Samsung’s Galaxy S-series is in its software era. Maybe the whole smartphone industry is, too, save for a few phones with hinges (Samsung’s included). But overall, we have exited the hardware-driven innovation cycle and are firmly in the midst of a software-based one.

If you swipe down on the Control Panel side of your display, you’ll see a pencil icon. Once in that menu, you’ll see Panel settings in the top left, where you can combine notifications and quick settings again. If you really need extra quick toggles displayed at once, perhaps it's worth leaving the One UI 7 change as-is, but I like reverting.

We've spent the week testing the Samsung Galaxy S25, and while the flagship Android hasn't changed much, it's still very impressive.
