4 great features of One UI 5

The ‘Android 13 for Galaxy’ update comes with some exclusive features that are only accessible in the system Settings of Samsung smartphones. Let’s have a look at the top 4 settings features available on Samsung devices followed by a quick One UI 5 roadmap for information about models and release timeline.

1. Lockscreen personalization – Your Galaxy, Your Way

Thanks to One UI 5, you can customize the lock screen to your liking as it offers you a variety of wallpaper types and clock widget designs. Besides, a contact’s information can also be added to the screen. Also, you can create shortcuts for apps, and choose distressed fonts for digital clock widgets.

2. Call Background – Make it yours

Users of Samsung Galaxy smartphones can now set different call backgrounds for each contact. This is seen as the most important characteristic of the One UI 5 update, as it’s now possible to choose an image for each contact and even set it as the call background!

3. Text Extraction – Grab Image Text

The Android 13-based One UI 5 is able to extract text from a photo. When you open the Gallery app and open an image that contains text, a ‘T’ icon appears on the screen. By pressing that icon, the text in that image will be highlighted and you will be able to copy-paste the text if you need it.

4. Multi-tasking Gesture – Most powerful finger gestures

The One UI 5 update takes the multi-tasking capability of Galaxy smartphones to another level. Under the new section called Multi-tasking gesture, you get two gestures: swipe to get pop-up view and swipe for split screen.

The first swipe to get pop-up view allows you to open an app in windowed mode. On the other hand, the second swipe for split screen gesture instantly takes you into split-screen mode for a two-finger swipe-up!
