A large part of the Apple user community and even some Android users are amazed by the main novelty of the iPhone 14 Pro : Dynamic Island. However, it should be noted that it is simply a crude copy of a feature that Samsung has already squeezed for a while.
This pill that replaces the notch on the iPhone allows you to be aware of all kinds of information in an instant, whether it’s checking the paired devices, changing the song, answering a call or a long list of other options. An addition that iPhone fans have found interesting to make the leap to the new generation, but that Android already invented a long time ago and today is still present in some mobile phones in a much more advanced way.
Dynamic Island at Samsung is better
We already talked on one occasion that back in Android 5.0 , Google’s operating system allowed to take advantage of a function that exactly fulfilled the purpose of Dynamic Island in the iPhone 14 Pro. However, the Mountain View company ended up discarding this option for a unknown reason.
Instead, Samsung decided to continue with it a few years ago through One UI, its customization layer. This resulted in a kind of dynamic island that is more refined than Apple’s for several reasons. The first is that it doesn’t always stay present and this is something that iPhone users have complained about, since on dark wallpapers the result is somewhat strange and annoying.
In the system of the South Korean brand, it appears to show the corresponding notification and disappears instantly, something that is greatly appreciated for not getting in the way on the screen. In addition, it has a huge number of customization possibilities both when it comes to choosing the effect that it does when it appears on the screen and the color, which you can choose to your liking.

In fact, you can also modify the transparency, width and duration of this Dynamic Island from Samsung. A very interesting aspect that is far from the possibilities that Apple offers in its iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. Of course, we must bear in mind that Tim Cook’s brand may update its function in the future to add these and more new features, but for now it leaves much to be desired.
Manufacturers jump on the bandwagon
Regardless of this situation, it is undeniable that Apple’s Dynamic Island has generated excitement and many Android users, who are completely unaware that it is available from Samsung, are eager to try it on their device. This is something that has been echoed among manufacturers and companies like Realme or Xiaomi have already asked their community if they would like to see something similar.
This does not guarantee anything at all, but it is interesting all the attraction that the launch of Apple has caused . It only remains to wait for the future launches of these brands to see if they decide to bet on a similar format or even if they end up adding it as Samsung through system options.
