Samsung Galaxy S21 Series

As always, Samsung published its revised software update distribution plan, which includes several older and latest Galaxy phones and tablets. At the same time, the company has also brought us the June 2021 Android and One UI patch details, which show fixes for over 6 dozen CVEs from Google and Samsung.

Well, here we’re talking about the eligible Galaxy devices for new software updates. It’s worth mentioning that Samsung has various segments such as Galaxy S and Galaxy Note, and these models get new s/w upgrades on a monthly, quarterly, and biannual basis.

These new software updates include – new CVE fixes, security patches, system stability improvements, additional features, OS upgrades, One UI versions, and more. Usually, Samsung provides new security patches every month to the flagships, while mid-ranger and budgets get quarterly for 3 years since the official launch.

Earlier this year, the South Korean tech giant announced that it will now provide regular security updates for four years to the Galaxy devices launched in/after 2019. But, there’s a catch! In the extended fourth year, Samsung will provide only two new security updates and will discontinue official support.

Here’s why Samsung doesn’t support free widget resizing

Samsung widget resizing

Some Samsung Galaxy users have recently raised concerns about the pop-up windows for widgets on their devices. They want to resize the widgets to make them more suitable for one-handed operation, but they are unable to do so.

The main issue is that users want to resize these widgets more freely. Instead of being stuck with fixed sizes, they want to be able to adjust the size by dragging, which would make it much easier to use their devices comfortably.

Currently, most widgets only come in fixed sizes. Users mentioned that smaller widgets often look unattractive with too much empty space around them. This not only makes the screen look messy but also makes it harder to use the device with one hand.

However, a Samsung Community moderator has acknowledged the feedback. He has mentioned that while some apps allow for different widget sizes, most only support a limited selection of fixed sizes. This is due to avoiding widgets being cut off or not showing up properly.

Unfortunately, the option to freely resize all widgets isn’t available right now. This is made to keep the design clean and well-optimized. However, it can make using a device with one hand more difficult but you will surely get useful information on widgets instead of incomplete ones.

As more users express the need for better one-handed usability, Samsung is listing feedback to working on As more users request improved one-handed usability, Samsung is listening to feedback and working on optimizing widget sizes.

Allowing users to customize these sizes could make devices much easier to use, though it may also lead to some issues. However, Samsung is regularly working to provide a better experience that meets user needs. Users can expect more updates and changes related to widgets in the future.
