From the first moment Apple showed off its new Dynamic Island concept during the presentation of the new iPhone 14, all of us who had been in the business for a while knew it was going to be copied to the core.

For now, no Android manufacturer has dared to integrate the same idea into their phones, which makes sense. After all, it’s a solution to a problem that only Apple has, which is to take up more screen space for the sensors and cameras used by FaceID, its facial identification system. Apple has turned this inconvenience into something useful, widening or shrinking the software hole to integrate app notifications.
Dynamic Island in Samsung
While waiting to see if a manufacturer will have the courage (or the audacity) to imitate the Dynamic Island, the fans have already taken the lead. It only took a day for a version of Dynamic Island to appear for Xiaomi mobiles, based on a theme that adapted notifications to the position of the front camera.

Now a new viral video shows it’s possible to do the same thing on Samsungs, which isn’t a surprise but it shows there’s some demand for this stuff. The video shows a version of the “island” running on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, the foldable mobile; notifications cover the hole in the screen to show information such as whether the headphones have been connected to the mobile or that the mobile is charging.
The big problem is that since it’s notification-based, the island disappears as soon as they are closed; it is therefore not the same as on the iPhone, where the island remains joining the two holes in the screen for the front camera and the sensors. This indicates that this version is nothing more than a new theme, which changes the style and position of the notifications and does not modify any section of the operating system; the video creator has not shared how he did it.
This unofficial dynamic island for Samsung is inspired by the iPhone 14 Pro
We have no doubt that applications will be released soon that will copy the island more faithfully, and in fact, if we do a search on the Internet, it is easy to find pages and videos that encourage us to download apks and install apps. application that promises us the function. Under no circumstances should we install these applications, from untrustworthy sites, because it is a very easy way for our mobile to get infected with a virus.
