I have it, but i don't use one UI. I hate it, I use a custom launcher called Nova..... been using it for almost a decade. So sorry I can't comment on it.
On my s25 ultra, the latest updates does run really well.
Now that One UI 7/Android 15 is FINALLY rolling out to devices worldwide, reports are coming in that the One UI 8/Android 16 beta is already being tested internally on the S25 Ultra; and GeekBench is showing a model number corresponding to the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 testing it. Considering the July release of the device, it's a stretch to think that Samsung will actually release the phone with Android 16 but stranger things have happened.
This is a bold move for Samsung, considering that Android is owned by Google. However, it could be a huge win for users who don't trust Google putting every intimate detail of their lives under a microscope to mine data and sell it to whoever wants to buy it.

It's almost as if Samsung has too many customers and is trying to drive a lot of them to other manufacturers! My heart aches for the Samsung of ten years ago, when the newest flagship phones were absolutely packed with as many features as possible... instead of dumbing down the phones and cutting features.

A few days ago I had a UI upgrade. It changed some settings and background, without asking me.
I have a Samsung A25, now have One UI version 7.0, Android version 15.
When I swipe to get to enter my Pin, this background has changed to a lighter colour background.
Can I alter the Pin background to make it a darker colour?

Simple change your wallpaper to a darker background.

I can change the Lock Screen, the Home Screen, but can't find if it's possible to change the Pin screen background itself?

Do you have a custom launcher?
What wall paper are you currently using, and how bright your cell display is.
Fill us in a bit more.

I don't know how to take a screenshot? I thought it was the lower side button and volume? I can't seem to get it to work.
My point is I use dark mode, and since the upgrade, the lock screen and home screen changed themselves - I don't know why. I altered them to a dark yellow.
The Pin unlock screen is very slightly yellow, but almost white, I want it the same dark colour as the lock & home screens.
