How to Make a Samsung Lock Screen Mockup
Build a Galaxy lock screen over your own wallpaper: the stacked One UI clock, notifications as app icons or expanded cards, and the phone-and-camera shortcut pair, exported at real Galaxy resolutions.

To make a Samsung lock screen mockup, open the Samsung Lock Screen Generator, add a wallpaper, choose the clock style, and set the notifications — then export at a real Galaxy resolution. The lock screen is where One UI and iOS diverge most, so this is the mockup where using the right platform's layout matters more than anywhere else.
Start with the wallpaper
Drop in your own photo or pick one of the built-in gradients. The Samsung Lock Screen Generator renders everything else over it — clock, notifications, shortcuts, and the status bar with Samsung's four-bar signal.
Choose the clock face
One UI offers several lock clock styles, and the tool renders the two people recognize: the stacked face, hour over minutes on two big rows, and the single-line face. The stacked one has no iOS equivalent at all, which makes it the strongest visual signal that this is a Galaxy. The date sits under the clock — iOS puts it above, and swapping that is one of the tells that give away a repainted iPhone mockup.
Set the notifications the One UI way
Samsung collapses lock-screen notifications into a row of small app icons by default, expanding them into cards only when tapped. The tool renders both states — use the icon row for a typical Galaxy look, or expanded cards when the mockup is about the notifications themselves. Why the icons-only state exists, and how owners toggle it, is covered in its own article.
The details that finish it
The bottom shortcuts are Phone on the left and Camera on the right — Samsung's pair, where iOS puts a flashlight. The clock defaults to 12:45, the time Samsung's own marketing uses. Set the battery, signal, and punch-hole to taste, then export at 1080×2340, 1440×3120, or the Z Flip's 1080×2640.
Need the iPhone version?
Same idea, different platform: how to make an iPhone lock screen mockup walks through the iOS layout with its frosted notification cards and flashlight-and-camera pair.
