One of the best recent additions to Samsung\u2019s One UI software is the Now Bar and Now Brief widgets. However, it looks like a rival manufacturer could grab the former feature for its own phones.<\/p>\n

OnePlus Club reported on Twitter that OPPO and OnePlus are working on their own version of the Now Bar. This is referred to as a Lockscreen Island, although it\u2019s unclear whether this is the official name. Check out the images below.<\/p>\n

The images show a lock screen widget that appears at the bottom of your display, much like Now Bar. The pictures also show that this widget can display media playback info or call details.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re guessing that OnePlus and OPPO\u2019s widget can display even more info types. For what it\u2019s worth, Samsung\u2019s Now Bar shows sports scores, timers, Do Not Disturb status, health data, voice recorder functionality, and directions via Google Maps.<\/p>\n

In any event, this might not be the only notable lock screen feature coming to OnePlus and OPPO phones. OnePlus Club also reports that a new lock screen media player UI is in the works. View the image above for a good idea of what to expect.<\/p>\n
