Samsung Gallery:

Expand Photo Remaster to more devices

Expand Object Eraser to more devices

Show how many bits a photo is taken with. (I.e., 10 bit, 12 bit or 16 bit).

Bring back the "Advanced" version of Photo Editor which included features like backlight and histogram.

Add an option to store tags in the EXIF of a photo.

Video player:

Add embedded subtitle and multitrack audio support.

Galaxy Store:

The "Updates" section should be for all apps, sometimes some updates for apps don't appear in this section.

Have the language be the same as the System language, rather than having it by SIM card region.

Good Lock:

Community made themes: Let us download themes made by other people in Theme Park, LockStar, Wonderland and Clockface.

Bring back Edge Lighting+.

Add more Layout Types to Task Changer.

Fix LockStar bug: Sometimes the clock position changes at random.

Goodlock for One UI Core devices.

Voice Recorder:

Add "Zoom-in mic" feature to Voice Recorder.

All Samsung apps:

No/Less intrusive ads.

With some ads, the status bar and hamburger menu become hard to see. They should invert to black/white according to the ad colour.

Let us uninstall apps that not all users will want: AR Zone, Secure Folder, Tips, Reminders, etc.

Add blur elements to more apps. For example, having more blur elements in Samsung Music would be cool.

DeX:

Gestures for DeX. I.e., pinching in on the keyboard on your phone will make the on-screen keyboard a floating keyboard.

Add DeX to Galaxy A series of devices.

My files:

Let us add favourite folders in network drives in the “Network storage” section.

Let us change “network storage working mode” from caching to streaming. Waiting for your phone to cache the video file before you start watching it is not very convenient.

Let us modify defaults based on individual links/file types, instead of having to clear all the defaults of an app.

Connections:

Add an option to restrict which folder(s) a computer has access to while connected wireless or via a cable.

Don’t reset USB connection mode to default when you turn it off and on the screen if the device is still connected.

Remove region-locking from FM radio.

Settings:

The "Galaxy Themes" icon should be changed to red to match the colour scheme of the app.

Notifications:

Bring back the feature to have Edge lighting on only when the screen is off.

When using “icons only”, add an option to show “Details” the first time you see the notification on the lock screen.

Galaxy Themes:

Let us download the default wallpapers from other Samsung devices. (I.e., the infinity wallpapers from S8/S9, live wallpapers from S10, and video wallpapers from S20/S21).

Sounds and vibration:

Add an option to make the phone vibrate when turning the volume up/down.

Samsung Keyboard:

Make it so that Bitmoji sends as a sticker and not an image in apps like WhatsApp.

Privacy:

Have a notification that notifies when an app is copying/pasting, like how it is in iOS.

Have privacy "dots" that show when the Camera and Microphone are being used. Like in stock Android 12.

App Transparency: Let us opt-out of tracking for ads. Like how it is in iOS.

Add a privacy dashboard that shows when apps used their permissions (I.e., Messages used SMS).

Permission manager:

Option to soft denies advanced permissions (Body Sensors, Call Logs, etc) by giving them empty data. Like how it is in MI UI.

Option to soft denies normal permissions by giving them empty data. Like how it is in MI UI.

Finder:

Optimize Finder to be faster, it's quite slow in the settings app.

Add Android 12's "On-device search function".

Updates:

A/B Partition for Samsung devices.

Streamlining updates, Samsung should release an update on the same day for all carriers (E.g., all Exynos models on the same day). Why do Canadians and US unlocked phones have to wait 2 weeks after the US locked phones get an update?

10 Hz/48 Hz mode for Power saving mode: Galaxy S21 goes down to 48 Hz, Galaxy S21 Ultra goes down to 10 Hz. Having the AOD go down to their respective minimum refresh rates would be good for battery life.

Add an option to “Limit max battery charge”. For example, pick 60%, 70%, or 80% as the maximum charge level. I think this feature will GREATLY help with battery longevity. (Add this option to Game Launcher, too).

I.e., like on Samsung tablets:

Quick settings:

Fix stutters in the Quick settings panel.

Make it so that tapping on the clock opens the clock app, also an option to display your next alarm here.

Have the arrow on the right of the brightness bar a radio button instead that turns auto brightness on/off.

Make the toggles themselves bigger and more “bubbly” in shape, like how they are in Android 12 on Pixel devices.

Have a swipeable section on the clock where you can swipe between the weather, media controls, Galaxy Buds battery level, Galaxy Buds ambient mode/lock touchpad, etc. (Basically, let us add a small widget to the quick settings area).

Move the Search, Power, Settings, and More icons back down to where they were in One UI 2. (Right above the Devices and Media panel would be perfect).

Add an option to make the Quick settings opaque. (Remove the blur and transparency completely).

