However, there\u2019s one that the company surprisingly hasn\u2019t ever offered on its phones, while most other Android phones have it out of the box: network speed in the status bar. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-one-ui-9-skipping-favorite-android-17-feature-3672720\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">One UI 9<\/a>, the company is adding that to its phones as well.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Rm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768233971_656_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768233972_401_google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Samsung has updated the <a href=\"https:\/\/galaxystore.samsung.com\/detail\/com.samsung.android.qstuner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">QuickStar<\/a> Good Lock module in One UI 9, and it adds a new option to enable the network speed indicator. Once enabled, your phone will display your internet speed right in the status bar, which can be very useful. The change was originally spotted by the folks over at <a href=\"https:\/\/sammyguru.com\/one-ui-9-finally-brings-network-speed-meter-to-galaxy-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">SammyGuru<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We have also checked on our end, and we can confirm that the feature is available with QuickStar in One UI 9. There\u2019s also a new \u201cOngoing Chip\u201d option in the module that wasn\u2019t available in previous versions. Take a look at the screenshots below:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"one ui 8 quickstar screenshot image new\"  alt=\"one ui 8 quickstar screenshot image new\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/one-ui-8-quickstar-screenshot-image-new.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"one ui 9 quickstar network speed indicator ongoing chip options image new\"  alt=\"one ui 9 quickstar network speed indicator ongoing chip options image new\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/one-ui-9-quickstar-network-speed-indicator-ongoing-chip-options-image-new.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This toggle controls the Now Bar, which shows live activities for things like timers, incoming and ongoing calls, voice recordings, and more. Disabling it turns off these features.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
