has interactive elements.
