Galaxy Note 8 Oreo Update: 7 Reasons to Get Excited & 2 Not To

More Customization with Samsung Experience 9.0

Samsung's Experience 9.0 user interface comes with a ton of new customization options that should delight those of you that like changing your lock screen or the overall appearance of your device's software from time-to-time. 

Nothing is official, but we expect many of the elements from the Galaxy S8's Experience 9.0 UI to carry over to the Galaxy Note 8. These changes include:

• Custom colored folders that allow you to take control of how your folders look on the screen and help you stay organized in the process. 
• The lock screen clock will change color to match the wallpaper you’re using. 
• New clock styles for the device's Always-On Display. 
• New Edge lighting effects including a multi-color effect, a glow effect that makes the edges glow, and a glitter effect.

These changes are small, but they're certainly welcomed given how much we all stare at our screens. It's nice to change it up sometimes.
