[List] Samsung AOD (Always On Display) supported Galaxy devices

Always On Display is an old yet useful feature for those people who don’t like to unlock their phones just to check the time, date, notifications, missed calls, battery level, and other information. It’s also remarkable for those who like to customize their phone in distinct ways and want their phone’s lock screen to look different.
With the Samsung One UI, you can do even more with AOD. The company provides a variety of clocks and designs, you can choose colors and wallpapers or can even select a picture from the gallery to put on your Always On Display screen.

Besides the basics, Galaxy users can experience various widgets on the AOD screen by double-tapping the clock area, can easily play music on the off-screen, or check schedules and alarms. You can also pin text and images that you want to remember every time.
Unfortunately, not every smartphone user can take advantage of this wonderful feature. The companies only provide the Always On Display on the devices that features AMOLED and Super AMOLED screen as they consume less battery.
Many of you might have known the AOD feature and have used it before on your Galaxy device. But some people do not even know whether their phone supports it or not. They must be glad to know that we have created a list of Samsung Galaxy smartphones that supports Always On Display.
You can check the list of devices that are mentioned below.

How to enable Always On Display in Samsung:
By default, Always On Display only appears when you tap the screen. Follow these steps to change the settings to allow the screen to be displayed continuously or for a set amount of time.
- Open the Settings app.
- Go to the Lock screen.
- Click on Always On Display.
- Tap the switch at the top of the screen to turn it on.
- Choose the mode that best suits your needs:
- Tap to show: The Always On Display will appear for a short time after tapping the screen.
- Show always: The Always On Display will be continuously shown whenever the phone is locked.
- Show as scheduled: You can set up a schedule for when Always On Display will show. For example, you can make it display during the day but turn it off at night.
Download Always On Display Themes
In case you have totally bored of those stock Always On Display designs, I recommend using the AOD Themes available on Galaxy Store. However, you need to purchase your favorite Theme, in the same you might do while purchasing Fonts or Icons. Here’s how.

Galaxy S24 FE features Samsung’s most eye-friendly display, beats S25 Ultra

Galaxy S24 FE reportedly brings a secret display trick that other Samsung phones lack. The company’s recent Fan Edition phone comes with an intelligent high-brightness mode feature that’s missing even in the S25 Ultra.
AndroidCentral’s Nicholas Sutrich found a secret display feature in the Galaxy S24 FE. The phone’s high brightness mode is different from the one found in other Samsung phones, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra flagship.
In-depth testing revealed that the Galaxy S24 FE switches to a DC-like dimming method in High Brightness Mode. It enables the phone to offer Samsung’s most eye-friendly screen experience to Galaxy consumers.
Using a light meter and flashlight to simulate sunlight, the S24 FE’s HBM activated, showing no PWM flicker.

While PWM dimming limits the brightness potential of the panel, the S24 FE’s hack turns out to be a game-changer. During testing, HBM on the S24 FE unlocked double the brightness compared to Samsung’s standard “100% brightness” setting.
Most modern phones activate HBM in bright sunlight to boost screen visibility. The Galaxy S24 FE takes it further by switching from PWM to DC dimming in HBM. This unlocks the display’s full brightness potential, unlike other Samsung phones.
PWM dimming rapidly turns pixels on and off to adjust brightness. Meanwhile, DC dimming, used by the S24 FE in HBM, adjusts voltage instead of flickering pixels.
The Galaxy S24 FE brings an improved display with DC dimming in HBM, offering eye-friendly visuals. Samsung should build on this by giving users control over dimming modes, making its phones truly user-centric.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 caught running Android 16 (One UI 8) in early benchmark

Samsung has just resumed the One UI 7 rollout for Galaxy Z Flip 6 and others, but the flip phone is already testing the next big upgrade, Android 16-based One UI 8.
In a recent development, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 was spotted on Geekbench with Android 16-based One UI 8. Google is aiming to release the new OS by June this year, and Samsung seems to be already optimizing it on Galaxy devices.
Well, Geekbench listing of a Galaxy Z Flip 6 running Android 16 is no longer a shocker. Before this virtual performance test, we’ve seen a hands-on video of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with the unreleased One UI 8 software with subtle upgrades.
Talking about performance, the device scored 1749 and 3941 points in single-core and multi-core tests. The scores are comparatively low but would increase further as the optimization progresses during the internal testing before the public Beta.

Is One UI 8 coming early?
Foldables seeing love is tagged with the fact that the upcoming Samsung foldables will ship with the new OS. It’s going to be a pretty significant switch in Samsung’s software strategy, but it aligns with the changes Google made to Android.
After a significant delay in One UI 7, the company seems to be advancing the One UI 8 version. Since it’s unlikely to bring major design changes, we may see the Beta Program backtrack in Q3, followed by a Stable rollout in Q4 this year.

