Samsung’s Now Bar is NOT a good copy of Dynamic Island

Either Apple pattented the berhavior, or Samsung's team didn't understand the UX advantage of having a floating bar at the top of the screen.

The real value of the Dynamic Island versus sliding Notifications, are the gestures (touch opens the app, hold-touch opens the details, and sliding shows the next app when you have multiple).

But Samsung’s only allows touching and you need to touch the notification a second time to open the app, which is a waste of time and horrible UX.

Besides, many apps don't use it (which is not Samsung's fault, but I wish the Android ecosystem was more consistent)
