    dynamic island is a camouflage far away from your touch range and staying in the middle of every content you watch. now bar is a widget under your thumb that you can disable if don't like. besides, it disappears when you watch content, too. sounds a way better way to do.

      DarlingYext, 18 Dec 2024Looks fine? On the bottom of the display? Really? No, it... moreBottom of the the display is more reachable...what's your point??m

        justasmile, 18 Dec 2024I mean, it looks fine. its just the naming.Looks fine? On the bottom of the display? Really?

        No, it doesn't look fine, if it was at the top of the display it would be useful, but oh wait that feature is already taken by Apple, which is the only reason Samsung will put it at the bottom. Forever second place they will be.

            Whatevs, 18 Dec 2024iPhone haters enjoying dynamic island...Whatever GSMArena, ... morewell,
            iphone's dynamic island itself is inspired by Samsung's pill shaped notification bar that was introduced few years earlier.
            the only difference is the Samsung ones is located below the camera.notch, while the iphone ones cut through the camera notch.

                            I still can't believe the iSausage is catching up just like the bullet hole in the screens (notch) did...oh well, just accept and move on, will deal with it when the time comes.

                                      One ui 7 is great so far but I'd rather wait for stable final update.
