Isn't it funny how little things annoy you? My phone has just updated and now I have a little eggy shaped icon in the top right of my screen. Half of which is greyed out. The thing is it appears to be counting down. Very slowly, but it is. What on earth is it? And what happens when it does count down?
 
Don't know but from a Google search:

Just hold your finger on it for a couple seconds & it will show a white “X” to close it out
 
It's a new feature from the manufacturer , Your phone will self destruct which gives you a choice ( lucky you) By a new one or go without ! It just so happens this is also good for business !
 
It's the new update to the Samsung UI 7.0. something or other.

It is your charge level and not easy to read at all. Your notification panel will also have changed as will the side button functions. Sammy have also 're-introduced' all the things that you thought had been disabled too.

What have they done with the side buttons? I'm getting fed up with them altering my phone.

Short press you can still close your screen to put in your pocket but the long press that once gave you the shut down, restart option now gives you the never useful Gemini AI option.

Shut down, restart can now be found by swiping down diagonally from the top right and then tapping the close button between the edit and system buttons towards the top. It's so obvious I'm glad Samsung thought about how to make life easier for us.

I presume there's a way to change/disable some settings but I have a life to lead first.

That will be it. Perhaps it's an age thing, but it's quite a big change to its appearance and it throws me.
