Recent developments suggest significant improvements in animation performance for Samsung Galaxy smartphones. The proof comes from the latest iteration of One UI Home, the user interface customization layer developed by Samsung.

Samsung’s One UI update hints at smoother animations for Galaxy devices

The Galaxy S24 series, launched with One UI 6.1, showcases noticeably smoother animations, especially when opening and closing apps. This improved user experience could potentially reach a wider range of Samsung devices in the near future.

Technical detectives in SamMobile discovered code in One UI Home version 15.1.01.3 that appears to optimize animation sequences. They sideloaded this APK (application package file) on the Galaxy S23 and saw a significant improvement in the smoothness of the home screen animation.

Previously, users might have experienced random frame drops during app transitions. However, reports suggest that the updated One UI Home significantly reduces this stuttering, resulting in a smoother user experience.

While One UI Home 15.1.01.3 APK is available for manual download on platforms like APK Mirror, it’s generally better to wait for the official update from Samsung. This ensures compatibility and minimizes the risk of encountering software infected with malware.

The exact timeframe for the official launch remains unclear. However, speculation suggests that the new One UI Home could be included in the upcoming One UI 6.1 update, bringing smoother animations to a wider range of Samsung Galaxy devices.
