Sooner or later, they will. They always do.

Absolutely insane how Google was light years ahead of Samsung's Touchwiz but are now borrowing ideas from them

[–] SuperSpecialNickname@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't a large number of ideas come from Samsung, like split screen for example?

[–] HeisenbergsName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's one of them, yep. Another one IIRC is a volume warning when setting it too high

But in fairness to Google, Samsung copied them (and Apple) when they yeeted the headphone jack /s

You got a point there πŸ€” /s

I do really like the way the taskbar is implemented on my Tab S8. A held press causes it to disappear or reappear. Several configurable slots, and also possible to use folders. Two recent apps shown to the right. A quick shortcut to the apps list. Apps can be dragged into splitscreen view from the taskbar. It works better than windows taskbar honestly! Only downside is I need to use the official launcher.
