Pretty basic for skin but nice to see a cool animation when charging and shows the rectangle show it fill up green until full to show fully charged. The only issue is, that I would like to see when plugged in charging to show on screen the percentage change while charging, even when screen is off, like the Samsung device do. Just a blank screen and you have to unlock device to see how far the charge is going. There is really no customization on the skin. Themes is just TCL one or classic. Wallpapers basic. Nothing like a store to add more themes, icons or wallpapers. You have to download and sync your phone and add your own stuff to customize but no luck with icons unless you use a launcher.
OEM software / additions are significantly with the Android 11 update compared to how present it was in the Android 10 build. This is a welcome change. It mostly stays out of the way and seems to provide a fairly close to stock Android experience with 11.
Yeah, I got android 11 update but really seems the same with minor changes or features than what I posted before. Battery seems to last little longer.

It runs stock Android, so it looks as good as any Nexus. The camera app could look a bit better - a nicer shutter animation for example, but other than that the software looks good.
Sent from my Moto E5 using XDA Labs
The bloatware (assurance wireless e5 Play version has all Moto, plus Sprint, plus AW apps) isn't too intrusive in itself; but the system apps partition is too big and of course updates consume space on the public partition, which gets filled quickly. My only real interest in rooting will be to move apps & updates to the system partition.
I like their version of the clock but I wish they'd let me change the weather provider to OpenWeather. I might have to change the launcher just to do that; and see if I can keep their clock while with OW that way.
Their version of Facebook seems to be the customized version also used on other "Free" phones, which brings pop-up ads to the Launcher. Disabling it and installing FB Lite app kills this. I don't know if models for regular services have unmodified Facebook apps or not.

New interface is good, but I was looking for a fullscreen version I dont wanna see the navbar, then why not fullscreen immersive experience, as I see most of the phones even redmi offers it..
Waiting for this update.
Vanilla Android, what more can you say
Not sure about the Android 9 swipe stuff. Coming from 7.1, I am missing the app drawer icon and recent apps button. I'm sure I will get used to it, but change for change's sake is not needed.

Not sure it will come soon. In the meantime, you can try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
It seems it does what you're looking for, I've been using it for the last month with no trouble.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will be trying out for sure, however with spilt pill and 6T setup in navbar by xda, I feel pretty comfortable ...
Thanks mate..

I prefer using Next Launcher 3D. (version 3.20.2) It have some quirks but after setting it up works wonders. As my average full charge sustain about 2 days this app use less than 300mАh which is just few % from the charge. And although it is really old version is stable. I prefer it more than the stock launcher because of the many custom options. The only real problem is that it doesn`t let me use just any widgets but only some of them. Still I chose to sacrifice them in the name of the overall usefulness of the launcher. And yes, I know the version is old but it`s the only one I have from backup of my previous phone and for some reason the launcher is removed from the playstore. So I work with what I have.
For main theme I use [MINU]Dark Mint from the samsung themes.
If you have the problem with borders around the icons after applying new theme and the option in menu "Display" - "Icon frames" is locked in gray, even when set up before that in mode "icons only" there is workaround. Just install new icon pack. BUT! Not everyone works, most of them just change the color of the frames. So you will have to search.
I found working ones and for icon pack I prefer [TMA] Flat Candy Icons, although "Absolute Delight" also look very well. All of them are free, again in samsung themes store.
I`m currently looking for a solution for making the sliding notifications panel black with white text. For now I have found a theme making almost what I want here, in xda forum but I`m still searching for better solution.

Heavily skinned stupid settings arrangement and full with bloatware like tiktok, news app (baca plus), currier apps (J&T) you name it but you can uninstall it through adb. not my forte, hoping to custom rom this phone soon
Coming from OxygenOS, I think Realme UI is not as nice, but nothing's unbearably bad either.
Settings: Takes some time to get used to the nonstandard setting. I keep forgetting where Network Permissions is located.
Fonts: A very important aspect for me. The choice of font weight with Real Choice font (Realme UI 2.0 only) is interesting. Unfortunately, that sort of lowercase "a" is instant nope. I'd be fine with the Theme Store system, even willing to throw in some dimes for a nice font, if only they actually have fonts that look nice. As it is, the Store's swamped with unusable fancy cursive and colored fonts, so I'm using zFont instead. Further down the line, maybe I'll replace the default font using adb to get proper bold system fonts.

I'm a first-time user coming from lawnchair. I decided to give One UI a shot.
This is my list of disadvantages compared to other launchers:
Lack of support for custom icon packs / icon shapes without using themes, which requires an account
You can't hide applications from the application drawer without also hiding them from the home screen. I don't want duplicate icons in the app drawer that are already accessible on the home screen
Sorting the apps alphabetically does not include application groups; they are placed in front of the alphabetically sorted list of apps
I dislike the jumpy icons when closing an app
I will most likely return to lawnchair as launcher.
I would like to have a colored icon in the status bar like in Android 2.3
The rest is why I choose Samsung )
