Without the new Android 13 features, the notification bar is still a single-column layout after the upgrade of Samsung tablet.

CTOnews.com, Nov. 29, Google focused on optimizing the tablet experience in Android 13, introducing a two-column layout format in the notification bar. However, while more and more Samsung tablets are upgrading to Android 13 / OneUI 5.0, these tablets do not get a two-column layout format after the upgrade, according to technology media 9to5Google.

CTOnews.com learned that, for example, the 11-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 still uses a single-column layout format to display notifications, time / date and status bar icons, seven quick setup (Quick Settings) switches, brightness sliders, device controls, and media output buttons after upgrading Android 13 / OneUI 5.0.

Starting with Android 12L, Google introduced a two-column layout for the notification bar of large-screen devices such as tablets to make the most of the space. The lock screen also uses a larger two-column layout to highlight notifications and clocks, and optimizes system applications such as "settings".
