Now Bar Position

[Bertolo]

Samsung, I believe the Now Bar should be positioned under the lockscreen clock. It is easier to reach and feels more natural to use with one hand, plus it looks better too.

When the phone is held with one hand, the thumb points upward naturally, so it is easier to reach the Now Bar under the lock screen clock or in the middle of the phone. Check the comparisons in the pictures below.

If you want to access it another way, pull the notification shade down. Where it's at is perfect.

Far from perfect. It's hard to reach on the S24 Ultra, and I don't want to drop my phone trying to reach the awkwardly positioned Now Bar.

How? I held my S24 Ultra in 3 different ways. Still can reach it

[Bertolo]

I never said that I could not reach it; I said it was harder to reach because I have to stretch my thumb downward. When you hold the phone with one hand, your thumb points upward naturally, so it is easier to reach the Now Bar under the lock screen clock or in the middle of the phone. But if you think it is better for you on the bottom, that's fine; everybody has their own opinions.

Complete opposite for me. If you want to access it differently, just slide down from the notification tray.

@LAFadhel Or Samsung could just...give users who don't want tendonitis in their thumbs the option to move the Now Bar placement on the lock screen?

Stop telling other users what's perfect for them.

that's one extra movement what if I just want to skip a song now I gotta swipe and open another menu instead of just pressing one button
