Finance, news, sports, a briefing panel, and even a pedometer panel. It will also display favorite apps, contacts, and more specially designed apps will be created and available for download via Samsung’s app store.

The Glance Lighting feature will allow for the edges to light up whenever there’s an incoming call.
