How to add One UI 5.1 Battery widget on Galaxy phone’s lock screen
The new One UI 5.1 software is here for all flagship Samsung phones. I have caught a lot of new features in it and one of my favorite features is the Battery Widget. While One UI 5.1 has released the Battery Widget for the home screen, a trick can let you add it to the lock screen as well.
Before heading to the trick, what’s a Battery Widget? The Battery Widget is a useful feature widget that shows you information about the battery status of your phone and all other connected devices at a glance.

With this, you can easily check the battery of your Buds, smartwatches, and other Bluetooth devices effortlessly so you can charge them before they get discharged.
Moreover, the company offers this widget in two formats – one that appears in circles and the second one that appears in the list form. Circle one just shows the logo of the phone, buds, watch, etc alongside their battery. Whereas, the list also shows the name of the connected devices and their battery statuses.
Adding the Battery widget on your home screen is so easy. Just tap and hold the home screen, select the Widgets option, and choose the Battery. You can select which form of the Battery widget you want to see on your home screen. Well, I prefer the Circle one, it looks classy.
Here’s how to add One UI 5.1 Battery Widget on your Galaxy phone’s Lock screen:
It’s worth mentioning that Samsung officially does not allow you to add the Battery Widget on the lock screen. However, a trick will help you do this. First of all, you need to download an app named “Lock Screen Widgets” through this link.
Now install the app and complete the setup. Do note that it requires access from the Accessibility menu. Once done, open the app and enable the “Lock Screen Widgets” option which is disabled by default.
Now tap on the “Add Widgets” button, search for “Battery Widget” and apply it. Now go to the lock screen and tap the widget with two fingers to “adjust its size and position”.
After you place the widget in the desired position unlock your phone and go back to the “Locscreen widgets” app. Tap on settings, expand the “Visibility” drop-down, and enable these 4 settings –
- Hide when showing notifications
- Hide when notification shade shown
- Hide on security input
- Hide on FaceWidget

Lighting is one of the important factors in photography. With the new update, the company would like to introduce the Editors’ Tint Menu so that you can fine-tune the effect of these lights.
Samsung offers three different functions for adjusting the lighting, which look similar but are different. Those three functions are Light Balance, Definition, and Clearness. Let’s see these three functions of Samsung One UI 5.1 Photo Editor.
Improved Light Balance
Light Balance literally means the balance of light. This function adjusts the balance of brightness to the mid-tones in the image. This feature ensures visibility and balances brightness by making very dark areas slightly brighter and very bright areas slightly darker.
When we increase the (+) value, the light balance effect is adjusted to make the overall image brighter and more clear, while we increase the (-) value, the overall image becomes darker such as casting a shadow.
The Light Balance function is currently only available for photo editing and will be soon supported by Video Editor.
Sharpness Improvement
Sharpness is a feature that edits blurry photos to make them sharper. Although it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with light, it does involve the power of light.
Brighten the brightest point of the photo that bringing out the texture, which has the effect of sharpening the photo. The sharpness enhancement applies to photo editing and video editing alike.
New Clarity Feature
Clarity is a new feature of the latest One UI 5.1 update. Alike the Sharpness function, the Clarity function applies the effect of lighting rather than changing it. This function makes bright areas of an image slightly brighter and dark areas slightly darker to enhance the texture or three-dimensional effect of the image. In One UI 5.1, Clarity is only available for photo editing, but the company is planning to release this feature to the Video Editor.
