One UI
One UI is a user interface (UI) developed by Samsung Electronics for its mobile, computing devices and TVs, including Android devices from at least late 2016 or early 2017 running Android 9 Pie and later, and Windows notebooks from at least late 2017 or early 2018 running Windows 11. Succeeding Samsung Experience, it is designed to make using larger smartphones easier and be more visually appealing. It was announced and unveiled at Samsung Developer Conference in 2018, and was updated in Galaxy Unpacked in February 2019 alongside the Galaxy S10 series, Galaxy Buds and the Galaxy Fold. In early 2019, some devices were briefly originally due to include Samsung Experience, but later devices went on sale with One UI instead.
The latest stable version, One UI 8, was released on July 25, 2025 with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7, Flip7 and Flip7 FE, with other phones expected to receive the update from September 2025 onwards starting from Galaxy S25 series.
One UI was designed as part of a goal to make Samsung's hardware and software "work together in perfect harmony" and provide a more "natural" experience on large-screen smartphones. One UI displays most of the features that were in the Samsung Experience UX. A prominent design pattern in many of Samsung's system applications is to intentionally place common features and user interface elements along the middle of the screen rather than near the top. This makes them easier to reach with a user's thumb when using the device one-handed.
For similar reasons, apps use large headers to push their main content towards the vertical center of the screen. The navigation bar supports the use of gestures and the usual 3-button system, while a system-wide "night mode" was also added (which gives UI elements and supported applications a darkened color scheme). As with Android Pie upstream, the Overview screen of recent apps uses a horizontal layout, as opposed to the vertical layout of previous versions.
One UI Core was a slimmed down version of the original One UI feature set aimed towards the lower-end models of the lower-priced A, F, M, J, (discontinued in 2019) series low to mid-range devices. Devices running One UI Core typically have a reduced set of features compared to the full version of One UI running on higher end devices. One UI Core hasn't been made available to those low-end devices since the release of One UI 6 and are instead given full One UI software with limited features.
The following is a list of Samsung's own software and functionalities that are included with One UI (as of version 7.0). Not all of them are preinstalled and available for all devices.
Additional Samsung apps and components for One UI are offered on the Galaxy Store, such as Samsung Flow, and Good Lock.
Since One UI devices running Android use Google's version of the OS, numerous Google Mobile Services components also ship with the devices, except in Mainland China.
