 One of the biggest target with One UI is to help users to "focus on the task with one hand." To achieve this, One UI removes a lot of clutter from the prior UI 'Samsung Experience' and makes things more cleaned. By re-arranging  some settings together so that they are easier to get to. The Phone dialler, messaging, notes, email,and other Samsung apps also have a new look, to show only essential  information.

In prior UI, buttons that are mostly towards at the top of the screen have been shifted closer to the bottom and in many Samsung's apps (such as messages, clock, gallery, my files), the top side is exclusively reserved for viewing content that you don't want to interact with.

The One UI is based on Android 9 (Pie) platform and like this platform it has all features that are available on android 9 (Pie) that we knows and loves. That means One UI has some new features like gesture navigation options, a bundle of new emojis, improved notifications and so on.
