Welcome
0:02
From me as a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. And today I'll show a couple tweaks and tricks that you can do on this device
0:13
Now we're going to start off with probably my favorite one, which is the higher refresh rate of the display, the 120
0:20
And you can find it under the settings and display. If we scroll down, we'll have the motion smoothness right here
0:29
Now right here we have a fairly nice visual representation of how it will change it
0:35
So if you look closely, the 60 Hz looks kind of choppy where it kind of like jumps between
0:42
frames so it just doesn't look as smooth as the 120. Other words, if you're still curious on how this works, is basically if you're not sure
0:51
imagine this as a super fast slideshow and the 60 Hertz slideshow shows you 16 different images
0:58
in a single second, well, 120 will show you 120. And for instance, if you have two images
1:07
so one is, for instance, my left hand, and one is my right hand in, my left hand in a shot, right
1:12
So in 60, for instance, it captures separately my right and left
1:17
as, you know, frame right here and frame right here. And with the 120, it will also capture the in-between
1:23
So it will capture both of my, for instance, half of my hands. just as a kind of a crude way of explaining this
1:30
so let's change it to adaptive and this will change it to the 120
1:35
once you top on apply and there we go we're now 120
1:40
now I will mention this right now this will use a little bit more of your battery
1:45
so if battery preservation is what you're looking for this option probably is not for you but if you're looking for the absolute
1:53
smoothness then go right ahead And I'll also mention that this 120 only works on the inside screen
2:01
The screen right here does not support the 60. Or not 60, but 120
2:11
So this is still in 60. Now to you on the video, it will all look the same
2:15
That's because the video is being recorded at 60. And anything above that is just kind of being lost
2:23
So that's why on the video it looks like nothing has changed. but if you have the phone and you enable it you will see the difference between specifically between the two displays the cover one and the inside one
2:34
so moving on to the next one it's just going to be the gesture navigations and again can be found under the display
2:41
under the where is it navigation bar right over here and have swipe gestures so you can top on it and it will automatically enable it and as you can see
2:51
you can swipe up to go home, swipe up and hold to go to recent and swipe from the
2:57
sides to go back. Now when I'm swiping back you can see there is an arrow
3:03
appearing so that is the indication of me going back and this arrow or the back
3:08
gesture can be used from both sides of the display. Now also we close it this
3:15
also extends to the cover display as well as you can see the arrow appearing
3:21
so really nice i really personally enjoy gesture navigations and really like to share them with
3:30
everybody now contrary to what i literally just said i will disable them but that is only because
3:36
swiping up gesture when the phone is on the tray is not the greatest experience so that's why i'm
3:43
going to at the moment disable it so let's go back and yeah
3:51
So moving on to the next one, it's going to be, again, I believe in the display continuous apps
4:01
So I've been using that right now for a couple moments. As you see, when I close the device, it continues, specifically the settings which I kept on
4:14
You can see that right now turn it on or showcase it
4:18
So as you can see right now we have settings. I'm not going to be pressing anything
4:22
As you can see right now, close it and it flips to front or the cover display, however you want to call it
4:29
So this is the continuous app and you can find it under, again, the display
4:35
Major of the cool stuff are under display. So let's go into here and then lower continuous apps or continue app on cover this, cover
4:48
screen and in here you will have all the apps that you have installed right now on the
4:53
device so you want to do is select once that you want to basically continue on the
4:57
cover when you close the device now I would strongly discourage you from
5:02
probably enable on every app because if you use this device for probably already
5:07
a couple days or so you might be already used to for instance slapping it close and thinking that the device is locked but with a continuum continue with the apps when you close it it just going to keep it still unlocked And I mean you can clearly see when I just slap it close
5:23
It will continue where I left off in the app. So that's why I suggest or advise you not to enable every app
5:31
because it might be a little bit weird, or you will have to get used to always lacking your device physically with the button
5:38
So moving on, to the next option it's going to be the simple edge screen so this is something
5:45
that you can see probably always on your device there's this little thing that
5:50
is sticking out from the side and you can pull that out and by default there is
5:54
not much into it it's kind of overwhelming and you can edit it if you want to
5:59
to add more apps into the panel right here by simply just tapping on them
6:04
like so and then we can go back to color today I can also tap on the grid right
6:10
here and this will open up the entire app tray, basically every app that is on your phone
6:16
But what it allows you to do at the end of it is if you grab an app, you can drag it over
6:22
So as you can see right now, it's open up in the pop-up view
6:28
And I can, I believe, also grab it if I actually can. Let's see
6:33
Let me quickly close it. If I actually know how, there we go
6:39
So once we go back, we can also do something like this, so tap on it
6:45
It will open up and up in full screen, kind of like you would normally open up
6:49
but from there you can also grab another one and drag it over, as you can see
6:53
And whatever I let it go, it changes. So if I drop it on the half of the display, it will open it up in split screen view, like so
7:00
Or if you drop it in the middle, it will open it up as a pop-up view
7:05
