3 Fantastic Features Available Only in Samsung's Android Version

 The Android phone and the software experience will differ based on the firm that created it. While Google creates the fundamentals of the Android operating system, everyone else enjoys putting their own twist on it.

The same is true for Samsung phones, which run a version of Android known as OneUI. If you possess a Samsung phone, here are some of the most helpful features that you won't find on other brands' phones.

Device Optimization

If you open the Settings app and choose Battery and device care, you'll see a phone management panel that other Android devices don't have. Its purpose is to keep your phone working smoothly for as long as possible.

This device care and optimization service also addresses battery health, free storage, system memory, and a number of security settings. You can see an overall rating for how well optimized your device is right at the top of the screen. While the device care utilities are constantly operating in the background, you can also press the Optimize now option to undertake a manual optimization—very useful if you suspect your smartphone is having any troubles.

Looking for duplicate or huge files on your smartphone that may be taking up unnecessary space, for example, or hunting out apps that are sucking battery life, or shutting down apps running in the background needlessly are all part of the optimization process.

Secure Folder

In case you possess a mid-range or flagship Samsung smartphone, you have access to a Secure Folder, which is a specifically secured region of your device where you may keep any kind of material that no one else has access to.

Accessing the Secure Folder on your Samsung phone needs additional authentication—a fingerprint, a PIN number, or a pattern—and all data within is securely encrypted, making it almost hard to steal.

Select Biometrics and security, then Secure Folder, from the Settings menu. After you've configured your authentication method and opened the Secure Folder, you may add new files and applications by clicking the Add (plus) button. Several other applications on your phone may also add files to the Secure Folder. For example, in the Gallery app, you may choose photographs and videos, then tap More and Move to Secure Folder.

Hide Applications

You'll use certain applications a lot more than others, and you don't want a lot of unneeded apps such as copy my data taking up space on your screen—it clutters the interface and makes it harder to discover the apps you're looking for.

 

Uninstalling programs is always an option, but you may not want to go that far. Furthermore, there are several essential preloaded applications from Samsung and Google that you can't delete, so you're stuck with them. Samsung's OneUI includes a solution in the form of the ability to hide applications. They remain on your phone, but they no longer display on your home screens, app drawer, or in searches. To bring them back, you must first unhide them.

To hide applications, open the app drawer, then hit the three dots (top right), followed by Settings. Select Hide apps to hide or unhide any of the apps on your phone by choosing them from the list. All of your hidden applications are gathered at the top.
