It seems like OneUI 6 is coming soon. However with the screenshots of the control centre UI, it seems like the 'one handed' UI focus is disappearing as more UI elements are brought higher...

Hmm. What you've posted isn't far off Samsung's shade, except for some weirdly wide buttons at the top and a media controller that doesn't add anything to the experience.

Yes it's got minor but not insignificant aesthetic differences, but to say Samsung's is awful and then hold this up as an example of good design... πŸ€”

Here's my Samsung's shade in its two positions (which can be changed to open fully on the first swipe if preferred).

You can just remove those device and media control buttons from the quick panel layout.

Samsung's quick settings is okay, I should've clarified. I just think the rest of their UI sucks ass

I have the pixel 7 pro and on the quick settings alone I'm considering switching to Samsung.

It isn't enough that the gigantic pill shaped monstrosities look bad, they are also crazy easy to accidentally hit (literally never experienced this pre android 12), eat up a huge unnecessary chunk of notification shade for no reason or benefit and don't even let users toggle wifi (previously the overwhelmingly most used qs function, at least for me) because they chose to add a redundant menu that is a worse version of what the long press of wifi did (and still does on "internet").

I've got a long history of badmouthing the Samsung changes but Google have entirely lost the plot, it genuinely seems as though they're deliberately making it worse. Some of the previous criticisms of Samsung skins still apply, but even the one UI version I hated on my S10+ is comfortabley better than the Google design now.
