SamMobile • • technology
Key Points:
- Samsung has introduced a real-time network speed indicator in the status bar for Galaxy phones via the QuickStar module in its Good Lock customization app, fulfilling a long-standing request from users.
- The indicator displays live download and upload speeds in kilobytes or megabytes per second on both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections, helping users diagnose connection issues.
- Currently, this feature requires One UI 9 beta based on Android 17 and is only available on the Galaxy S26 series in select markets, with future availability on more devices expected as One UI 9 rolls out.
- To enable the indicator, users must install Good Lock and manually install the latest QuickStar module, as it is not yet fully available through the Galaxy Store during the beta phase.
- The speed indicator complements existing signal strength icons by focusing solely on speed, and it can be toggled on or off easily within the QuickStar settings.
