OneUI 9 Brings New Features and Design Changes
Samsung has introduced several upgrades with OneUI 9 to improve the user experience.
The Samsung Notes app is getting a major refresh with new decorative tape effects and additional pen styles for note-taking.
The Contacts app has also been updated and now offers direct access to Creative Studio, allowing users to create custom profile cards without switching between apps.
The Quick Panel has been redesigned as well. Users can now separately control brightness, media playback, and sound settings. Samsung has also added more layout and size customization options, giving users greater control over how the panel looks.
For users who connect a mouse to their device, OneUI 9 introduces adjustable mouse-key speed settings for smoother cursor movement.
