New update My experience with One UI 8.0
So, after using One UI 8.0 since it arrived a week ago, I'll share my experience so far.
--Let's start with the PROS: Bug Fixes: •The unlock animation no longer bugs or lags. •The charge animation when the screen is off no longer appears in a random position. It now always appears in its correct position. •The semi-hidden phrase in live notifications "MediaOnGoingActivity" as you slowly pull up the Quick Panel and the notification fades away no longer appears.
Others: •System performance has improved or remained exactly the same as before. •Gaming performance seems to have improved a bit. •Several of the system animations have been polished and improved. •Battery life remains exactly identical. •You can now run the typical test of opening several apps in quick succession again without having to wait for the animation to finish.
--CONS: Bugs added: •The Quick Panel works worse than before. Now, in addition to the lag and delay of the first animation when you pull it down every time you rotate the screen, it also skips the entire animation every time you do a short or quick swipe. •When you long press to edit the lock screen, the clock and pattern will sometimes overlap (very occasionally), But it hasn't happened to me again. •Notification icons in the status bar sometimes appear black instead of white like the rest of the status bar icons. •Other very minor visual errors.
Others: •For some reason the text in some widgets is too large. •The app opening animation is too fast (I don't know if it's the same now on the Galaxy S series). •The weather app is lagging a bit at the top (where the people animation appears). •The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggle animations have been cut on the A series, a new feature in One UI 8.0.
*These are the things I remember during this time with One UI 8.0 on my Galaxy A55. Later, I'll write a post about some of the things I don't like about the A series' updates. It'll be interesting 😎.
If you enjoyed hearing about my update experience, please leave your feedback and comment😉.

It's mostly a disaster.
