One UI 1.1/1.5 vs One UI 2.0

Enhanced lock screen legibility


image

The lock screen can now detect dark and light areas of the wallpaper and change text color accordingly to increase legibility. As you can see in the picture above, with a wallpaper that’s half black and half white, One UI 1.x uses white font color for all text, making it illegible in the upper half of the wallpaper. One UI 2.0 changes the text color in the upper half to black while keeping white text in the bottom half.


Tapping notification icons in lock screen no longer expands quick toggles

On One UI 2.0, if you have your lock screen set to only show notification icons, tapping any notification icon simply expands the notifications on the lock screen. On One UI 1.x, tapping notification icons on the lock screen also expands the quick toggles, which goes against the idea of presenting only relevant information to the user.


Time and date size in notification shade reduced, more toggles visible at the same time

One UI 2.0 lets you see more of the quick toggles in the notification shade when it’s fully expanded. The big time and date display at the top center that you see on One UI 1.x has been reduced in size and shifted to the left side, and that lets you see more toggles at once. This is a slightly disappointing change, as it makes one-handed use less convenient, since you now have to reach a higher part of the screen for the first line of toggles. It does, however, reduce the number of times you’d have to scroll to see more toggles, so we guess this is a logical compromise.

On One UI 1.x, whether you try to change the wallpaper from the Settings app or by pinching the home screen, you are taken to the Galaxy Store, where you can either browse through wallpapers from the store or access your own wallpapers. On One UI 2.0, there is now a dedicated menu for wallpapers, where you can see multiple options and also a preview of your current home screen and lock screen wallpapers.

You can either select My wallpapers to browse through preloaded wallpapers, select Dynamic Lock screen for setting wallpapers based on particular categories (more details here), select Gallery to use an image from the Gallery app, or select Explore more wallpapers if you want to look at wallpapers in the Galaxy Store.


Camera opens in full screen when adding photo in the Messages app

When you compose a message in the Messages app and tap the camera icon to take a photo with the camera and add it to the message, One UI 2.0 directly opens the camera app in full screen. On One UI 1.x, the camera opens in the bottom half of the screen and you can swipe up to view it in full screen if you wish. The GIFs below show the difference between the two — the first one is from One UI 1.x, the second one from One UI 2.0 (tap/click the GIF image if it doesn’t automatically start playing).

On One UI 2.0, any notification that doesn’t notify the user with a sound or by vibrating the device is grouped under the Silent notifications section in the notification shade. These are mostly persistent notifications, such as the notification you see when Do not disturb mode is enabled, and notifications for things such as screenshots and Google’s weather indication.

On One UI 2.0, the pop-up dialog for granting permissions to an app shows up at the bottom of the screen instead of in the middle. There are also more options for allowing permissions. For example, you can either deny a permission to the app, deny and tell the phone to never ask you again for that particular permission, allow the permission, or allow the permission only when while you are using this app so it doesn’t access data in the background.

On One UI 1.x, when a call comes in while you’re using your phone, you have the option to make the incoming call show up as a pop-up instead of taking you away from the app you’re using. On One UI 2.0, you can change the size of that pop-up in the Phone app’s settings – open the Phone app, tap the three-dot button at the top right, tap Settings, then tap Call display while using apps. The new Mini pop-up option will show just the name of the caller, the accept and reject buttons, and a button to view the incoming call in full screen.

The color picker that you get when you want to, say, change the color of a folder on the home screen, you are now shown predefined colors instead of having a full RGB circle so you can select a desired color easier. You can then change the shade of the color with the slider just below.
