Users can now save preferred camera modes as widgets directly on the home screen, including popular options like panorama or portrait. Samsung also revamps the layout of editing tools in the camera app, introducing undo and redo buttons for seamless toggling between edits.
AI for voice recognition and language translation
The One UI 6 update underscores the ongoing efforts of smartphone manufacturers to integrate AI into their products. While AI has been a staple in smartphones for functions like voice recognition and language translation, recent advancements, especially in generative artificial intelligence, have sparked renewed interest in AI applications.

Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip is designed with a focus on AI use cases, while the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro showcase significant differentiators in their AI-powered photo-editing features compared to their predecessors. Apple is also rumored to introduce new AI features in the upcoming iOS 18. Samsung’s One UI 6, launched in beta for the Galaxy S23 in August, is now making its way to users in Europe, with a confirmed release for US devices expected in the coming weeks.
