According to XDA developers, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in India is receiving the Android 9 Pie based One UI update. The update is about 2GB in size and brings with it Samsung’s latest UI along with the February security patch. The One UI update has already been available for the Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus smartphones.
Samsung’s One UI brings the much needed change to Samsung’s custom UI running on smartphones. The UI is also targeted towards easier one handed usage by making menus, tasks and more easy to reach with one hand. With smartphones becoming bigger and bigger the one thing that suffered in single handed operation. This is what Samsung is addressing with the One UI. It isn't the first time we have seen this happen. In the past, you could shift the dialer to one side for easy access with one hand.
With One UI, Samsung has revamped the basic layout on its phones including the settings. There is also a system-wide dark theme and content has been reorganised to help users focus on the task at hand. Interactive elements have been moved to the bottom so that they can be easily accessed, similar to what Google did with the Android 9 Pie update. Additionally, the new One UI is based on Android Pie and it brings improvements to Always On Display, Settings, Samsung DeX, Bixby, Notifications, Samsung Keyboard, Device Care, Contacts, and Samsung Health.
