Samsung’s One UI 5 is coming soon with some very iOS-like vibes. The Android 13-based update comes with more lock screen customizations and modes to filter out certain disruptions based on activity.

Samsung has revealed more details about One UI 5, the updated user interface it will begin rolling out to devices later this month. Galaxy S22-series devices will be the first to get the update.

One big surprise with One UI 5 is Samsung’s choice to use the default Android permission dialogs. This is by no means a bad thing, and it is very similar to how Google does it.

It was already available in previous versions, but the latest One UI 5 beta gave it a little upgrade by copying and pasting iOS 16’s lock screen interface into the system.

Samsung is preparing for its next big update, and while that’s not Android 14, One UI 5.1.1 is bringing a bunch of new features, and it’s now in beta for select devices.

Other One UI 5 features include smart widgets, stacked widgets, and text extraction from images. You’ll also get all of Android 13’s features, which admittedly aren’t a lot on the user side.
