What’s New in the One UI 5.0 Update?

One of the standout features of the One UI 5.0 update is the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature, which allows users to extract text from images stored on their phone or through the live camera feed. This feature can be found in the stock Camera, Gallery, and Keyboard apps.

In addition to the OCR feature, the One UI 5.0 update also brings a refreshed UI design with an expanded color palette, stacked widgets, and larger icons in the notifications area. Samsung has improved all of its stock apps, including Samsung Internet, which now offers enhanced privacy, performance, and new widgets.

The update also includes improved performance and smoother animations, as well as a range of new features for Bixby and the renamed Modes & Routines app. The Settings app has been simplified, with a new Connected Devices menu where users can see all devices connected to their phone, and the Privacy and Security sections have been merged into a single section.

The camera app has been simplified and now offers easier ways to zoom in and start recording videos, as well as a watermarking option, revamped Single Take, and support for zoom in the Food mode. The built-in image and video editors have been enhanced, allowing users to easily edit GIFs, draw perfect shapes on photos, create stickers from any image, and add more stickers to pictures and videos.
