Edge Panels vs OnePlus Smart Sidebar: Samsung is way too SMART!
Samsung Galaxy phones carry an interesting feature called Edge Panels that lets you access various features of One UI. Edge Panels is a quite common feature among Samsung customers, while, there’s a funny variant in OnePlus devices called Smart Sidebar.
OxygenOS’s Smart Sidebar is not really smart as the advanced variant is exclusively available in One UI, and Samsung calls it Edge Panel. Similar to Samsung, OnePlus let users add a handle in the display edge to expand the Smart Sidebar.

Swiping the handle right opens the stripped-down variant of Samsung Edge Panels with a handful of functions and manually added apps. The maximum expansion layout of the OnePlus’ Sidebar is 6 × 2, and users can access the remaining apps by scrolling down.

Talking about responsiveness, it adopts both light and dark modes as per the phone’s settings, however, the handle allows users to adjust the position throughout the edge. The look and feel of this feature are basic with solid background color and it has a button letting you customize the apps and buttons.
On contrary, Samsung lets you quickly access your favorite apps, features, and contacts from Edge panels. Unlike the limited possibilities of the OnePlus Sidebar, Samsung’s Edge Panels feature offers users add up to 10 panels that can be accessed through pagination functionality.
The panels include Tasks, Tools, Edge People, Apps, Smart select, People, Live messages, Weather, Reminder, Clipboard, System Monitor, Calendar and Direct Call. All of these panels have additional features and tools that take the user’s experience to a whole new level.
The design of Edge Panels is pretty awesome with a layout of 6 × 2, similar to the OnePlus Smart Sidebar. Instead of solid colors, the Edge Panels feature has a transparent feel that makes icons and text clearly visible. You can also access more added apps by scrolling down from the Apps Edge panel.
Not that all! There’s a lot to explore about Samsung Edge Panels.
