Samsung's One UI is a user interface that hails from the mother of all UIs, the open-source operating system of Google, Android. And while all of the smartphone companies now are focusing on developing their own UIs, it is still Android underneath, well except for Huawei and Apple. Samsung's One UI is ly one of the many companies that has its user interface platform.
That includes Xiaomi with its MIUI, OnePlus with its OxygenOS that is based on the Android, OPPO's ColorOS, Xiaomi's POCO UI, and a whole lot more. This was popularized and the point of focus of most companies to veer away from the "stock" or base Android offerings, and personalize their branding on how their smartphone looks.
Only the Pixel remains in the stock Android these days and now sports the modern Android 12.
Nevertheless, Samsung's One UI is a take that has differentiated its software from all the rest and has made it so that it is the South Korean's features. However, users have identified and pinpointed its similarities to the iOS, somehow sparking another Samsung Galaxy vs. iPhone rivalry again.
