This extends to apps like Spotify, YouTube, and YouTube Music when playing content locally or casting and to apps like Netflix when casting. The One UI 7 hype is real, as Samsung finally gets around to updating its devices to Android 15, months after the platform update was released and others got on board. As people get their hands on the update, they are spotting features that haven’t been clearly mentioned as part of the official changelog. As it turns out, One UI 7 is implementing a live notification for any app that puts media controls in the notification shade. My colleague Zac Kew-Denniss spotted that newer One UI 7 builds (i.e., those with the April 2025 security patch) can display a live notification for any app that puts out an ongoing media playback control in the notification shade.

This lens attaches to the 200MP periscope camera and enables 8.7x optical zoom and “highly usable” 35x zoom. This news comes after companies like realme and Xiaomi showcased concept phones with add-on lenses. We’ve seen concept phones with external camera lenses from several brands over the years, with realme most recently showing off this tech at MWC 2025. Now, vivo has revealed that it’s bringing this concept to reality with the upcoming X200 Ultra. Vivo executive Han Boxiao announced that the upcoming X200 Ultra smartphone will offer an add-on ZEISS camera lens. This add-on lens, which seemingly requires the company’s newly announced camera grip, uses the phone’s 200MP 3.7x periscope camera and enables a 200mm or 8.7x focal length at an f/2.3 aperture.
