WHAT IS SAMSUNG EXPERIENCE?
Samsung Experience (stylized as SɅMSUNG Experience) was a software overlay for the Android "launcher" by Samsung for its Galaxy devices running Android Nougat and Android Oreo. It was introduced in late 2016 on a beta build based on Android Nougat for the Galaxy S7, succeeding TouchWiz. It has been succeeded by One UI based on Android Pie and higher
WHEN HAS IT EMERGED?
TouchWiz was the former name Samsung used for its UI and icons. It was originally released on June 4, 2010, for the Galaxy S smartphone. Reviewers had criticized Samsung for including too many features and bloat, especially in the Galaxy S4, which included what many users called a Samsung "feature creep". In the following years, though, Samsung had incrementally removed the bloatware and extra features, until TouchWiz was no longer recognized as TouchWiz, leading them to rename it as Samsung Experience.
Edge UX
The "Edge" (curved glass at the edge of the screen) was originally introduced in the Galaxy Note Edge, and popularized with the Galaxy S6 Edge.
Edge panels
Yahoo! sports, finance, and news are panels that are included with the phone. A user can download extra panels for ease of use, such as an RSS reader, Twitter trends.
Quick tools
With quick tools, the Edge transforms into a ruler, compass, or flashlight.
Edge feeds
When a user swipes the edge of the screen and the screen is off, the edge display turns on and displays missed calls, the current time, weather, and news.
Grace UX
First released with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 for Android Marshmallow, the Grace UX was named after the device's codename, and eventually made its way to older devices, including the Galaxy Note 5 through an update (Korea and eventually to other countries), and the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge through the official Android Nougat update. The Grace UX features a cleaner, flatter look to iconography and extensive use of white space. TouchWiz Grace UX devices also benefit from the Secure Folder functionality, which enables users to keep certain data, and even apps, behind a secure password.
Always-on display
Most of Samsung's mobile devices have AMOLED displays and the screen is left mostly black when the always-on display is active; only illuminated pixels require power since they are LEDs. The screen will display the current time, the calendar, or a selected image. There are different styles for each option. Later on, additional functionality was added to turn on the always-on display feature either in a scheduled manner or keep it always on. The always-on display also adjusts its brightness as per the ambient light brightness automatically.
Game Launcher
Any game that a user download is combined into a single folder. In that folder, one can optimize frame rate and resolution. It includes Game Tools, a button that appears when a user is playing a game. When tapped, it can mute notifications, turn off the capacitive keys, minimize the game, screenshot, and record gameplay.
Bixby
Bixby is an assistant that launched with the Samsung Galaxy S8. It replaces S Voice on Samsung phones and has three parts, including Bixby Voice, Bixby Vision and Bixby Home. Bixby Voice can be triggered by saying "Hey Bixby" or pressing and holding the button located below the volume rocker, dubbed the Bixby Button. Bixby Vision is built into the camera app and can "see" what one can see as it is essentially an augmented reality camera that can identify objects in real-time, search for them on various services, and offer the user to purchase them if available. Bixby is also able to translate text and recognize landmarks
