Samsung Electronics today announced One UI 5.1, which was newly unveiled with the Galaxy S23 series at Galaxy Unpacked 2023, will begin to roll out worldwide for other Galaxy devices starting with the Galaxy S22 series, 1 Z Fold4, Z Flip4, S21 series 2 and S20 series. Rather than being forced to save albums as playlists, users will simply be able to add them to their library for quick and easy access.įor more about Spotify's effort to breathe new life into its streaming music service, read our additional coverage here.A new software update introduces new features for Galaxy users seeking more creativity, personalization and convenience from their mobile experience This will also be the first time that many users will get to enjoy collections - a feature that has been rolling out painfully slowly. The company has finally fully implemented search as you type across all platforms, and it's blazingly fast. The changes are not purely cosmetic either. It also makes the shift to a tabbed interface that more inline with modern design trends.
The mobile app employs a heavy does of transparency and slides around individual UI elements to keep them out of the way and maximize screen real estate. The desktop client uses many visual elements as the redesigned web player, but still retains some of the more traditional media manager elements. The overall look is not that unlike a dark cousin of Google+, at least in the browser. In general you'll notice a lot more images throughout the interface, and big ones at that. Those round profile photos also give you a quick visual cue to let you know a card is for a person or artist, rather than a song or album. Artist and user pages now feature a round profile image against a large cover photo and content is now presented as image-heavy cards when browsing. The new look also borrows flourishes from social networks.
Despite the starkness of the UI elements, these touches make the app feel warm and inviting. The edges are softer, there's a heavy use of blurring on background images (especially in the mobile app) and there's a new typeface, Proxima Nova, that's clean and heavily rounded. The redesign touches on almost every element of the experience. Of course, if Spotify simply painted everything black that wouldn't be big news.
