You've probably already heard that the Galaxy Note 7 ships with an updated version of Samsung's TouchWiz user interface, which has been internally codenamed Grace UX.

LG has for years let users add a fourth soft button (along with the standard set of three navigation buttons) to bring down the notification shade. Huawei's P9 has that feature too. But you still can't do this one [sic] a myriad of phones, from the HTC 10 to Samsung Galaxy S7. So if you're on those […]
Last week, a relatively lengthy video surfaced online showcasing the long-rumored updated version of TouchWiz that's expected to make its debut appearance on the upcoming Galaxy Note 7, and now we're getting our second in-depth look at the interface thanks to early adopter who has pitted the beta build of Grace UX running on his […]
We have heard multiple times that Samsung is going to introduce a new Grace UX with the Galaxy Note 7. It's basically an updated version of TouchWiz that we are all used to by now. The video offers us a look at this user experience in detail and shows us that the new UX looks […]
Samsung has been trying to address TouchWiz-related issues since the launch of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge by dialing down on software customization. The company is now trying to leverage Vulkan APIs to optimise the TouchWiz launcher. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge were the first smartphones in the world to use Vulkan APIs for improved graphics performance. […]
The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are the best of the best Samsung smartphones to have been announced in world history so far (though we’re sure the future looks even brighter than these beauties), but, as usual, the discussion among Android users remains the same, no matter how many “Galaxies” or TouchWiz iterations have come […]
We've already reported that Samsung is gearing up to announce the Galaxy S7 edge alongside its flagship Galaxy S7 at its Unpacked 2016 event on February 21, which incidentally is intentionally the day before Mobile World Congress kicks off in Barcelona. Fortunately, the rumor mill has been spinning at a rate of knots, and we've […]
We recently heard that Samsung might be teaming up with Google to optimize TouchWiz, and a new rumor today is lending further credence to that possibility. According to ITHome, Samsung will be focusing on improving the user experience with the Galaxy S7, with Google engineers helping the Korean company optimize the underlying code on its […]
Samsung has made major strides this year in optimizing TouchWiz, its proprietary user interface seen on all of its Android smartphones and tablets. But has it done enough? Not exactly, with the biggest example of the fact that there is work to be done being the RAM management issues that continue to plague even the […]
The Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 are yet to be officially unveiled by Samsung, but the company Chinese arm has pretty much done the needful by uploading the user manuals for both devices. The manuals are in Chinese and are hence impossible to decipher without the use of translation, but the included images do show something […]
Samsung introduced a revamped and streamlined user experience for the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, the new TouchWiz you find on these handsets has a simple interface and a more customizable look and feel. The company published a new infographic today which details all of the improvements that were made to TouchWiz before it found its […]
Remember those awesome screenshots that were leaked about a year ago? The leaked screenshots showcased a radical new smartphone UI, which was much different from TouchWiz at that point of time. However, we guesstimated that it was a work of a designer or a fanboy, not actually made by Samsung. When Samsung released its recent flagship […]
Samsung’s made some changes to TouchWiz in its new devices, one being the removal of a lot of Samsung apps that, in the past, were pre-loaded onto all of the company’s Galaxy smartphones. Tech analysts, critics, and consumers rallied for TouchWiz’s makeover – and here we are. Tech site Phandroid has uncovered two subtle transformations […]
Software has always been the Achilles heel for Samsung. The Korean manufacturer has always been at the forefront of making amazing hardware, but when it comes to the software, Samsung has been berated for offering a user experience that is heavily bloated (albeit with some very useful features), unoptimized and not too visually compelling. With […]

These features certainly come handy, but on the flip side, they have resulted in Samsung's software becoming extremely bloated and heavy. With the Galaxy S5, the company started removing some unneeded apps and features, […]
