One UI 4.1 Smart widgets: What is and how to use

Perhaps you think your GALAXY phone is perfect. However, the new version One UI will add to your device an interesting feature that you should not ignore.

What is smart widgets

Smart widgets have become the exclusive Samsung ONE UI 4.1 function. In fact, it is a stack of widgets that can be scrolled by getting all the necessary information without leaving not only one table, but even one tile.

How to add and use

To add a smart widget, long-press on an empty part of your home screen, select "Widgets" and "Smart Widgets". There are three versions of the stack: 2x2, 4x1 and 4x2. Choose the desired option and take it on the desktop.
It is possible to configure each tile separately, delete the information you are not interested in and add the desired one. To do this, hold your finger on the widget until the context menu appears and select the "Add widget".
You can add up to seven tiles in one stack, their size must match the selected smart widget size or be less than it, but not more.
To remove a smart widget, again call the context menu and click on the icon with the basket. If you need to delete a separate item, select the "Remove from a smart widget" in the same menu.
Note, depending on the selected smart widget size, the set of information on it may differ. For example, a reminder of the upcoming events and a low battery charge for connected wireless devices (headphones, hours and speakers) are unique for size 4x1. These alerts appear and disappear automatically if they need to. If you do not need this information, you can disable them in the settings.

So, the South Korean manufacturer gives us a simple way to systematize all the necessary information, without using a lot of work screens on the phone. What do you think about this?