Now, as you can also see, this is... not very limited. So, as you can see right now, we have five different
7:16
apps open. Now, this is a little bit excessive, honestly, and probably not too feasible
7:22
for an actual use, but obviously you can take it to extremes if you want to
7:28
or keep it in a reasonable state, but a phone allows you to
7:33
basically do whatever you want or open however many apps you want. And as you can see, I can
7:39
continue to open up more. Now it is getting a little bit crowded right now so
7:44
just close this and as you also see the apps that are open up in pop-up view
7:49
will close into this uphead right here. When you top on it it shows up all the
7:54
apps that are for open and you can select one and we'll open it up in this and pop-up
8:00
view which you can resize and move around. Now YouTube is a great example of
8:06
this because you can shrink it to the smallest and play videos on it so you could listen to music well not really interacting with it
8:15
moving it basically to the side just to kind of get it out of the way and not obstruct whatever
8:20
you're trying to do but the moment you press the home button it does minimize into a
8:24
uphead and that will close the video so keep that in mind if you're trying to use it in this way
8:31
battery super dead cool no one cares and then moving on to the next one it's going to be the
8:38
link to Windows option. Now I'm going to only show you where it is. And you can enable to yourself
8:45
So let's go into the settings and then advanced features. There we go advanced features right over here
8:56
And then link to Windows. So you have this option right here. So link your phone to your PC
9:02
Please allow access to your phone's camera to scan the QR code on your PC
9:06
So let's stop on continue. and right here it gives you a link to basically where you want to go on your computer so aka ms slash link phone so you can scan the code now i will also add additional basically message that this is one way of linking your phone to your computer
9:27
windows has recently implemented a different way of doing it to their phone phone up or something like that it's basically a pre-installed
9:38
application on your Windows 10, which cannot be removed. And recently, it's gone through this update where you can basically run Android applications
9:49
that are installed on your phone. They can be run on your PC
9:53
But to link it, you will need to download on your phone the Windows or Microsoft application
10:00
Now, once you find it on your computer, it will tell you basically what you need to do. But the process is very similar
10:04
Scan the QR code. link it together, be logged into on both machines with the same Windows account, and basically
10:13
everything works. And it works similarly to this where you can view messages, calls and stuff like that on your
10:19
computer, can reply to them all on your computer as long as they're linked together
10:26
With the benefit of the Windows one having the ability to run actual applications that are installed on your phone It can be run on the computer as well
10:38
Okay, so moving on to the next option, it's going to be the smart pop-up view
10:46
And this is just going, let me quickly get rid of these ones. So I don't have so much clutter here
10:53
But the smart pop-up view is basically this, but launched automatically from messaging or notification apps
11:02
So if any kind of app tries to give you notification, for instance, you get a message
11:09
it pops up a notification that, hey, Jane Doe tries to message you
11:14
You tap on it and it will open up messages in the pop-up view so you can quickly reply to it
11:20
And when you click home, it will create that app head that we had. before so it will basically create this kind of app head and that's kind of how it would work but
11:32
to get this actually working we need to go into these settings and again the advanced features
11:37
from here let's find the smart pop-up view we'll go smart pop-up view and you can now enable
11:46
apps that you want and smart pop-up view now this will only work this way if you get a
11:51
notifications and you top on it as you can see select which apps can send you
11:55
notifications that you can top top to extend in pop-up view it's only available for
12:00
apps that support multi window so again things like for instance camera if camera
12:06
could give you a notification that whatever it is need that will not go into pop-up view
12:11
because camera is not split screen capable of decent majority of the phones
12:16
I'm not actually sure if it's here so that is basically what you
12:21
could do with it. Now moving on to the next one it's going to be the side key option
12:27
Now by default if you try to hold a side key it's going to launch Bigsbee. Now as you
12:33
see Samsung moved from giving you additional key to for Bigsby and not being
12:38
able to remap to basically making power key called now side key and launching the Bigsby
12:46
because no one really wants to use it primarily. And literally moving the power
12:51
of many to notifications which majority of devices don't do that almost no other Android
12:58
does it I think there's maybe like one different one that has it but we can get back our
13:04
glorious power key and place it back where it plays is so we do it by going into the
13:11
settings and then advanced features not Google advanced features there we go and finding
13:17
side key which is right at the top and from here we have double
13:21
press that's camera you can change it as well if you want to but there it is a whole press and hold so
13:28
power off many and now if you hold it there we go the glorious power off options now as you see
13:36
there's also different options for the double press so you can launch either camera up xb or open up
13:43
another kind of app so you can choose which app you open up by double pressing now this is a little bit
13:48
more limited because if you have a lock screen, which I do, and you try to double press from a
13:54
lock screen, camera will open up no problem. It just kind of launches camera, allows you to take
13:59
photos and then goes back to being locked and you cannot leave camera without actually unlocking
