Simplicity is the next journey Samsung has embarked on in One UI 9, with the first visuals from the Settings page turning cleaner, simpler, and smarter.

Samsung is finally doing something it has resisted for years. Having covered One UI since its inception, I’ve watched the Settings app grow into a dense, sometimes overwhelming control center.

Every release added more toggles, more labels, more explanations; useful but noisy. The early look at One UI 9 Settings interface suggests a shift in mindset, as reported by SammyGuru.

The most telling change sits right at the top. The Display section now uses full-phone previews for Light and Dark mode instead of the old half-device cards.

This aligns closely with what Google has been doing with its latest Material You iterations in Android 17, where interface elements are getting larger, more expressive, and less cluttered.

Galaxy users will notice a bigger philosophical shift inside the Apps menu. Alphabetical headers are now clearly defined, with Samsung stripping away storage size indicators from the main list.

For years, Samsung leaned into info density, but One UI 9 pulls that back. You can still access the details, but you are not forced to process them at a glance, it’s a subtle but important distinction.

Another noticeable change is the move toward consistent circular iconography, especially in account-related sections. Subtext descriptions under menu items are being cut down or removed entirely.

The Galaxy AI section might be the clearest example of this new direction. Earlier implementations listed features with individual descriptions, which are largely gone in One UI 9.

If this direction holds, One UI 9 could mark a turning point.

Do you prefer the old Samsung approach, packed with visible data and options at every level? Or does this cleaner, quieter Settings experience feel like the right move now?

Players will be able to choose between the three traditional presets of Easy, Normal, and Hard, therefore customizing their experience to be more or less challenging.
