Samsung is diligently working to bring the highly anticipated One UI 6.0 update, based on Android 14, to its devices before the year’s end. While the exact changes and improvements to the user experience remain unknown, eager users are anxiously awaiting more details.
In the meantime, a concept creator going by the name @concept_central, presumably dissatisfied with Samsung’s proprietary UI, has taken it upon themselves to reimagine One UI 6.0 according to their preferences. In their own words, they express, “I have addressed my grievances with One UI and made the necessary improvements.”
The concept creator devoted a month to crafting a remarkable 3D render, demonstrating their creative abilities. The superior quality of the animation speaks for itself, but the question remains: do these proposed One UI ideas hold merit?
I hate One UI. So I fixed it.

The One UI 6.0 concept does not completely overhaul the existing interface, but rather focuses on refining key elements. This concept could serve as a proof of concept, potentially setting the tone for additional changes that lie ahead.
Upon watching the video, one can observe the introduction of opacity to lock screen notifications, subtle color adjustments to Samsung icons, an aesthetically pleasing redesign of the music player lock screen widget, and a few visually appealing modifications to the quick toggle area.
Thus far, the concept appears promising, though it raises the question of whether some alterations may be superfluous or impractical, and if they serve a purpose beyond enhancing One UI.
For instance, it is difficult to determine if the concept creator enlarged the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth quick toggles for practical reasons or merely to accommodate the strategically placed “Subscribe” and “Drop a like” messages. Although the level of editing demonstrated deserves admiration, it may not necessarily constitute a successful redesign of One UI.
While the debate surrounding whether this concept genuinely “fixes” any existing shortcomings of One UI remains open, the stunning 3D animation showcases several intriguing ideas, with the added opacity to lock screen notifications standing out as a particularly notable enhancement.
It remains uncertain whether Samsung’s official design aligns with these renders in any capacity, but further clarity should emerge with the launch of the first One UI 6.0 beta version.
