Next, you can add any text on the lock screen, it could be your name, phone number, Email ID, or a thought you like. Furthermore, you can allow wallet access on the lock screen, so whenever you need to make a quick payment you can do so without unlocking your phone.

In addition to these, you can allow control for external devices from the lock screen, enable now playing content to show on the lock screen as well as turn on the ability to identify songs playing nearby.

There’s also a double-line clock feature, a Tap to check the phone, a Lift to check the phone, a Wake screen for notifications, and other features. Aside from these, if you want to change your phone’s lock or manage other lock screen settings, you will need to go to different sections.

One UI 5.0 Lock Screen:

Samsung One UI 5.0 offers all the lock screen-related settings in one place. You will not only see different lock screen security functions here but also the ability to manage Smart Lock and Secure lock screen settings.

Next, you have the ability to manage the lock screen with different wallpapers, filters, clocks styles, app shortcuts, stickers, and text, as well as lock screen widgets from this section. In addition, One UI 5.0 also brings the ability to edit the lock screen from the lock screen itself.

In addition to these, you can also personalize the Always On Display settings with different clock styles, screen orientation, and others from this section. Additionally, you can also manage the Roaming clock.

Last but not least, the One UI 5.0 Lock Screen section offers the ability to manage Notification as well. You can choose whether you want to show notification content on the screen or not, show silent or alert notifications, and more.

Android 13 vs One UI 5.0 – Lock Screen:

It’s hard to choose one as both Android 13 and One UI 5.0 has great lock screen features. Many features are the same, however, there are some Galaxy features that are not in Pixel phones and there are some Pixel features that are not available in Galaxy phones.

If you are already using a Samsung phone and are used to using lock screen app shortcuts, then you might find a bit inconvenience using Pixel phones as they are not available there. Instead, you will get some great features to manage more functions from the lock screen itself.

There could be many professions but writing about tech is something that I've chosen and it's what I've been doing. Besides this, I like sketching, roaming, and shopping. I am a casual person and like to taste different dishes and Chinese is my favourite.

Samsung Galaxy A54 Vs Google Pixel 7a

Google is about to introduce the Pixel 7a, a new affordable smartphone to its Android portfolio. The Pixel 6a made excellent profits for the OEM, which is benefiting fruitful upgrades on its sequel, however, Samsung Galaxy A54 is still a great choice over the Google Pixel 7a.

Samsung Galaxy A54 is way better than Google Pixel 7a, let’s compare key specs.

Display

Google’s upcoming Pixel 7a reportedly brings a 6.1 inches OLED display, with a 90Hz refresh rate, up from 6a’s 60Hz. While the Pixel 7a is getting an upgrade to a 90Hz panel, Samsung’s Galaxy A54 is already equipped with a pro-grade 6.4 inches 120Hz Super AMOLED screen.

Camera

Pixel 7a is also getting upgrade in the main camera as a new 64-megapixel sensor, which features optical image stabilization and phase detection autofocus technology. On the flip side, the Galaxy A54 brings a 50-megapixel primary camera, which delivers stunning images anytime, anywhere.

Moreover, both smartphones come with a 12-megapixel ultrawide image sensor with the same f/2.2. While Google’s upcoming phone is capped at two sensors for imaging, the Galaxy A54 features a 5-megapixel macro lens so you can capture close-up shots, such as nature, too.

Samsung’s best 2023 mid-range phone is equipped with a 32-megapixel front camera, while Pixel 7a reportedly brings a 10.8-megapixel lens for selfies and video calling. Notably, both phones promise great AI capabilities to let you shoot in the nighttime too.

Design

Both phones feature matching designs as Samsung and Google’s flagship portfolios. The Pixel 7a brings a horizontal bar on the camera lenses, which expands from the left to right end, which seems thin compared to Pixel 7. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A54 has the same design as the Galaxy S23 flagship.

Software

The Galaxy A54 runs One UI 5.1 out of the box, while the Pixel 7a runs Android 13 in its purest form. Google owns Android, but the real and longest support provider is Samsung. With A54, you will get OS upgrades up to Android 17, while Pixel 7a will stick to Android 16.

Performance & Battery

Samsung’s own-made Exynos 1380 5nm processor powers the Galaxy A54, which is an octa-core chip featuring 4×2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 and a Mali-G68 MP5 GPU.

The Pixel 7a brings 5nm Tensor G2 processor, featuring 2×2.85 GHz Cortex-X1 & 2×2.35 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4×1.80 GHz Cortex-A55 and Mali-G710 MP7 GPU.

Battery Widget Android 13 One UI 5.1

Battery Widget: One UI 5.1 Vs Android 13

Showcased at the SDC 2023, Samsung’s Battery Widget arrive on Galaxy devices with the One UI 5.1 update in February. Galaxy users after upgrading their phone to the One UI 5.1 version can use the feature to get updated with info about how much juice is left in their devices.

One UI 5.1’s battery status widget introduces two different styles including a “Circles” 4×1 and a “List” 4×2. You can expand the area by two times vertically, while it’s not possible to reduce the occupation area, which is the worst thing I noticed.

On the other hand, the Android 13 battery widget has just a single choice but it’s way too advance, as compared to the One UI 5.1. The widget takes size as per the number of devices paired with the smartphone, if you don’t have any, it will remain single-linear.

One UI vs Android

Not that all, the widget is interactive as the system Settings’ battery tab gets opened as soon as you tap the widget. Similar to One UI 5.1, the Android 13’s widget adapts to system settings whether it’s in Light mode or Dark mode for a well-optimized home screen appearance.

Earlier, we compared the Battery widget of One UI 5.1 and Apple iOS 16, which was a tough fight between both. However, the One UI requires work on optimization and usability improvements are necessary to make it better than rivals including Android and iOS.

Since One UI 5.1’s battery widget is just the initial version, we believe Samsung will work on it and make notable improvements. The One UI 6.0 will be the next major version for Galaxy devices, likely to release later this year, you can check our features wishlist below.
