- The bar now has been spotted in a Galaxy A06 5G leak
- He suggests that the cheaper and older handsets will obtain the functionality
- The bar now shows live information on the lock screen
One of our favorite features in One UI 7 (that is to say Samsung’s point of view on Android 15) is the bar now – a locking screen widget for live updates – and It seems that Samsung plans to deploy functionality beyond its flagship smartphones.
We have already seen the bar now on the Samsung Galaxy S25 and in beta form on the Samsung Galaxy S24, but the Samobile team has found evidence that it also heads for the Samsung Galaxy A06 5G more affordable.
This involves disclosed specifications and promotional material for the affordable handset, which now mentions the bar as one of the upgrades. It will be the follow -up of the Galaxy A06 LTE phone that was launched last year.
It is reassuring for those who have budgetary or median Samsung phones: the Galaxy A06 5G should be an entry -level handset, so if it can manage the display of the bar now on screen, Samsung devices The most recent and future should also be able.
UI 7 and older phones
The bar now borrows some of the ideas introduced by the dynamic island on iOS, which also displays information such as live sports scores, updates on deliveries, and even more – all you may want from constant updates and in real time.
He joins a multitude of other new features introduced with a user interface 7, including writing help fueled by AI, an improvement in safety protections and a design overhaul that introduces a more modern and more reactive interface .
However, while the bar now seems to be set to all the online galaxy handsets for one UI 7, the same goes for everything else. The now brief function, which uses AI to surface useful information as you need, will not reach older handsets (via GSMarena).
Then there is the problem of an IU 7 itself more widely. All future galaxy phones, including the Galaxy A06 5G, should be delivered with the software on board – but if you have a handset launched before 2025, you could wait a while.
