Small modifications
In our overview of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, we defined that One UI 8 wasn’t such an enormous replace. In reality, for essentially the most half, it “seems to be and acts precisely the identical as One UI 7.”
Samsung right here runs via a few of the additions, together with a extra succesful Now Bar with higher third-party app integration, a extra personalised Now Temporary instrument, and a safer Knox Enhanced Encrypted Safety (KEEP) system.
