One UI 4 doesn't introduce tons of new features but brings vital improvements in some key areas.

Samsung has once again outdid itself with the latest Android 12 software update slated for its flagship wares. We've had to put up with sometimes excruciatingly long waiting times in the past years, but in 2020 and 2021 Samsung showed that it can develop and push software updates quite quickly, just a month or so after the official release of Android to the AOSP channel.

Frankly speaking, if I didn't have another Samsung phone with the older One UI at hand, most of the visual differences would have definitely eluded me. The differences are subtle and implemented so stealthily that you have to know where to look to spot the new additions to the interface.

Now, the color accents aren't that pervasive and all-encompassing. For what it's worth, you'll mostly see the custom colors in the notifications area where your quick toggles and the brightness slider reside. Technically, you can also choose to have your icons themed with the main color from the palette, but it only applies to stock Samsung apps and I'd argue the resulting icons don't look that good at all.

There are some small but important changes in the camera app as well. The non-descriptive pictograms indicating the level of camera zoom have been finally substituted for digits, which do a much better job at showing you the zoom level. 1, 3, and 10 are objectively way more descriptive than a bunch of trees, a large tree, or a larger tree.
