I think it was from tiktok that One UI 7&8 updated screen has some reason and it's from S2? Like that
Do you guys think those screens were really inspired from S2's wallpaper?
My favorite is One UI 6 and 8.5
One UI 6 had simple status bar and 8.5 has unity except for the height
The status bar has been improved well, except for the height of icons. I hope they will have same height with clock font, notification icons, internet icon and battery on One UI 9

Those are nice, especially the cracked face emoji
But S23, Z5 Series, A54, A34 and A24 users might not receive if Samsung keeps not supporting X.5 for which will end as X.0.. 😢
I'm not mad because my device might not receive new emoji due to stopping on 9.0; it's just annoying to miss new features and not updating even though 4 years is not passed yet (Z Fold4 and Flip4 must receive because they still had few months left to reach 4 years)
I'm already having fomo not having those new emojis
Will the battery drain faster when i update? I waited 8.5 for customizable quick panel, larger wifi icon, and applied default font for data sign; however, i heard severe battery drains are reported after updating to 8.5
S22 Series: Debuting w/ severe battery draining, overheating, internet connection issues, screen flickering and etc. but ending w/o One UI 8.5
* S22: worst battery draining (Screen on time 3-4 hours), and more heating than others due to lacking vapor chamber, using older AMOLED organic materials, no Wi-Fi 6E and UWB, lagging performance due to GOS
* S22+: worse battery draining (4-5 hours),lagging performance due to GOS
* S22 Ultra: battery draining (4-6 hours), 16 GB RAM option was removed, higher display curvature
Z Flip4: screen protector peeling, battery draining, no One UI 8.5
Z Fold4: similar issues as Flip4
Ax3 Series: Chargers are not provided anymore (except for A03 Core/A03/A03s)
* A03 Core: Super laggy (but this is the cheapest phone made by Samsung), no USB Type-C
* A03: ghost touch, bad performance, no USB Type-C
* A03s: slow performance
* A13 4G: sluggish performance due to 32-bit operating system even though the processor can run 64-bit
* A13 5G: same issue as A13 4g (except for Korean variation)
* A23 4G: bad performance, downgrade of the display (a22 had AMOLED), and not waterproof
* A23 5G: better than A23 4g but still laggy, microphone issues
* A33: lacking AOD, 3.5mm headphone jack (this might not be issue for who doesn’t use earphone), does not support 4K video in YouTube, no One UI 8.5
* A53: worse performance than A52 5G (laggy but most 2022 Galaxy phones are having similar issue), no 4K in yt, and Wi-Fi 6 (A52s had it), and lastly ending w/o One UI 8.5
* A73: overheating and lag, other issues after updating softwares, no One UI 8.5
Ik this been passed 4 years but I suddenly remembered how 2022 was the nightmare for Galaxy phones.😢
A24 wasn't mention on the eligible device list of One UI 7.0, 8.0 and also 8.5
But isn't A24 expected to receive until One UI 9? (I think it might end with 9.0 instead of 9.5) or is Samsung just forgetting they extended A24 with 4 major updates instead of 2?

I followed those instructions from the video then it showed 82% with 767 cycle.
Below S24 series and Z Fold/Flip don't support "Share with Apple devies" currently. However, some devices will never receive if Samsung expands that feature with the next update. I just hope for which last major update2 is One UI 8.5 (at least for S22 series and Z Fold/Flip4 users) will also have that features via security patch.
2011 - it feels impressive and new for that period.
2012 - the rhythm is nostalgic as if the theme is end of 2000s
2013–2014 - I lowk feel the new instrument and general music shows the peak of Galaxy phones. (Like going up)
2015 - calm music fits for the new s6 edge.
2016 - the joyful, and lively intro makes me happy
2017 - the mood suddenly switched to the future. I think S8's slim bezel and the rhythm match
2018 - like the type of feeling sad or serious idk but it's sounds a little bit serious or missing smtg.
2019 - Best song. Noisiest version I've ever heard. I randomly be surprise when I hear this. It reminds the life in 2019.
2020 - Nice! The instrument is awesome
2021 - similar as the 2020 ver. but the message seems heal from the pandemic via this music.
2022 - the general theme changed again, yeah it fits for the 2020s
2023 - uhhh I lowk feel this is new trial. Not bad (6–6.5/10)
2024 - Korean instruments are festive!
2025 - I think this must have a dance. The music is nice as phone's design in 2025 galaxy phones.
2026 - yow, welcome back our instruments! Different feeling from the 2019, but I felt this is too short.
I just wanna share my impression of the over the horizon and also willing to hear your opinions.
As we know, S series base and plus model are using the current exynos or snapdragon 8 elite alternately, and fe is using the last year's exynos. However, A series phones are having serious low performance issue compared to the price that I wanna suggest and share my idea
A5X - use 3 years ago exynos 2XXX chip with lower version (e.g. A58 will use exynos 2400e in 2027 which has 3 years gap)
A3X - use newest exynos 1xxx (e.g. A38 will use exynos 1780)
A2X - use previous or 2 years ago exynos 1xxx (e.g. A28 will use exynos 1680 or 1580 in 2027)
A1X 5G - use 3 years ago exynos. 1xxx or with lower version (e.g. exynos 1480 or 1430 for A18 5G in 2027)
A1X 4G - upgrade to helio g100 (i understand 4g phones have limit for finding better chip)
A0X 5G - use 4 years ago lower version or 5 years ago exynos 1xxx (e.g. exynos 1330 or 1280 for A08 5G in 2027)
For the display
A5X–A2X are mid-range that has punch-hole camera (but I think A3X should have thinner bezel) (A27 seems to have it and j think the position of A2x line up moved to mid-range)
I hope A1X will have punch-hole with bezel chin
A0X will use the same bezel as A17, A26
For the camera (selfie cameras are okay)
A0X - 50mp single main camera
A1X - 50mp main camera (sensor size 1/2.76") and 5mp ultra wide camera (sensor size 1/4") (possible to have macro feature)
A2X - 50mp main camera (sensor size 1/2") and 8mp ultra wide camera (sensor size 1/3.55"; it has macro feature from a2x)
A3X - 50mp main camera (same sensor size: 1/1.56") and 12mp ultra wide camera (sensor size 1/3.06")
A5X - same main camera as A3X but better ultra wide camera (sensor size 1/2.85")
Tl;dr - use old flagship exynos for exynos 2xxx in A5x and apply newer exynos 1xxx for rest of a series phones. Please apply punch-hole camera for A1x and slimmer bezel for A0x. Remove the macro camera and enhance the camera quality
Sorry if my idea wasn't concised 😅 I'm not good in English.