Add an option to add "Dynamic blur" to Galaxy A series of devices.

Notifications:

Fix Notification bubbles, their current implementation is a little broken.

Add a gesture to quickly close Notification bubbles. Like how FB Messenger chat heads used to have.

Recent apps:

Have the app icons themselves on the bottom.

Put the search bar on the bottom.

Fix stutters in recent apps and when using horizontal swiping.

Let us swipe between more than one app at a time when using gestures. I.e., let us swipe between 2 apps at once.

Bring back the option to have an unlimited number of apps pinned in the recent menu. (I.e., Pressing "Close all" doesn't close the pinned apps).

Recent apps menu should "update" in real-time, for example, when you turn on Dark mode it should show it in the menu without you having to open the app. iOS implements it like that: https://photos.app.goo.gl/o7JaW3CsqxT9NAQEA

Bixby Routines:

More options for Bixby routines, please! For example, something that lets you change your wallpaper depending on the time of day or if you turn Dark mode on/off.

Add the option to share routines with other Galaxy users.

Add an option to have some “Then” options work for “If”.

For example, If Screen orientation is Landscape, then rotate the Always-on Display to Landscape.

Or if Auto brightness is on, Enable Auto brightness for Always-on Display.

Samsung Music:

Let us unlock with Under display fingerprints on the “Control music from lockscreen”.

Bring back the old equalizer (without having to use SoundAssistant).

Bring back edge lighting in Samsung Music.

Side Key (Power Button):

Let us launch Google Assistant when long-pressing the Side Key, or just let us customize it.

SmartThings:

Smart Home controls on Power menu: This is already a stock Android 11 feature, Samsung should seriously consider adding this to the Power menu.

Samsung Pay:

Samsung Pay “Cards” on the Power menu.

Samsung Health:

Have a page that shows your current Workout information on top of the lock screen. (For example, how Google Maps and Samsung Music appear on top of the lock screen).

Have a feature to scan barcodes and "nutrition facts" tables to make adding food calories and nutrients easier.

Let us download food lists from different regions.

I.e., if you live in France but you have the device language set to English, the food list should be food from France, not food from Britain.

Game Launcher:

Bring back the option to specify game resolution and frame rate in games.

One UI 4.0 for more devices would be nice, like the Galaxy A50 and A70 series of phones.

Small annoyances:

Add an option to use the Flashlight and camera when the battery is at 5%.

Add an option to get rid of the slide up menus that appear for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.

Icons (Expanding on the “Vivid moving icons” concept):

Have more animated icons. For example, the Gallery app should “spin” whenever the user is copy/pasting photos, compressing a video, etc.

The camera icon should have an “x” in the corner whenever you’re in a video call, to show that you can’t use the camera.

The calendar icon has an exclamation mark over it if you have an important event, rather than the current date.

The clock icon should have a second hand that moves every second.

Samsung music icon should “dance” when music is being played.

Samsung Health icon should be “running” when a workout is currently active.

When an app is being downloaded/installed, the app icon should go "grey" and have a progress bar on it, to show this state (Like on iOS).

When you close/open an app, the icon should “animate”. Like how it is in Stock Android.

Bring adaptive icons to One UI app icons.

Add an option for “frameless” app icons.

Add different shape options for the app icons.

Third-party icon support from Play Store.

AR Emoji: add an option to have transparent backgrounds for AR Emoji stickers when sending in apps.

Expand support for AR Emoji stickers in third party apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.

Other:

Carrier Aggregation for all M and F series of devices.

System UI:

Bring back the old split-screen functionality from One UI 2.5

Make the status bar colour "adaptive" like the navbar colour.

Bring back icons for the context menu: The current implementation just has text, which can make it harder to see the item you want at a glance.

Bring back "Wi-Fi Direct" for sharing.

Make UI elements easier to reach, some of them are too high up.

Make the "Screen lock/unlock" sounds louder, they're too quiet even at max volume.

Make System sounds come out of the front-facing speaker as well as the bottom-firing speaker.

Make the customized System sound (Calm, Retro, etc). Change the "Screen lock/unlock" sound.

Revamp Samsung emojis to look more like the new Microsoft emojis and the iOS emojis.

Let us add different options for emoji styles: Microsoft, Twitter, iOS, etc.

The "Location permission" UI should match how it looks for other permissions.

Individual Dark mode in all apps (For example, how Samsung Music has it).

Bring back the “Use Volume Keys for media” option on the stock, and Goodlock volume panels.

Bring back the Oxygen saturation measurement. Samsung Health got rid of this feature on phones, it would be awesome if they brought it back.

Add different charging animations.

For the status bar, show a volume icon that shows the volume level.

Add gradual wallpapers that change to a dark theme (like on iOS 13).
