All the stock Samsung apps with Material You theming on One UI 4.0

A brand new UI design with customizable color themes was one of the main talking points of Android 12. Google calls the new design Material You, and it can change the color scheme of UI elements based on the wallpaper chosen by the user. However, when Samsung released the first beta version of One UI 4.0, there was no sign of Material You. The feature was introduced later with the second beta release.

While the Material You theming engine appears to be a bit buggy right now, most of the stock Samsung apps have started following it. After choosing any wallpaper, a new menu appears and prompts you to select a color scheme from multiple options (all inspired by the colors from the selected wallpaper). We tried all the stock apps from Samsung, and here are the ones following the Material You theme in One UI 4.0.

• Calculator
• Calendar
• Clock
• Contacts
• Device Care
• Gallery
• Messages
• My Files
• Phone
• Reminders
• Samsung Cloud
• Samsung Pass
• Settings
• Tips
• Weather

Not all these apps use Material You colors to the same effect, though. Some apps show minimal signs of color customizations, while others flaunt them. For example, Calculator and Device Care show a lot of Material You colors, while Gallery and Settings show minimal effects. Moreover, when the dark mode is active, the Material You effects get minimized even further.

We hope that more stock and third-party apps will start supporting Material You effects in the future. Do you like Google’s and Samsung’s Material You direction? Or do you prefer the older UI design? Let us know in the comments section below.

This Galaxy S22 Ultra dummy unit doesn’t have S Pen slot, but don’t let that worry you

A few days ago pictures of a dummy Galaxy S22 made the rounds on the internet. It showed a design that’s indistinguishable from the Galaxy S21, and that’s because Samsung is not expected to change the S21 series’ excellent design for the Galaxy S22 and S22+.

Only the Galaxy S21 Ultra is rumored to be getting a visual refresh, at least at the back. The S22 Ultra could have a new P-shaped camera housing that doesn’t extend into the metal frame like it does on the S21 Ultra (and the other two S21 models), and that possibility is being supported by pictures and video of a Galaxy S22 Ultra dummy unit published by the folks over at CoverPigtou.

However, S Pen fans might be more interested in the fact that this particular dummy unit doesn’t have any stylus cutout at the bottom. But that doesn’t mean the S22 Ultra won’t feature a built-in S Pen slot since dummy units aren’t always an exact replica of the final product. Given Samsung’s push to break the S Pen’s Note exclusivity this year, the S22 Ultra will most likely be able to house the S Pen inside instead of needing a bulky case to carry it around.

However, since the Galaxy S22 series has yet to go official, everything is speculation and hearsay until the inevitable hard leaks start happening closer to its launch.
