Custom caller background
For the first time on the stock dialer app, Samsung is bringing the ability to fully customize the call background on a contact-by-contact basis. You can add both images and videos as well as select your favorite picture from the Gallery.
Improved mini pop-up UI:
The mini pop-up menu that appears on your screen when you are using other functions of your phone, to let you answer or reject calls, sees improvements with the new software. The answer and decline buttons are now moved off to the side with no text labels and animated icons, which looks quite good.
Bixby Text Call:
Bixby Text Call is a completely new feature to One UI 5.0. If you are receiving a phone call during a meeting or a place where you can’t take calls, the Bixby Text Call will allow you to receive calls in any environment without being disruptive or missing a beat.
