Android is an operating system that is full of benefits for the user. Entering the Google app store means having a window into a gigantic array of options for almost anything that comes to mind. While this is interesting in itself, we must not forget that there is many manufacturers who have their own custom coatwhich brings another point in terms of customization and own applications.
One of the best we have comes from Samsung. This one, whose new version One UI 7 is fast approaching, has some of its own applications which have nothing to envy of Google’s own or third-party applications. Moreover : They have interesting functions that make them more complete. We tell you which ones are the best.
My files (Samsung files)
One of the best features of Android over iOS is how easy Google’s operating system is to manage files on a mobile phone. Many users tend to opt for Google Files, but it’s impossible to ignore that Samsung Files is a pretty notable rival. In fact, it has features that are not present in the Google app, like the ability to access FTP or SFTP serversby adding them to the “My Files” section.
Another point that also stands out from the Samsung application is that integrates very well with Secure Folder (which we’ll talk about later). Thanks to this, it is much easier to move files from this management application, making the process much simpler.
Samsung Notes
Cell phones are very useful for taking notes, especially if we have a Galaxy S24 Ultra with its S-Pen. This makes Samsung Notes one of the best One UI-specific apps, as it works significantly better than the default for Android, Google Keep.
The bar that the application has at the bottom is full of functions. Thanks to him, we will be able to create checklists (ideal when purchasing), font color, size and much more. The app even allows us to password protect our notes, giving us an extra touch of security.
At this point, it’s impossible to ignore how well Galaxy AI is integrated into this app. Thanks to Samsung’s artificial intelligence, we will have an assistant that will allow us to format texts, summarize them and even transcribe recordings. This is the best thing One UI has.
Samsung recall
Reminder may go more unnoticed than the rest of the apps on this list, but it’s another one of those options to consider. Its interface is very simple, so much so that navigating and using it becomes a pleasant task to carry out. Additionally, we can synchronize the application with our Microsoft account and so that we can do the tasks there that we have in Microsoft To Do.
As with One UI, it also has plenty of customization options. Creating tasks only takes seconds, and we even have the ability to create reminders based on specific locations, so you’ll be notified immediately. In fact, we can even attach important files or information to taskssuch as a telephone number or a discount coupon for example.
Secure folder
Samsung’s Knox technology provides an extra layer of security for your devices and even extends to Secure Folder. Its operation allows us to keep documents, applications, images or files separate from the rest of the mobile phone. Not just separate: also protected by the security system we choose (PIN, pattern, password or biometric data).
Inside we can have whatever we want. In fact, the default app comes with apps like Notes, Calendar or even its own Gallery. One of its best virtues is that it allows you to add applications directly from a Google Play Store accessible via Secure Folder. In this way, there will be no trace of what we download in the normal version of this store.
Samsung Internet
When browsing the Internet, the options most chosen by users always tend to be Chrome or another Chromium-based browser. However, the alternative that comes standard with One UI-enabled phones is definitely worth it. Samsung Internet offers an experience that has nothing to envy of Google’s browser, and without a doubt he deserves to give him the opportunity.
This application stands out for its very good integration with Galaxy AI, thanks to which we can summarize or translate entire web pages. In addition, we have access to a number of very useful extensions (with free and paid options). It is very simple to transfer all our extensions or bookmarks from any Chromium-based browser to Samsung Internet, so we have no excuse to try it.
