When we discuss Samsung devices, we don’t often think about TouchWiz. Sure, it’s the default user interface found in most phones by the South Korean tech giant but we don’t usually give it enough attention unless more themes are ready or improvements are released. The UI still has some problems (what platform doesn’t?) and sadly for the Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note 5, there are issues on RAM management that device owners are only waiting for Samsung to fix.

The latest TouchWiz update we know was the Samsung Galaxy S6 getting a stock Lollipop theme. Well, that’s not exactly TouchWiz but the model still had no new TouchWiz yet. Before that, we heard of a more Android-like TouchWiz on the then upcoming Galaxy S6. This time, we heard a rumor that says Google is considering to work closely with Samsung to optimize its proprietary user interface as they want it faster and easier to use.

This new partnership is expected to make TouchWiz easier to use and offer more options for customization. Not that Samsung can’t do it on its own but Google has the right resources so it makes more sense. And perhaps instead of waiting a long time for Samsung to get things done, Google has to butt in help and make things faster and easier for everyone.

Google could also just be being careful by doing the hard work this early before things get worse and people think Android isn’t user-friendly at all. TouchWiz and Android go hand-in-hand so any issues with the UX would affect the mobile OS. No confirmation on this one yet but we won’t be surprised if it’s true because seriously, TouchWiz needs some optimization for sure.

  1. Google has enough problems with it’s own battery draining and operating systems issues especially with Google services draining everything.

    At the end of the day Google doesn’t make phones they just put their name on shit others make for them they are just like Apple.

    Samsung is technology and Android nothing else matters or comes close everything else is definitely obsolete and comically inferior.

    • At the end of the day #NothingBeatsIphone they are mobile Technology everything else is definitely obsolete and comically inferior.

    • “Google has enough problems with it’s own battery draining and operating systems issues especially with Google services draining everything.” The same “operating systems” that you use on your Note 5. Because you’re an ignorant moron who thinks Samsung’s version of Android is entirely nothing like any other version of Android.

      “At the end of the day Google doesn’t make phones they just put their name on shit others make for them they are just like Apple.” Yeah, cause Samsung uses all of the parts they manufacture in all of their phones, without ever using parts from other manufacturers. If you truly think this, you have absolutely no common sense.

      “Samsung is technology and Android nothing else matters or comes close everything else is definitely obsolete and comically inferior” And yet, without that “crappy” Android OS from Google, you “boss” Note 5 would be nothing more than a paperweight. It wouldn’t function as a phone, let alone the computing device that it is.

      • Love the fact this guy says that google is shit, and all that matters is samsung and android, as if android was not google itself -.- so much ignorance

  2. @ #Note5 IsBoss,

    You’re, uh, sadly, blatantly wrong on so very many points you are trying to make, but failing.

    Educate yourself, please.
