Since the upbringing of One UI, Samsung has made various changes to its predecessor, TouchWiz UI. The new user interface is entirely different than the TouchWiz, whether it is launcher or other features. Samsung now appears to upgrade it with One UI 2.0. The company has already started pushing the beta version to its flagship devices.

As you might have expected, it is based on the Android 10 OS. Therefore, it has an apparent reason to borrow Android 10 features. In this article, we will be talking about One UI 2.0 key features as well as potential smartphones list of getting the latest update. Without any further delay, let’s start with One UI 2.0 features based on Android 10!
Samsung One UI 2.0 Features
OneUI 2.0 arrives with plenty of improvements over the One UI 1.0. At the same time, it adapts some new options either. Below is the complete list of the most anticipated Android 10 running OneUI 2.0 features provided by Samsung:
Facial Recognition
The feature called “alternative look” allows recognizing your face even when you change your appearance. This feature will require you to register your face when you change your appearance. Means, you need to scan your face as many times as you change its appearance.
Camera User Interface
With the latest One UI 2.0, Samsung has eventually carried some shortcomings in the camera department. The new camera UI lacks some camera modes hidden behind the bars. By default, there are visible modes such as Photo, Video, Live Focus, and Live Focus with Slow Motion and Super Slow Motion included underneath. Even though there isn’t any nagging issue with the redesigned stock camera app, it won’t make a significant change on end-users.
In-built screen recorder
However, this feature was introduced to Note 10, even the older user interface, but now, even older devices will be eligible to get the in-built screen recorder with One UI 2.0. There are three formats available to record the video, including 1080p, 720p, and 480p. Besides, you can record the screen in mute sound, with media or media, and mic both. Some of the users will find it very useful. Earlier, Samsung users had to rely on the Game Center app.
Navigation Gestures
One UI 2.0 adds Google Navigation gestures. But the good thing is that they didn’t remove the older Samsung gestures. Those who are familiar with old gestures can continue enjoying the older ones. With the Google Navigation Gestures, you have to swipe up from the bottom of the display to reach the home screen.
If you swipe up and hold, it will take you to the multitasking menu. To go to the back menu, you need to swipe either the left or right edge of the display. The other good thing is that Samsung didn’t remove the virtual buttons. The standard navigation buttons are there if you don’t want to use swiping things.
Digital Wellbeing Features
With the latest OneUI 2.0, it improves the Digital Wellbeing features. To recall, Samsung had refused to consolidate any of the Digital Wellbeing features at an early stage. Finally, the Android 10 based UI brings Digital Wellbeing particles, probably due to Google making it mandatory for all phones running Android 10.

Navigation gestures are coming to midrange or not??
Please reply sir
We can expect every device that gets OneUI 2.0 update will get all the features including Navigation gestures.
Screen recording to come inbuilt with android 10 update in midrange devices also?
Hi Arijit Koner,
Definitely, any device getting OneUI 2.0 should also adopt its core features.
Samsung galaxy SM-A7100
1. Better not use and mobile phone as gaming console because it will kill the battery and you can’t just buy it from stores because only the official phone service provider can order it from the manufacturer.
so you don’t realy need the last CPU and GPU in your phone.
2. The real important things in phone and computer is hardware and software security.
you can check it if you don’t belive me: Nokia is the only manufacturer that Declares and promises to give 2 years of software upgrades and 1 more year of security updates (from the date the phone official release in the world – check in GSM Arena website).
3. In next year 2020 there will be lots of phones that support 5th generation so meaby better wait to next year.
but if you realy must to buy phone today, I recommend Nokia 7.2 which release only two months ago.
Better not use *any*
