ZXKN provides more sophisticated animation effects.

[TodaysTech]

Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to the developers for their dedication in creating the One UI 7 animation. However, the app opening animation in the Samsung One UI 7 Beta1 (ZXKZ) version feels quite underwhelming. It appears rigid and lacks fluidity, with the page unfolding as the icons transition into right angles, which is disappointing.

During the internal testing of One UI 7, a better version was observed — the ZXKN version. Its app opening animation features a graceful unfolding effect with a noticeable deceleration toward the end, making the animation more dynamic and aligned with real-world physics. You can see this clearly in the attached video/YT video: https://youtu.be/6kJ8eIbwLmg?si=4_mGjioPJmXT8Ixr.

The animations in ZXKN closely resemble the lively effects seen in iOS, making it disappointing that Samsung didn't select it for the beta release. However, there’s still time. Please consider adopting the ZXKN animation style and further optimizing it. This would be a step in the right direction. 😊

It will more than likely be available after the S25 release in January.. we won't even see a stable release until then.

100% Agree with this

So Samsung found a better solution but chose to go with a runner-up solution?

Why Samsung, why?

The better solution may have more bugs preventing it from being ready for public testing. It may be the second or third beta we get.

Hello @TodaysTech,

Thank you for sharing such a detailed and insightful comment!

We completely agree that animations play a crucial role in enhancing the overall user experience. 

Your comparison between the animations in two different Software is very well-articulated.

The unfolding effect with deceleration in ZXKN indeed sounds more fluid and natural, as you've described. (And yes, our software development is on the way 🙂 )

We consider your suggestion to incorporate the animation style in ZXKN is just the beginning of our upcoming updates. We will strive to provide a smoother and more dynamic transition in the future.

Regards,

One UI Beta Team

I appreciate your sincere response and look forward to the improvements!

Samsung need to add blur and frosted glass effects to lock screen notifications, pop up notification and windows to make oneui 7 looks more modern and beautiful.

They're considering 🙏🏾
