Summary
Galaxy S26 phones on the One UI 9 beta can now show a live network speed indicator in the status bar through Samsung’s updated QuickStar Good Lock module.
The indicator tracks both mobile and Wi-Fi performance, showing real-time download and upload speeds and auto-scaling between Kbps, Mbps and Gbps.
QuickStar also adds a toggle for the Ongoing Chip, which controls status indicators for calls, voice recording, timers and similar activities.
Samsung plans to ship the stable One UI 9 release for Galaxy S26 later this summer, with older Galaxy models getting the feature as the rollout expands.
The addition closes a gap with Android rivals such as Motorola, OnePlus and Nothing, which already offer built-in network speed indicators.
