I've seen the beta online and noticed the new icons there. I'm not a huge fan of these changes because the current icons look polished and professional to me, while the new ones seem old and cartoony. The current ones feel like they have samsung's signature on them and work really well with the whole phones ui. Where as with these new ones It feels like they're trying to copy other manufacturers like Apple but are falling short. I know third-party developers in the galaxy store might provide icon packs of the old ones, but it's not cohesive enough I've never been a fan of using those. I just wish they'd keep the current design because, to be frank, the new icons are horrendous. It's all subjective of course, but i'm wondering if anyone else feels what i'm feeling.

There are some other UI changes that I'm not a huge fan of, but they may pan out to be nice. I'm sure once I get my hands on 7.0, I can customize it to my own taste. The default icons are the only thing that im dreading about this next update. Am I the only one feeling this way?

The new icons look better than the current, can you last a minute without complaining about the smallest thing in the world? They look better. Just switch to another brand if you don't like it, you're one of those people that just complain for the sake of complaining, no matter what they do

"Wow, you assumed a lot from one post, lol. Design isnā€™t objectively good or badā€”itā€™s subjective, and open discussion is how people share thoughts. That's why I posted to have a discussion. Telling me to switch phone brands over this? Thatā€™s some next-level overreaction, buddy. Maybe take a breather before jumping to wild conclusions."
