Samsung, how about letting me take over the development of One UI 9.5? Your animation design seriously needs some fresh ideas. This might sound arrogant, but I genuinely believe Samsung still hasn't figured out what a proper unlock animation should look like. Even the effects in LockStar feel like animations that simply play on the home screen after unlocking. They lack real continuity. Today, I want to show Samsung what a true unlock animation should be. I've designed an entirely new unlock animation for One UI 9.5, creating a seamless, natural spatial transition between the lock screen and the home screen. Pay close attention to the icons. They fly in from beyond the edges of the display, each with its own trajectory and timing. Instead of appearing all at once, they arrive one by one from different directions, like a meteor shower raining down from outer space. By carefully controlling the timing, motion curves, and spatial depth, the entire home screen gradually comes together before your eyes. A truly great unlock animation should make you feel like you're traveling between two worlds, not just watching a bunch of icons move around. Samsung, THIS is what I want One UI 9.5 to look like.