US Galaxy Z Fold7 packs Snapdragon 8 Elite, runs Android 16 (One UI 8); performance revealed

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon 8 Elite and Android 16 OS. The upcoming foldable phone scored striking on the benchmark platform as well as confirmed some of the key specifications.
Galaxy Z Fold7 US variant has appeared on Geekbench with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset; the phone was running the Android 16-based One UI 8 operating system. It’s the second time we are getting confirmation on chip and OS.
On Geekbench 6.4, Samsung’s SM-F966U scored 3022 Single-Core Score and 9307 Multi-Core Score. Since the device is still in development, there’s a scope for more improvement in both single-core and multi-core scores by July.
The listing also confirmed that the next Samsung foldable won’t miss out on the most powerful Snapdragon chip. The device will pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy with an 8-core CPU, featuring a peak frequency of 4.47GHz.
Samsung will debut the new OS in H2 itself rather than kicking off Beta in Q3 and Stable rollout in Q4. The move aligns with Google’s plans to advance the development of Android so OEMs can ship their new devices with the latest OS version.

Source – Geekbench
This listing belongs to a US carrier model, but the international variant is highly likely to have the same specifications. Samsung is considering the Exynos chip for the next Flip phones, but there’s little chance of Exynos on the Fold model.
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 around July this year. An affordable Flip model may also be introduced along with the two devices.

Shocking! Hackers install One UI 8 on Galaxy S23, A54 and more devices, skipping One UI 7

Power user community ported the leaked Android 16-based One UI 8 firmware for several Samsung devices. The list of ported One UI 8 compatible phones include the Galaxy S23, Galaxy A54, Galaxy A33 and a 6-year-old Galaxy J6 (2018).
One UI 7 hasn’t yet rolled out, but some power users are already rocking One UI 8 on their Samsung Galaxy S23, A54, A33, and J6. Someone has ported the Z Flip6’s leaked One UI 8, making it installable on a wide range of models.
While it sounds pretty interesting, the installation is a whole tricky process. It requires your phone to be rooted and custom recovery installed for manually flashing an unofficial/ported firmware on your device by replacing the first-party OS.
You should avoid manual firmware installation on your primary device.
The One UI 8 will bring Android 16 to Samsung devices. The Beta Program is said to launch earlier, filling the gap of the One UI 7 delay. The company has briefly availed One UI 8 on its remote test lab, and we’ve seen a Z Fold 6 running the new OS.

The next One UI version could tweak the design elements of system applications. We’ve seen leaked images of My Files and Gallery with the noticeable redesign. The Now Brief may also be expanded to non-Galaxy S25 devices with One UI 8.
Samsung’s One UI 8 could focus on refining the One UI 7 experience. It is unlikely to be a major upgrade in terms of new features and design changes. The development may focus on improving the overall user experience and stability.
Before the One UI 8, Samsung will provide you with the One UI 7 update. It’s one of the biggest upgrades in the history of Galaxy devices. You get a fresh new design, smooth animations, brand-new features, and an enhanced Galaxy AI suite.

Apple Foldable gears up to challenge Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold dynasty

As the foldable smartphone segment is now somewhat mature, Apple is gearing up to enter the market. Apple is reportedly working on its first foldable display, and leaked specs hint at a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold-inspired device with UDC tech.
Leaker DigitalChatStation revealed the Apple foldable device’s display specs, including size, resolution, and UDC camera. The selfie camera would be inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold, boasting a punch hole and an under-display camera.
The inner screen is expected to measure around 7.76 inches. It boasts a crisp 2713×1920 resolution, perfect for vibrant visuals. It features under-display camera technology, hiding the selfie camera for a seamless, edge-to-edge look.
When folded, the outer screen comes in at about 5.49 inches. Its 2088×1422 resolution ensures sharp details for quick tasks. Unlike the inner display, it uses a punch-hole camera design, a practical choice for a compact front screen.
Apple may source foldable OLED screens exclusively from Samsung Display, as per BusinessKorea.
These specs suggest Apple is blending style with function. The larger inner display could rival small tablets, ideal for multitasking or media. Meanwhile, the outer screen offers convenience without unfolding, similar to existing foldable phones.
The under-display camera on the inner screen is a bold move. However, a recent rumor claimed that Samsung could ditch the UDC camera from future foldable phones, given the little scope for improvements without increasing costs.
The leaked information came from a trusted industry insider/source. As the development and testing progress, things may not remain the same. Therefore, we suggest you take this information as a pinch of salt.
Stay tuned for more updates as Apple’s plans unfold.
