4 most interesting features of the One UI 4 system with Android 12
Samsung has begun sending an update to One UI 4 on a large number of devices. Our everyday phone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G, finally got among them. So we have the opportunity to use the system for about a week, so we decided to let you know about the most interesting features we have been able to discover so far.

Material You design
When Google introduced a new I / O conference last year Material You design, it was not entirely clear whether the features like Dynamic Color they will only get into Pixels, or others will be able to use them as well. Everything became clear with the beta versions and One UI 4 looks much better thanks to them. Personally, we like the Pixel look a little more, but overall it’s a change for the better. That’s enough Choose which wallpaper you want to use and the system will give you a choice of four different color palettesthat can accompany you throughout the system.
New widgets
Not only Google, but also other manufacturers have not given much weight to widgets in recent years. However, that changed with the advent of Android 12. It happened on complete redesign and overall improvements so that everything matches the design of Material You. In addition, Samsung has modified its own, so now you can dig through the unrecognizable home screen. We learned a bit about using widgets ourselves, but with One UI 4 they can make sense again.
Improved privacy control
In addition to talking about the new Material You design, Android 12 also focuses on security and privacy. Samsung has also implemented most of these features in One UI 4, which means you’ll see iOS pattern in the upper right corner of the colored dot, which indicates that some application is currently using your camera or microphone. By the way, you can take these two approaches disable manually in the settings if you feel that your phone must not have access to them under any circumstances. As for the location, if the app wants it for you, you can decide whether you want to share your exact location or just an approximate location.

Redesigned system applications
We also saw the new system redesign of a number of system applications, such as Camera, Calculator or Weather. It is in these three that we like the changes the most. The design of the Calculator application corresponds to the Material You design, so the buttons turn to system colors and overall look very successful. The Weather has occurred removed ads and added some successful animations.
