Samsung also remembered those who bought his new Samsung Galaxy S5, but they have no idea what all the great features this smartphone has to offer. On the Samsungtomorrow.com server, a list of ten conveniences that can make use more pleasant appeared Galaxy S5, and some of them are really top notch.
Their list along with short descriptions can be found here:
- Writing with a pencil
And it doesn't have to be a special pencil from Samsung in the form of an S Pen, just an ordinary pencil and check the item "Increase touch sensitivity" in the Settings, and it will be possible to control the smartphone even with gloves, or just with a pencil!
- Improved playlist selection
While listening to music, after turning the phone to a horizontal position, a special playlist is displayed, which is composed of works similar to the one the user is listening to, while the similarity is determined according to the various information available for the song currently being listened to (genre, artist...)
- Bookmark for favorite applications
After downloading the top bar, it is possible to turn on the icon with three dots (toolbox) in the quick menu, which, after activation, is built into the display and when clicked, the user's favorite applications are displayed.
- Privacy mode
Samsung Galaxy The S5 has a built-in so-called privacy mode, which will prevent nosy roommates, friends, and eventually your significant other from viewing text messages, voicemails, videos, pictures, and other personal documents that are not intended for the eyes and ears of others. Privacy mode can be activated in the settings, where the user chooses which items he wants to hide and they will no longer be displayed in normal mode.
- Child mode
One of the conveniences introduced in February/February at Unpacked 5 was the child mode, which, after activation, will put the smartphone in a state where the child will only have access to the functions and applications that have been allowed.
- Opening the camera when the screen is locked
A feature that is currently available on the vast majority of smartphones, yet is very often neglected. To open the camera when the screen is locked, just place your finger on the camera app icon in the lower right corner and drag your finger away from it. This unlocks the camera and the user is authorized to take photos.
- New camera modes
Galaxy The S5 has several new shooting modes. One of them is the virtual tour mode (Virtual tour), during which it is possible to take photos, as when a tour of the surroundings is organized. Another new mode is "Shot and more", in which it is possible to immediately edit the resulting image after taking a photo and add various special effects to it.
- Select the most frequent message recipients
If the user is tired of scrolling through a long list of contacts every time he sends a message, he can choose the most frequent recipient of the messages, which he will see during the selection of the recipient in the upper part of the window. Up to 25 people can be selected in the function.
- Display information about the caller during the call
In the settings, specifically in the "call" item, you can check the option to display information about the caller during the call. When checked, recent conversations with the caller and their activity on social networks will be shown on the display during the call.
- Answer a call while using other applications
After checking this option in the "calling" item in the settings, it is possible to receive a call and make a call, both while using another application. In the event that someone calls the phone, a window will appear with the option to accept the call, reject the call, and between them, the option to accept the call and use other smartphone functions.
