  Samsung is similar [1], but does not list anything similar to "display
over other apps".

  It does list "Appear on top", but many, many apps have that Special
accesss. For example Camera, Clock, Facebook, Find My Mobile, Google,
Messages, My Files, Phone and many, many more (only listed some ones
which most phones will have and most users will use/be_aware_of).

  So I don't think Samsung's "Appear on top" is the same a Pixel's
"display over other apps" (or VanguardLH's "draw over other apps").

[1] Settings -> Apps -> <three_vertical_dots> icon in upper-right ->
Special access
