The latter, based on Android version 5.0 Lollipop , a revised version integrates customized TouchWiz interface that promises a smooth operation and no slowdowns. Remained the same as always complain about the users and that are due to the thousands of features software developed and integrated by technicians Samsung to improve and make more practical experience of use.

That’s why in the article today we reported the 15 software features available on a quanlunque Samsung Android with TouchWiz that that make the user experience better, day after day. However, how could someone point out, it is also true that some of these features are easily inheritable other devices through specific applications or even present by default on other interfaces.

1. Multi Windows . The ability to run two or more applications that can be displayed, and therefore used, at the same time is a function particularly appreciated by the users and that other manufacturers offer. However, the developers of the Korean giant are those that have achieved better implementation allowing the end user to split the screen between two applications up to a maximum of five for an experienced m ultitasking unmatched .

2. “With one hand” . The function, pretty self-explanatory, and especially useful on those devices with the screen diagonal from generous, can be activated by voice and display wallpaper in the menu settings of modern devices TouchWiz, that inside them integrate options operation with one hand and reduce the screen size. Selecting the latter, just quickly drag your thumb off the edge of the screen to the center and vice versa to see in a moment resize the entire screen.

3. Call minimazzabili . The smartphone has become crucial for people because real container of information. The same that in the course of a call may serve or be requested directly from our partner, which is why there is often a search in the smartphone during a call. In a similar situation, on an Android device without customizations pressing the “home” is hiding the call window, called up from the notification bar.

On devices with Samsung TouchWiz interface , the same action will minimize the call on the screen that actually will always remain on the screen and that, to search over, can be resumed in a moment with a tap on the little picture with the photo of our party .

4. Order applications . The applications menu of Android without any customizations, stock therefore, will show on-screen applications in alphabetical order. Even the TouchWiz does it by default because you can choose a custom order that can take account of the creation of folders or applications you have downloaded.

5. Hide applications . Often the need to hide some applications, for privacy reasons or because of a software system that is used very rarely. One problem on modern Samsung with Android can be solved in a simple way: by clicking on the three vertical dots arranged in the upper right corner when you access the application drawer and hide app selecting from the drop down . Of course it should be noted that activate the new display is a simple step and, therefore, anyone who is determined to see what’s in the smartphone can do it relatively quickly.

6. Instant access to fast connections . In versions of stock Android, you must click on the notification bar and then tap a second time to gain access to the connections / settings quick phone or, alternatively, you can scroll down with two fingers instead of one . A gesture often uncomfortable to use. Under TouchWiz can simply pull the panel with a Swype other down.

7. Quick Setting . The same quick links which we have just spoken can be customized easily directly from the panel that contains them, always choosing the three vertical dots arranged in the upper right.

8. closing all apps. Recent . TouchWiz allows us to get rid of all the cards, with the push of a button, while the vanilla Android will we do the old-fashioned way – crawled out, one by one.

9. History calculator . Samsung introduced its calculator on an extremely simple but that is crucial at a time when you realize that you forgot to write a number of its calculation: the chronology. A story that jumps back between all operations, even if the application is closed, to correct any errors or revise the last answer.

10. File Manager . Believe it or not, the application for viewing and managing files on Android flaw of many features. Fortunately, on the Play Store are many alternatives available, some even free, but who owns a modern Samsung with custom interface will also help it. The TouchWiz, in fact, integrates a default file manager from the painstaking graphics and user friendly interface that allows all possible operations with files. Always so quick and easy.

11. Volume Control . The operating system of Google allows the volume control for the ringer, respectively, the media playback and alarms. An interesting feature, which allows for example to maintain a high volume of the ringer and low or zero to all the others. Again Samsung wanted to give his interpretation also adding volume control for system sounds. Access to all four, is very simple because just press the small gear on the screen that appears every time you use the volume rocker.

12. Energy saving . The major smartphone manufacturers have introduced in their models can centillinare battery consumption by activating specific energy-saving mode. Samsung has further extended this concept by providing its devices latest two power saving modes: the first strangling the operation of the System On Chip, darkens the screen and disables mobile connections and the second, Ultra Power Saving Mode, which limits completely operation of the device the ability to call and send messages with the screen in black and white.

The all in one click from the specific settings in this menu.

13. Power button . Holding down the power button on the new version of Android, Lollipop, you can only turn off the phone. The same action under TouchWiz interface will return to the screen a small menu that allows you to turn on airplane mode toggle quickly, the emergency mode, reboot the device or, of course, to turn it off.

14. Swype call / message . For those who always goes the slice is good to know that the TouchWiz allows you to call a contact by simply swiping to the right his name in the phone book or call log. Swype with one to the left, instead, you can send a text message.

15. Select text [S-Pen] . Text selection on Android is still not optimized. You can tell by using other operating systems, such as iOS, where even there is not the best but still a bit ‘better. To activate it, on Android, just tap and hold a word which, when selected, will be between two pointers that can be expanded toward one direction or both to extend the selection area. This procedure, with the recent update to Lollipop, is even worse because the two markers were made even smaller.

Even under TouchWiz user interface is the same unless you possess a device with S Pen as the new Galaxy Note 4. On the latter operation is much simpler: just press and hold the stylus to select the text that can then be dragged from one window ‘ other.
