Samsung will improve One UI 6 animations with the next software update

The Android 14 stable update was released yesterday for the Galaxy S23 series. This update will roll out to more phones and tablets in the coming months. Samsung started testing One UI 6.0 more than two months ago. However, some users are still not satisfied with the smoothness of some elements and the company has said that it will improve these in the next update.

One UI 6.0 to get smoother animations on Galaxy S23 in November 2023

With the eighth One UI 6.0 beta update, Samsung introduced smoother animations when opening and closing apps and widgets using navigation gestures. However, these animations were removed with the ninth One UI 6.0 beta update. Those smoother animations weren’t introduced with the One UI 6.0 stable update either. When beta testers of One UI 6.0 complained about the absence of those animations in the stable update, a Samsung forum moderator said the company would provide them with the next update, which is likely to be released in November 2023.

The community manager said that the developers improved animations and transitions in many places in One UI 6.0 during the beta testing phase. However, they failed to implement animations for app/widget opening and closing with persistent update. The development team is working to provide smoother animations with the next update of the Galaxy S23 series, which will be released with the November 2023 software update.
