- Xiaomi has explained why it only offers separate panels for notifications and quick settings.
- The company claimed 90% of users chose separate panels when it allowed users to choose between the two styles.
- Samsung is expected to adopt separate panels in the upcoming One UI 7 update.
Samsung is apparently planning to implement separate dropdown panels for notifications and quick settings as part of One UI 7. This would be a massive change, as many Android phones have long offered a unified shade for both notifications and quick settings.
The Galaxy maker wouldn’t be the first major Android OEM to adopt this iOS-style option, though. A couple of years ago, Xiaomi’s MIUI allowed users to choose between separate and unified notification shade styles. Unfortunately, the company’s recent HyperOS software only offers separate dropdown panels.
