Samsung simplifies Cover Screen Calls with New Volume Control
Samsung is rolling out a clever solution for a common frustration: accidentally loud calls when using teh cover screen on your foldable phone. I’ve found that managing call volume on a smaller display can be tricky, especially when you’re in a quiet setting. Now, with the upcoming One UI 8.5 update, taking calls on your device’s cover screen just got a whole lot easier.
here’s how it effectively works:
* When you receive a call on the cover screen, a dedicated Low Volume button will appear on the call interface.
* Simply tap this button to instantly reduce the call volume to its lowest setting.
* Tap it again to restore your previously preferred volume level.
This isn’t a new audio profile, but rather a convenient shortcut. It eliminates the need to fumble with the physical volume buttons when a call is unexpectedly loud. You’ll appreciate this especially in quiet environments like meetings or libraries.
I’ve tested this feature on a pre-release version of One UI 8.5 on a Galaxy Z Flip 7, and it works seamlessly. The phone intelligently remembers your low-volume preference, so you won’t have to repeatedly tap the button with each incoming call on the cover display.
Currently, this feature is confirmed for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Tho,there’s no technical reason why Samsung wouldn’t extend it to older Flip models. We’ll keep you updated as more facts becomes available.
The One UI 8.5 beta program for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is anticipated to launch in the coming weeks, though samsung hasn’t officially announced a date yet. Stay tuned for further updates, and we’ll let you know as soon as the beta is available.
This small but significant addition demonstrates Samsung’s commitment to refining the user experience on its innovative foldable devices. It’s a thoughtful touch that addresses a real-world usability issue, making your calls more comfortable and discreet.
