Notably, the Android 13 One UI 5.0 update for Galaxy tablets did not bring the much anticipated two-column notifications panel and lock screen. The Galaxy Tab S8 running the Android 13 update still uses the single-column notification shade, similar to smartphones. It shows the time and date right at the top center of the notification panel, a row of seven quick toggles, followed by the brightness slider.
You get the Device Control and Media Output buttons right below the brightest slider. Finally, there is a feed of notifications with shortcuts along with notification settings and clear buttons at the bottom-right corner.
In contrast to this, as noted by 9To5Google, with Android 12L, Google has designed a two-column layout. Quick setting tiles sit on the left, with a brightness slider above them. You also get a row of buttons for editing, switching profiles, the Power menu, and opening Settings right below the QS tiles. You have a list of notifications at the right that you can access with just a single swipe.
Samsung continues to make use of the two-swipe gesture on the notification panel, although Android 12L introduced the two-column layout. Moreover, Samsung also misses out on the large media player, which sits on the right with the clock. As of now, the Samsung UI looks like a stretched phone UI.
