- The Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 5 appear to have a “Car Crash Detect Wakeup” sensor.
- One UI 6.1 also appears to have a hidden app that contains code for starting and stopping the car crash sensor.
- This hidden app seems to also appear in older builds of One UI.
Google and Apple have offered car crash detection for handsets like the Pixel 8 series and iPhone 15 series for years. Although two of its biggest competitors have the feature, Samsung has not brought the feature to its own handsets. But there’s a chance that could change in the future.
According to Android Police, both the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 have a “Car Crash Detect Wakeup” sensor. This sensor was reportedly discovered as the outlet was playing around with the Tasker app.
