I have already sent a direct message i am just writing here to reach a larger audience and hopefully get noticed

@Magical112 

Perhaps post your ideas in the following thread > https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/mobile-apps-services/the-suggestions-amp-ideas-thread-for-softwa... 

Who knows what Samsung will introduce if enough people call for it and its a viable option.  🤞

📱 Mobile & Tablet Ideas

1. "Focus Mode 2.0" – An AI-driven productivity mode that:

   • Auto-blocks distracting apps based on usage patterns.

   • Detects procrastination (e.g., too much scrolling) and nudges you back.

   • Integrates with calendars to adjust focus sessions dynamically.

2. Smart Notification Digest – AI that:

   • Bundles low-priority notifications (e.g., promos, social updates).

   • Suggests quick replies based on message tone (e.g., "👍 Got it!").

   • Learns which senders you always ignore and auto-snoozes them.

3. "Digital Detox" Rewards System – Gamified screen-time reduction:

   • Earn points for staying under daily limits, redeemable for real-world perks (discounts, app rewards).

   • Compete with friends in "lowest screen time" challenges.

4. Universal Clipboard+ – Cloud-synced clipboard that:

   • Works across all devices (including Windows/macOS via PWA).

   • Detects sensitive data (passwords, CC numbers) and auto-clears after use.

5. "Contextual Quick Settings" – Dynamic toggles in the control panel:

   • Auto-suggests "Workout Mode" at the gym (enables DND, fitness apps).

   • Shows "Smart Home" controls when at home.

⌚ Wearable Tech Ideas

1. "Stress Radar" – Uses HRV, skin temp, and movement to:

   • Predict stress spikes and suggest breathing exercises.

   • Logs triggers (e.g., meetings, locations) over time.

2. Gesture Shortcuts – Custom wrist motions for:

   • Silent alarms (e.g., shake to dismiss).

   • Quick actions (e.g., twist wrist to toggle flashlight).

3. "Voice Memo Transcribe" – On-device AI that:

   • Converts voice notes to text with speaker identification.

   • Auto-tags memos by topic ("Work", "Shopping List").

4. Battery Swap Locator – For watches with removable batteries:

   • Maps nearby stores/kiosks with compatible batteries.

🔄 Cross-Device Features

1. "App Handoff 2.0" – Seamlessly transfer tasks between devices:

   • Start an email on your watch (voice draft), edit on phone, finalize on tablet.

   • Uses ultra-low-energy Bluetooth for instant detection.

2. "Find My Everything" – Crowdsourced lost-item tracking:

   • Tap into a mesh network of nearby devices to locate lost keys/wallet (even offline).

3. Privacy Dashboard+ – Real-time monitoring of:

   • Which apps accessed mic/camera (with screenshot proof).

   • Alerts if background apps use sensors unnecessarily.

---

🎮 Bonus: Fun/Experimental Concepts

1. AR "Time Machine" – Point your camera to see:

   • Historical street views (via public archives).

   • Virtual "what if" scenarios (e.g., "How would this park look with more trees?").

2. Mood-Based Playlists – Wearable detects mood (via biometrics) and:

   • Auto-generates Spotify/Apple Music playlists.

   • Suggests calming podcasts if stressed.

3. "AI Sidekick" – A persistent, voice-aware assistant that:

   • Learns your habits and preemptively helps (e.g., "Traffic ahead, leave 5 mins early?").

   • Works offline for basic queries.

Really good ideas and you've communicated them well!

Idea: S Pen could feature a a built-in Camera and could be housed at the top of phone, not bottom. S Pen with built-in camera at top of phone could remove the need punch hole selfie camera. 

Hello Samsung community, I've recently thought of this cool idea of having a camera built into the S Pen and having the S Pen  located at the top of the phone.

I was recently watching this YouTube video about the sad current state of Under Display Camera (UDC) in Samsung and how it's evolving very slowly. 

https://youtu.be/mm_JkGm9g2k?si=DiuX4GGZ2nhAsUcb

Also let's not forget back in 2019, Samsung introduced to the world the Galaxy A80 which had something close to the idea I'm suggesting here:

https://youtube.com/shorts/sS1YaPUC3gk?si=POQjnllIJUrY3KZm

An S Pen with a built-in Bluetooth camera with the pen auto-ejecting at the top would be awesome and could spell the end of having to rely on a punch hole camera design. 

[Chookz]

So in continuation of this idea I would love to see a future Samsung Galaxy S Ultra device that would draw heavy inspiration for the Galaxy A80 (no punch hole selfie camera) and would also bring back Bluetooth functionality into the S Pen so that the S Pen has a built in pop-up camera for selfies. 

This same top positioned S Pen camera could also feature it's own micro sd card up to  1 TB

If Samsung brought out a special Galaxy Ultra device with no punch hole selfie camera but instead the selfie camera in the S Pen then this would amazingly give allowance for a universal One UI feature of "Hide statue bar" aka forced Immersive Mode for all apps. 😍😎😍

Make the option to remove the clock in the lockscreen. I want my own design clock in there.

Dear Samsung,

I know you offer a billion user customisations via Goodlock and Thank You! But...
Could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE create a Goodlock module to address the overall volume control?
I don't know if this has ever been discussed or raised before, but here it is.

In this day and age, to change or see your volume / notification sound, you have to press the volume button, expand the sound pop up before it disappears, and then search for and slide the volume of which ever setting you need to change. And it doesn't tell you what level you're at!
It's beyond me how cumbersome this is for ALL android.
From more or less the beginning of Android phone, I have used apps such as Slider Widget, and now Volume Control by C Mobile.
WHY?
Because I have one widget on the screen which tells me at a glance what volume each settings are at and I can change them in a split sec, knowing exactly how low or loud I'm at (4, 5, etc...).
I can also toggle the ringer on or off using the button on the side.
Further, I'm also having to use another app to create widget profile to switch between Low / Normal / High (as widget on the screen).

We need a native Samsung Goodlock app that does just that. It needs to be like the original Slicer Widget in that you could assign a colour to each setting, making it even easier to recognise / adjust.
You need the ability to add / remove any sound setting (for example I don't need the system volume or voice call volume on there).
It needs to have the ability to toggle the Do Not Disturb.

Anyway, if I'm missing something or there is an awesome app out there, please let me know.
If you agree with this / please like / comment to promote.
Samsung, if you do read this, please make it happen! And feel free to get in touch to discuss and develop this!

Thanks.
