Samsung One UI 4.1 vs Apple iOS 15: Smart Widgets
Widgets are a necessary part of Home Screen customization for every smartphone. Users can visualize them as “at a glance” views of the most necessary data and performance of the app that the user can access directly from the home screen.
Users can move widgets in their home screen panels and, if supported, resize the widgets to their liking at will. Well, in this article we are going to have an overview of widgets for two different OS, Samsung One UI 4.1 and Apple iOS 15. Along the way, we will also explore how both the OSes differ from each other in terms of smart widgets.
Samsung One UI 4.1 Smart Widgets
Samsung One UI 4.1 comes with several notable improvements that fulfill the user’s expectations. Furthermore, with the addition of new innovative Smart Widgets, users can stack up to 7 Smart Widgets including third-party apps that they can view by swiping left or right.
The Smart Rotation provides convenient and significant information by automatically analyzing user contexts and behaviors, as well as displaying highly relevant stacked widgets.
In addition, the three glance widgets display the most relevant widgets based on user views, and widgets can be shown or removed automatically. For instance, if you have a calendar event in the next 30 minutes – an upcoming events widget will appear, notifying the event’s user of the time remaining for the event and related details.
Apple iOS 15 Widget
In iOS 15, Apple is pushing smart stocks further with widget instructions, which automatically add and remove widgets to smart stocks based on context. For instance, if the user already has a smart stock containing the weather and reminder widget, iOS 15 can add a calendar widget to the stock if the user has an upcoming meeting.
Then, after the meeting, iOS 15 removes the widget from the smart stock, moving it back to the user-set-up stock with the weather and reminders. Apple hopes that this new feature, which will be disabled on a per-smart stock basis, will enable users to discover new and useful widgets.
One UI 4.1 vs iOS 15, which one is more suitable!
Undoubtedly, Samsung One UI 4.1 comes with awesome, neat, and detailed Samart Widget features, compared to the Apple iOS 15. Although both operating systems always come with different features, but iOS 15 provides features for limited usage for its users. And, I’m very sure, you’ll only love Samsung One UI 4.1.
