OneUI 7 is visually a steaming pile of shit. Real “we have iPhone at home” vibes throughout. Specifically for me what they’ve done with icons, why cant i have white or colored icons with dark mode?
Beta testers complained so much up to release how uncohesive everything is and Samsung constantly shut down feedback with “this doesn’t meet our design goals”. Surprise, now it hits general public and everyone still hates their goals. This won’t ruin them, but it defintely makes me reconsider Samsung going forward.
Edit - yes I know there’s third party solutions to most android problems, but shouldn’t have to load apps and spend hours customizing to interface without vomiting.
I hate how ultra round everything is. Especially sliders like for volume feel so weird and look that way too. I really liked the OneUI 6.x rectangular design with rounded corners way more.
The dropdown panel is also stupid. It’s just so incredibly clumsy as you have to pull it down from very top, meanwhile the other mode allows you to double swipe down anywhere on the panel and it expands.
I am not sure if it is intended to look like this, but how the fuck am I supposed to read my volumes now? What the fuck is this contrast? I have to wear glasses, but without them I could manage (like, when I wake up), but this is now almost unreadable without them. Same with battery.
What was it before this?
This is mine on Android 14 on OnePlus.
LineageOS 22.2 (Android 15)
It looks the same on my 2024 Moto G Stylus. In fact, the battery icon with the percentage next to it has been an option on every Android phone I’ve used for the past decade or so, at least.
Same. I think it’s a Motorola thing. My current and last few phones for the past 15 years have been Motorola.
I’ve had a OnePlus phone during that time and they had the same option.
They should’ve just copied iOS and made it look like a little battery.
The arrow shows on which side the battery is.
I bet they patented (or trademarked or…) that look.
I’m on oneUI 6 (samsung) and it looks like a battery. I think the way it looks in the post is a symptom of brain dead design…
Edit: oh God it’s being rolled out to my phone on 25th may, better figure out how to not get this…
Software Updater is an application, maybe you can turn it off with ADB.
