Although Edge displays are gone, the feature still exists in One UI on modern Galaxy phones with flat screens.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHow to turn on Edge Lighting on your Galaxy phone\n<\/p>\n<p>Edge Lighting is disabled by default in One UI. So if you&#8217;ve seen the effect on other Galaxy phones and wondered why it&#8217;s missing on yours, it&#8217;s because you haven&#8217;t enabled it. To turn it on:\n<\/p>\n<p>You can choose different Edge Lighting effects and colors, and under the <strong>Advanced<\/strong> tab, you can adjust transparency, width, and duration.\n<\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/One-UI-Edge-Lithging-1-1-scaled.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1632\" alt=\"one ui edge lighting\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"image-credit\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">Mihai Matei \/ SamMobile\n                                            <\/p>\n<p class=\"image-caption\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">One UI Edge Lighting \u2013 Source: Mihai Matei \/ SamMobile\n                                                                                <\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/One-UI-Edge-Lithging-1-2-scaled.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1702\" alt=\"one ui edge lighting\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"image-credit\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">Mihai Matei \/ SamMobile\n                                            <\/p>\n<p class=\"image-caption\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">One UI Edge Lighting \u2013 Source: Mihai Matei \/ SamMobile\n                                                                                <\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/One-UI-Edge-Lithging-1-3-scaled.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1702\" alt=\"one ui edge lighting\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"image-credit\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">Mihai Matei \/ SamMobile\n                                            <\/p>\n<p class=\"image-caption\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">One uI Edge Lighting \u2013 Source: Mihai Matei \/ SamMobile\n                                                                                <\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/One-UI-Edge-Lithging-1-4-scaled.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1702\" alt=\"one ui edge lighting\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"image-credit\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">Mihai Matei \/ SamMobile\n                                            <\/p>\n<p class=\"image-caption\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">One uI Edge Lighting \u2013 Source: Mihai Matei \/ SamMobile\n                                                                                <\/p>\n<p>Originally, these effects were designed for Edge screens. Their curved sides allowed the light to wrap around the phone&#8217;s edges and glow visibly even when the device was face down. It made the feature genuinely useful. Then again, many users avoid placing phones face down anyway to prevent scratches.\n<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, with Edge displays gone, Edge Lighting is mostly an aesthetic feature in One UI, but it still adds a bit of personality to Galaxy phones. Make sure to try it out if you&#8217;re looking for more customization options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several recent leaks suggest that Google&#8217;s upcoming hardware, including new Pixel phones and laptops, could introduce a lighting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":973243,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3159],"tags":[547,25701,53,16,15],"class_list":["post-973242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-one-ui","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116606897204832840","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/973242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=973242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/973242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/973243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=973242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=973242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=973242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
