00:06 Hi everyone, welcome back to the channel.
00:09 If you're new here, don't forget to hit that subscribe button and ring the bell icon so
00:14 you never miss out on future tech videos and tutorials.
00:17 In today's video, I'll show you the new features of One UI 9 on the Samsung Galaxy
00:22 A17, one by one, with practical demonstrations so you can follow along on your own phone.
00:28 In my last video, I showed you how to upgrade your Samsung Galaxy A17 from One UI 8.5 to
00:35 One UI 9.
00:36 If you missed it, the link is in the description.
00:39 Quick note, One UI 9 features can vary by model and region, so some of these may look different
00:45 on your phone.
00:51 Let's get started.
00:52 The first new feature is Warranty and Care.
00:55 Open Settings.
00:56 Here, you'll notice a new option called Warranty and Care.
01:01 On some devices, its position in the Settings menu may be different.
01:06 Open it, and you'll find useful information and support options related to your phone.
01:11 Here, you can easily check your phone's official warranty information.
01:15 It also helps you to run diagnostic tests and find help for issues related to performance,
01:20 battery, charging, damage, or repairs.
01:22 This is a useful addition because you can find device support in one place instead of searching
01:27 through different menus.
01:28 Just remember that warranty information depends on your device's purchase date, warranty terms,
01:35 and regional availability.
01:37 The next feature is Search and Finder on the home screen.
01:41 One UI 9 integrates the Google search bar and Finder tool more closely.
01:45 If you don't see it on your home screen right away, here is how to enable it.
01:50 Open Settings.
01:55 Tap on Home Screen.
02:00 Scroll down to Show Search on Home Screen.
02:11 Turn on both options.
02:16 Now they appear on the home screen.
02:18 You can use Search to look for information and Finder to locate apps or other items on your
02:24 phone.
02:24 If you don't like them, you can easily turn it off using the exact same steps.
02:36 Brightness and Volume in the Quick Panel.
02:38 The Quick Panel has a fresh look.
02:40 On my Galaxy A17, Brightness and Volume controls have a thicker appearance, making them easier
02:47 to see and adjust.
02:49 Dark Mode also gets its own separate toggle icon instead of being merged into the Brightness
02:54 bar and the Sound Mode toggle icon separated from the Volume slider.
02:57 You can also customize the size and position of supported controls.
03:02 This means you can organize the Quick Panel in a way that works better for you.
03:11 The next feature is the updated music player in Quick Panel.
03:15 When you play music, you'll notice a more dynamic visual effect on the media player.
03:20 The animated waveform moves along with the music, giving the interface a more modern look.
03:26 But that's not the only change.
03:29 You can also resize the media player in the Quick Panel and adjust its position which was
03:33 not allowed in One UI 8.5.
03:43 Feature 5.
03:44 My Files and Built-in PDF Reader.
03:47 Open the My Files app.
03:49 My Files is better organized in One UI 9.
03:52 The interface displays storage information more clearly and everything in a well-organized
03:57 way which helps you understand how much space you're using and how much is available.
04:02 Another useful change is built-in PDF Reader on my phone.
04:05 I'll demonstrate how a PDF document opens from my files without use of any third-party app.
04:11 It reads PDF document.
04:18 Now here's one of the most interesting features, Motion Assist.
04:23 Have you ever tried looking at your phone while traveling in a car or bus and started feeling
04:28 uncomfortable or motion sick?
04:31 I'll see you next time.
04:32 To enable it, go to your Google account settings and tap All Services.
04:42 Now scroll down to Personal and Device Safety and here you see Motion Assist.
04:51 Small visual bubbles or dots appear along the edges of your screen and move in response
04:57 to the vehicle's movement.
04:58 This may help your eyes and body better coordinate what you're seeing and feeling.
05:05 Tap Add Tile to Quick Settings to put a toggle in your Quick Panel.
05:13 Another useful part is customization.
05:16 Depending on the available options, you can change the bubble's color, shape, and opacity
05:22 to suit your preference.
05:24 Motion Assist is designed to help reduce motion sickness when you're using your phone
05:28 as a passenger in a moving vehicle.
05:33 The next feature is related to the phone app and call history.
05:39 Open the phone app and tap Recents at the bottom.
05:48 Now tap the three-dot menu in the top corner.
05:52 Look for an option called Show Calls from Other Apps.
05:56 Once enabled, your call history from apps like WhatsApp, IMO, Viber, and WeChat will show
06:03 up right alongside your regular calls.
06:06 You can just as easily hide them again through the same menu if you prefer.
06:10 Now let's move on to accessibility, especially if you want to make your phone easier to use.
06:16 Open Settings and scroll down to Accessibility.
06:19 Here you'll find an option called What's New in One UI 9 if it's available on your software
06:25 version.
06:26 Open it and you'll see information about new accessibility features.
06:30 Some options also include a try it out button, allowing you to test them before deciding
06:36 whether you want to use them.
06:38 Let's quickly go through some of the options shown here.
06:41 Text Spotlight helps make text easier to focus on by highlighting or enlarging it, depending
06:47 on the feature's implementation.
06:48 physical keyboard shortcuts can help users perform supported actions using keyboard combinations.
06:55 Mouse Keys provides more control for people who use a physical keyboard or need an alternative
07:00 way to move the pointer.
07:02 You'll also find information about changes to single-tap controls, TalkBack, and Select
07:08 to Speak.
07:09 TalkBack provides spoken feedback to help people navigate the phone, while Select to Speak can
07:14 read selected on-screen content aloud.
07:17 These features may not be something every user needs, but they can make a big difference
07:22 for people who benefit from accessibility tools.
07:25 That's everything I found in One UI 9 on the Galaxy A17.
07:29 Which feature is your favorite?
