NowBar like Widgets?

[LAFadhel]

Instead of launching directly into the App, why don't we use what we already have. Samsung Health and Calander for example.

If we click the widget, it brings it up like an expanded Now Bar but utilizes Z Flip Cover Screen Widgets. There is an option to directly launch into the App.

As someone who came from Z Flip 5 to S series... the Z flip cover screen is arguably the best thought-out interface in Samsung's arsenal. (Especially with Good Lock Launcher.) Other devices in the lineup should 100% be taking cues from Z Flip.

Maybe niche, but my dream phone is one that functions like the Z Flip cover screen in a full-size form factor.

Yes. I believe Samsung can make things infinitely easier for themselves if they just unified their features across lineups.

I personally believe Samsung could set themselves apart from the rest of the industry by implementing a UI across devices similar to the Z Flip Cover & Galaxy Watches...

On those devices, the lock screen and home screen are basically the same thing. Swipe down for controls, swipe up for apps with favorites pinned,
Swipe right for notifications, Swipe left for full screen widgets/tiles.

Again, this is probably pretty niche, but it makes so much sense in a UI where apps are already represented as cards/tiles.

[LAFadhel]

Yes. It would make their development time significantly simpler and faster. It's why Apple is successful.

The iPhone and iPad are still similar.
