Samsung tablets still don’t have a two-bar notification panel with Android 13 | Tech Reddy

A few weeks ago, Samsung started rolling out the Android 13 update to its tablets, and the Galaxy Tab S8 series was the first to receive the update. The Android 13 update is bundled with One UI 5.0, and it’s live for the Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8+, and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra in several countries. The taskbar was one of the biggest additions of the Android 13 update. However, several features are missing from the update.

Notably, the Android 13 One UI 5.0 update for Galaxy tablets did not bring the much-awaited dual-bar notification panel and lock screen. Running on Android 13 update, the Galaxy Tab S8 also uses a single-bar notification shade like most smartphones. It displays the time and date in the top center of the notification panel, seven quick toggles, and then a brightness slider.

You’ll find Device Control and Media Output buttons under the brightest slider. Finally, in the bottom right corner is the notifications channel with shortcuts along with notification settings and clear buttons.

as noted, contrary to this 9To5Google, with Android 12L, Google developed a two-lane layout. The quick settings tiles are on the left, with a brightness slider above them. You also get a series of buttons below the QS tiles for editing, switching profiles, opening the Power menu and Settings. On the right is a list of notifications that you can access with a single swipe.

Although Android 12L introduced a two-bar layout, Samsung continues to use two-swipe gestures in the notification panel. In addition, Samsung doesn’t miss out on the large media player that sits on the right side of the watch. Currently, Samsung UI looks like a stretched phone UI.
