This dedicated screen displays calendar info, suggested videos, and a few other recommendations. We recently detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/how-to-sideload-daily-hub-pixel-10-3590907\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to sideload Daily Hub on your Pixel 10<\/a> if it isn\u2019t showing up yet, but this method works for non-Pixel phones too.<\/p>\n<p>You can sideload Daily Hub on Android phones from other brands too (h\/t: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/N0ki4N\/status\/1960759662984487377\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">N0ki4n<\/a> on Twitter). I managed to sideload the app on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/vivo-x-fold-5-hands-on-3576741\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vivo X Fold 5<\/a> review unit. Check out our images below.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_4g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Daily Hub on Galaxy S23 Ultra screenshot\"  alt=\"Daily Hub on Galaxy S23 Ultra screenshot\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Daily-Hub-on-Galaxy-S23-Ultra-screenshot.jpg\"\/>Galaxy S23 Ultra<img class=\"e_4g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Daily Hub on vivo X Fold 5 cover screen\"  alt=\"Daily Hub on vivo X Fold 5 cover screen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Daily-Hub-on-vivo-X-Fold-5-cover-screen-scaled.jpg\"\/>vivo X Fold 5 cover screen<img class=\"e_4g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Daily Hub on vivo X Fold 5 folding screen\"  alt=\"Daily Hub on vivo X Fold 5 folding screen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Daily-Hub-on-vivo-X-Fold-5-folding-screen.jpg\"\/>vivo X Fold 5 main screen<\/p>\n<p>Daily Hub launches just fine on these phones, but you do see a brief pop-up noting that you need to install Pixel Studio for a better experience. Otherwise, I\u2019m seeing calendar entries (and an associated AI summary above them), YouTube video recommendations, and suggested topics to research via Gemini or YouTube. Google previously stated that Daily Hub also relies on the Pixel 10\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/what-is-google-pixel-10-magic-cue-2-3588712\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Magic Cue<\/a> feature for some suggestions, but non-Pixel devices obviously lack Magic Cue.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m glad to see that the feature looks just fine on the vivo X Fold 5\u2019s folding screen. That\u2019s not a surprise as Google is bringing the feature to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-pixel-10-pro-fold-vs-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-opinion-3588254\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixel 10 Pro Fold<\/a>, but it\u2019s still good to know if you\u2019ve got a Galaxy Z Fold device or another book-style foldable.<\/p>\n<p>Want to get Daily Hub on your own non-Pixel phone? As colleague Rita El-Khoury notes in her guide, you\u2019ll need to use an app that can install split APKs (e.g., APKMirror Installer or SAI: Split APK Installer). You also need to use an app like Activity Launcher or Shortcut Maker to create a home screen shortcut to Daily Hub\u2019s <strong>HomeActivity<\/strong> activity. While you\u2019re at it, you can create a shortcut to the <strong>SettingsGatewayActivity<\/strong> activity to access Daily Hub settings.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that Daily Hub is supposed to be accessible via the Google Discover feed on Pixel 10 phones. This isn\u2019t the case on my Samsung or vivo phones, and I\u2019m not holding my breath for this to change any time soon. Nevertheless, Samsung\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-now-brief-one-ui-8-fold-7-flip-7-3574996\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Now Brief<\/a> still seems more versatile and useful than Google\u2019s effort right now. So you aren\u2019t missing out on much if you have a recent Galaxy phone. Then again, Now Brief isn\u2019t officially available on the Galaxy S23 series yet, so Daily Hub might be a neat stopgap.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
