Find tips and how-to guides for your Samsung products
If there’s one thing we all want in a heatwave (besides unlimited iced coffee and a personal fan), it’s to check our phones quickly without breaking a sweat. That’s where Brief widgets come in – your Galaxy S25’s lock screen shortcut to staying cool, calm, and in control.
Whether you’re sunbathing in the park, catching rays on your lunch break, or just can’t be bothered to unlock your phone in 30-degree heat – Brief widgets let you view key info and jump into apps faster than you can say “where’s the SPF?” 😎
📱What Are Brief Widgets, Anyway?
Brief widgets let you customise how information shows up when your phone is locked, so everything you need is right there with just a glance – no thumb acrobatics required.
Think: weather, calendar, health stats – all right on your lock screen. Perfect for those moments when you’re lounging in the sun and just can’t be bothered to unlock your phone.
