One UI 6.0 may be released to the public this year

Samsung has not set a public release date for One UI for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 or otherwise. But the company officially announced One UI 6.0 at SDC23 earlier this week, and everyone expects the first public version to roll out before the end of the year. The Galaxy S23 series will likely be the first to receive the update, since it’s been tested for the longest, but the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 shouldn’t fall far behind the flagship tablet-type model.

One UI 6.0 brings too many changes to count them all here, but some of the most important changes include a redesigned Quick panel, a new system-wide font called One UI Sans, a better music player widget, an improved popup window, simplified home screen icon labels, and an emoji design. New for Samsung keyboard, a more useful content sharing screen, updates to the weather app and widgets, tons of improvements to the camera and gallery apps, and lots of other goodies.
