Hello, im using the galaxy A56 and it's a great phone overall but i still don't understand the need to change the media player from the old expanded great look to this pill shaped thing, that I need to tap on it to see where am I in the song, and I still dont know why when I expand it and turn off the screen and turn it back on it goes back to that pill shaped thing called "now bar". So samsung if you're going to name it a NOW bar i suggest you make it more useful than just a little pill down the lock screen, and i know this is an inspiration from IOS but at least Apple did it right. I used iphones before and i can say that samsung is still far from making the perfect UI to its phones. So, yeah samsung do your best please.
Also i'm completely bored with the AoD on this phone, SAMSUNG please look at the other competitors like xiaomi and honor and one plus...etc. especially for 500 bucks they get the smooth transition from the AoD to lock screen whereas here i get a chopped half backed pop up to lock screen? Come on man give me an update to have some smooth animations.
"Buy a better phone" is what they want you to do. In order to not have buyer's remorse after I buy a phone, I always pay the most and get the best. Same with buying a car. You don't want to say This is good enough for me and then wish you had the step up that your neighbor has. It's up to you though. However, Samsung won't put all the cool features in the cheap phones, or you'll end up paying what I do.
Now Bar isn't AI, Now Bar is just a stack interactive shortcut from lockscreen, however Now Brief is and Now Brief exclusive to S25 Series atm
also i agree Awesome Intelligence is not actually Galaxy AI, it's only part of it. Best Face is the only part Galaxy AI. Something like Object Remover already sat there since A33 or A53 era, Samsung first introduce Galaxy AI starting from 6.1, but sure anyone can count it as part of Galaxy AI, but myself exclude it
so if you wanna actual Galaxy AI, buy at least S24 FE
