With the stable version of Android 12 just around the corner, major smartphone giants have started showing off their latest software skins. While companies like OnePlus and Oppo have already released OxygenOS 12 and ColorOS 12 beta versions for their flagship phones, Samsung is not far behind. Samsung's Android 12-based One UI 4.0 software skin is also here, rolling out for the Galaxy S21 series. With One UI 4 getting its latest beta last week, things are looking pretty exciting. If you're a Samsung user who wants to know all the latest features in One UI 4, well, we've got you covered. We've listed the 25 most exciting features and improvements you can look forward to in One UI 4.0.

The list below represents a wide assortment of additions and improvements coming to Samsung's One UI Android skin. While One UI 4 gets its share of Samsung-exclusive features, if Android 12 functionality is all you're looking for, use the table below to jump straight to it.

One of the best new Android 12 features that users will appreciate is the intense level of customization that Material You offers. The design language gives creative freedom to users, allowing them to customize even the finer aspects of their phone. Using your background image as a base, Material You themes in One UI 4 allow users to choose from custom color palettes that are applied throughout the system.

Fortunately, Samsung's One UI 4 has adopted this feature. Users who now apply wallpapers to their phones will get different theme color options to choose from. Inspired directly from the colors of the wallpaper, these custom color themes apply across the phone, including apps that support Material You, and look incredibly attractive. The Material You based theme has to be our favorite feature of One UI 4 right now.
