Samsung’s TouchWiz UI has slowly been transforming itself over the years, progressively pleasing more and more enthusiasts by trailing away from the bloat and clutter it was so infamous for. While there are still improvements to be made, new details show big changes might be coming.
With their upcoming “Grace UX”, Samsung is seemingly putting forth a full redesign
A video by HDBlog, as well as a companion article, give us a thorough look at what could be Samsung’s upcoming software experience. The footage shows a much cleaner UI with a light color palette and blur everywhere, a practice that Samsung has increasingly been adopting. In the end, this is almost unrecognizable from the current TouchWiz, even with the well-received Good Lock project that Samsung has released for users to try out.
The video is in Italian, but we still advise you to check it out to see how this TouchWiz replacement candidate looks and flows. Alternatively, you can check out their article where they show direct screenshots, or the gallery below where we picked the more relevant aspects of the UI:

Back in January, it was reported that HTC was going to spin off their VR division into its own separate company. This was debunked by an official HTC statement the next day, but it seems like HTC was planning on something similar.
