Samsung's trying to make it easier to use its smartphones by redesigning the software running on them.
The company on Wednesday unveiled its new One UI user interface. It will roll the software out to the Galaxy S9, S9 Plus and Note 9 in January -- and the interface will be on the upcoming foldable phone that Samsung showed for the first time Wednesday. Samsung is first making One UI available to people in the US, Germany and South Korea for beta testing next week.
"With One UI, users only see what they need when they need it so they can stay focused on what matters," Jee Won Lee, Samsung senior designer of UX design, said Wednesday during a presentation at Samsung's developer conference in San Francisco.
One UI splits the screen, keeping the most relevant content at the bottom half of the screen to make it easier to use with one hand. The notifications are still at the top of the display, though, so you can't ignore that area entirely. Rounded corners of the interface echo the rounded corners of Samsung's devices.
