OnePlus yesterday launched its Android 15-based OxygenOS version. During the launch, OnePlus mocked Samsung’s One UI, comparing its animation and system fluency with the newly announced OxygenOS 15 software.
One UI getting trolled over motion fluency isn’t new, with OxygenOS 15 just an addition to the list. Over the past two years, Samsung’s software criticized, specifically for the software’s animation despite having pro-grade hardware.
OnePlus showcased Galaxy S24 Ultra running One UI 6.1 in its OxygenOS 15 launch video. The phone maker included a pretty short clip (nearly 5 seconds) screening the slow response rate and animations of Samsung’s software.
Samsung could bring customizable animation to Galaxy devices next year. One UI 7 upgrade will make it possible to have Pixel and iPhone-like animations on Galaxy devices, with additional settings will allow you to tweak therefore.
It seems OnePlus is aware of what’s coming out in the One UI 7. Therefore, it used the One UI 6 to present the OxygenOS 15 superior, at least, in terms of animations.
I believe One UI animations should be significantly enhanced, but unusually faster app opening and closing couldn’t be considered a scale of animation and motion fluency.
Galaxy users are eagerly waiting for the Android 15 upgrade for their devices. This year, Samsung has completely overlooked its previous rollout timelines. The Beta is coming later this year, with Stable scheduled for Q1 2025.
The next version will indeed bring welcome transformations to the table. I, personally, don’t fall into the trap of animations. One UI 7 should be known as the most feature-rich Android 15 skin out there beating all opponents.