14:02
the phone. But with the apps opening up, if you try to double press, it will not open an app
14:09
until you unlock the device. So it seems a little bit more limited in that case. So just bear that in
14:16
mind when you're trying to use it in such a way. Okay, so moving on further, we're going to go into the reduced animation options
14:25
Now, this is just something that will allow you to shorten the animation speed of apps
14:31
how quick they kind of like zoom in. For instance, as you see right here, the animation like right over here
14:37
Now, to access the shorter animation, again, I'm going to stay in the advanced features
14:42
and settings, and scroll down, I believe. Just find the... There we go. Reduce animation
14:52
So you select it and that's about it. As you can see, they're slightly faster
14:58
And I mean slightly at the best. So if you're not too satisfied with this option
15:06
we can take it further. By going into the about phone, enabling the developer options
15:12
right under the software information, build number, once you find the build number just up on it seven times there we go if you have the code confirm it
15:22
and developer mode has been turned on so let's go back to the main settings page and right here you'll see
15:28
developer options go into it scroll a little bit past halfway there we go and you'll find the
15:34
window animation skill transition animation skill and animation duration skill now each one of them
15:40
corresponds to different kind of animation and you can change both both or both or all of them basically And you have two options Number one is the half speed which is going to be significantly faster than the reduce animation option is
15:54
And also the off animation. It would completely remove them because why would you need them anyway
16:00
So right now this is going to be the half speed and you can clearly see the increase in speed
16:05
at which the apps zoom in out and do anything. But if we're not satisfied with this
16:11
I'm also going to showcase the ALF animations. And yeah, screw animations, right
16:16
There we go. Boom. It's basically instant now. So there's literally no animations, so applications open up instantaneously, at least to the point that processor allows them
16:27
If the phone can keep up with it, it will do it as quick as it can. Well, before animations were the limiting factor of opening up up
16:37
Okay, so moving on to the next option. it is going to be video enhancer
16:43
So this just simply adds a little bit more contrast and saturation to the video
16:48
whatever you're watching, with the supported video application. So things like YouTube are supported
16:54
Now again, I believe this was in the advanced features. Scroll down and there is video enhancer
17:00
We can actually tap on it and here is the toggle. You can tap on and off to see how it changes the image
17:07
so it is fairly minimal I would say and if you're not a fan of
17:13
the color is looking a little bit more washed out but having more clearable image
17:17
certain cases then just don't enable it but if you like the change that it implies here
17:23
then by all means just keep it on as you can see it also shows you the applications
17:28
that are supported and those are the apps that are right now installed and those are basically all the apps
17:34
that I have installed on the phone the phone has literally no apps installed so these are the stock ones that come with the device
17:41
okay and moving on to the last one it's going to be more of a privacy option for those people
17:50
that like to keep their life private so Samsung or whoever else cannot spy on them if you
17:56
kind of worry about this kind of stuff and this is the sensors off option now by default this
18:03
will be disabled and hidden fairly well because why would you have it in an easy-to-find
18:08
place so you will need to enable the developer option for this and if you skip the previous
18:15
part how I enabled this I'm going to show it again go into about phone then you go into
18:21
software information find build number and top on it seven times as you can see it tells me that
18:25
I'm already a developer so I don't need it and once you enable it you can find the developer
18:30
options at the bottom of the settings page and in here to tap on it, scroll a little bit down and you should see quick settings developer tiles
18:39
tap on it and you have the sensors off. Once you enable this, it adds the tile right over here
18:48
So now you can tap on sensors off and I will now kind of mention that once you do this
18:56
basically nothing works, nothing in terms of sensors. So you have no gyroscopes, no camera
19:03
no microphones, no speakers, the phone basically goes dead and the only thing you can use it is just kind of as a
19:11
tablet in a way so you can access just open up and interact with them
19:17
not even internet looks like it's still working at least But for instance just like I said the camera if you try to open up it just automatically crashes it doesn't even allow you to open it
19:29
So as you can see nothing and crash So it will try to open it up, but at the end of the day, by phone standards, camera doesn't
19:38
exist anymore here. So it will just keep on crashing. So this is the benefit of sensors off, and now this is just like an extreme security measure
19:50
And also I'll mention some other devices will also have this. This is not a Samsung only kind of thing, it's just something that Google implemented
19:58
But for instance companies like Huawei will deliberately pre-euvre. move this option because why would you need privacy when we can spy on you? So if you're going to
20:09
try to look for this option on different devices, there's a high chance you will find it as well
20:15
And you enable it basically the same way. And once you're done with the sensors of, make sure
20:22
you disable this option because otherwise I don't even think people can talk to you if you
20:29
have it on. So if someone calls you and you manage to pick it up, I don't
20:33
and they will be hearing you at all and you probably won't be hearing them as well
20:38
So yeah. But this will conclude the list of tweaks and tricks that I wanted to share
20:43
