While more and more Galaxy terminals are receiving the One UI 2.5 update, now we can take a quick look at One UI 3.0 that can be seen in beta on the Galaxy S20.
And yes, we are talking about that Android 11 version of the Galaxy that should be received at the end or beginning of next year (and please finish now). We have been able to access a few screenshots of what we will be able to have in hand when we update to One UI 3.0. Go for it.
New quick access panel
In One UI 3.0, we can access for the first time the major changes that the quick access panel takes and that show the degree of exquisite design in this update.
A “Gaussian” blur effect that lets us glimpse everything we have on the desktop and that dignifies the UI elements in the quick access panel.
New interface for volume
Another novelty closely related to the user experience and the design of one of the aspects that we use the most during the day, and that is none other than the volume bar that goes from being horizontal to that more vertical format.
The horizontal remains so that from that “slider” or vertical volume slider we can horizontally expand the rest of the sound sources such as notifications, multimedia, and more. A significant change for another experience with One UI 3.0 and that we welcome because the screenshots look pretty good.
And so there are three of the most visited spaces
We talk about recent apps, the home and the lock screen. That is, of three spaces designed for One UI 3.0 and that as you can see in the images it is not that they have received any changes to mention.
We still have the shortcuts at the bottom for the camera and calls on the lock screen. Where there is a significant change is in the recent ones with that app card in which we find that it takes a larger central space and the previous one is smaller in comparison. For the rest little more to add.
Obligations “Android”
We refer to the obligations “Android” to the reason that in order to publish an update on an Android phone it has to be reviewed or simply that it incorporates everything that is linked to Android 11 and that we have known about the Pixels and other phones for days.
Among these novelties, we talk about the floating bubbles in the messages for the chat apps or the permissions that we can give at once. Of course, we can forget about other new features such as Device Controls, Quick Access to Wallet, Media Controls, and Quick Settings or conversations in notifications.
That said, the vast majority of these features have been in Samsung for a long time, so we are faced with one of the advantages of owning a Galaxy, apart from its exceptional features in hardware, screen, etc.
What’s new in Bixby Routines
Also interesting is the news for Bixby Routines and that allows very interesting automation. Among the new features are the possibility to customize the icon for each routine, see the actions that are reversed when a routine ends, activate several accessibility options at the same time, activate Bixby and use new conditions, including specific time, WiFi network, Bluetooth connection and incoming calls from a specific contact or any contact.
Other details of One UI 3.0

Finally, and as a previous one, since the list is very extensive, we have a new battery mode called “minimum battery use”, which applies a dark theme, a minimalist home, and limits the use of the battery in the apps.
We can also have a mode that will give a plus to the performance of the phone, easy access to the keyboard settings, wireless DeX for those Galaxy that did not receive it in 2.5 and custom wallpapers for phone calls.
Now to wait for us to know when a beta will arrive in these parts and we can test in situ all these developments of One UI 3.0 in a Samsung Galaxy that we have seen since XDA; And that by the way will be more and more thanks to the 3 years of support in updates.
