Samsung One UI 2.5

With the Galaxy Note 20 series, Samsung rolled out One UI 2.5, and the upgrade is now making its way to the Galaxy S20 and older Samsung phones. One UI 2.5 doesn’t make radical improvements to the UI, but the camera, DeX, gesture navigation, and other services have several new functionality additions.

Meanwhile, with the forthcoming Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update, One UI 2.5 is still based on Android 10, with Samsung planning a more wholesale collection of improvements. The specific update is still in closed beta and will not be available until the end of the year, so let’s concentrate on the new features in One UI 2.5 for now and when the update will be received for your Galaxy phone.

One UI 2.5 Features

• Camera: Pro Video mode is the One UI 2.5 feature that I’m most excited about. Think of it as a video manual mode, with the feature providing granular control over white balance, settings for brightness, autofocus, audio sources, and more. When recording videos, you can plug in a USB-C mic and use that as the audio source or use the built-in omnidirectional mic on your computer.
• One UI 2.5 Adds Gestures for Third-party Launchers: One of the main limitations of One UI 2.1 was that Samsung’s launcher was restricted to the built-in gesture navigation system. With Action Launcher, Lawnchair, or other third-party launchers, you couldn’t use gesture navigation, but that changes with One UI 2.5. With just about every third-party launcher, you can now use Android 10’s full-screen navigation gestures.
• Samsung DeX Wireless: DeX is one of the best features in One UI, allowing you the ability to navigate and use your Galaxy phone with a mouse and keyboard to use a desktop view. Samsung is launching a wireless DeX mode with One UI 2.5 that allows you to mirror the screen of your phone to a TV and use the phone as a navigational gesture pad.

• Samsung Keyboard in One UI 2.5 lets you search YouTube directly: In One UI 2.5, the Samsung Keyboard gets an update that allows you to directly search for YouTube videos. You’ll see a YouTube shortcut in the settings of the keyboard, and clicking an icon allows you to check for YouTube videos directly from the keyboard. The role makes it easy to share YouTube videos in conversations without needing to search for a YouTube video manually.
