A 70s weather guys also be making a dedicated video for the best features where I'll be showing you all. The features offered by this phone so definitely check out that video link will be in the description now with that said, first I want to start off with the sidekick feature now. This phone has just three buttons: the volume up and down and the power button, but you can also use this power button for big P by default. You can long press it to enable bigamy, and you can directly ask a question, and it will give you an answer and in case, if you're wondering to access the power options, you need to go to the notification area and click this button for the power menu. Now, if you don't like this setup, and you want the regular power button, this is what you can do.
First, the settings then select advanced features, then select side key and then select power of menu in the second option. Once you do that, you can press and hold the power button for power options now over here we also have a nice little shortcut to open the camera application by double pressing the power button. Just make sure the first option is selected. Now we can just press the power button twice to open the camera application quickly. So that's a pretty neat little shortcut next I'm going to show you how to disable this dynamic, lock screen wallpaper.
So every time you go to the lock screen, you see a different wallpaper. Some people like this feature some people. Don't if you like me, you want to disable it. This is what you can do. Buddha settings then select lock, screen now select, lock screen stories; now just disable it once you do that you get a fixed, lock, screen wallpaper right now, it's being called as lock screen stories and with the future update it might be called as dynamic wallpapers.
So if you can't find lock screen stories, look for that now, I'm going to show you how to enable dark mood on this phone. For that go to settings then select display settings over here. We have night mall Google calls a dark moon, it's like a dark theme and once you enable it all, the UI elements change to dark mode. Now the phone will look much cooler, it'll help you save some battery as well, and if you like me, who uses your phone late at night, this dark mode will put less strain on your eyes. Now.
This is a notification area. These are the toggles and this is a phone dialer. So, as you can see, even some stock applications have changed the theme, so that's night mode or dark mode on Samsung phones, and once you click on it, you get an extra option to shade you let now you can automatically turn on and turn off night mode at a specific time, or it's sunset and sunrise. So it's a pretty cool feature, and you can also enable and disable night mode from the toggles. We have a dedicated toggle for that.
Oh here now, I'm going to show you how to take a screenshot on your phone for that press, the volume down and power button, both at the same time, and you'll, get this animation, and now you've got a screenshot. Besides that, you can also do a palm swipe gesture to take a screenshot. Now this feature is enabled by default, but for some reason, if the gesture doesn't work, this is what you need to do. Go to settings then select advanced features, now select, motions and gestures and make sure this particular toggle is enabled. If it is enabled you can swipe to take a screenshot now I'm going to show you how to take a long screenshot on this phone.
For that first, we need to take a regular screenshot. We can either use the buttons or the gesture, and once you take a screenshot, you get this small preview over here. Now you need to click this button. Once you do that, your page will scroll a bit, you need to click this button on and on and once you're done, you can just leave it, and you get a long screenshot and here's the preview now for some reason, if you don't get this menu, this menu right there.

Do give it a try now I'm going to show you some camera related stuff. So this is a default camera application, and over here we have a toggle to switch between the primary camera and the wide-angle camera. Instead of using this toggle, we can also use the pinch to zoom gesture to switch between the primary camera and the wide-angle camera and that's the preview. Now these are all the different modes.
This one has, and you can also switch between them by swiping, left or right.

So guys that was the pop-up you now. This phone has a new feature called smart pop-up. You can enable it from settings advanced features and smart pop-up.

This is what you need to do. Go to settings then select notifications, click status bar and enable this toggle.
Once you do that, you can see the bad percentage on the status bar now I'm going to show you some important home screen related shortcuts on your default home screen.

You can do a swipe gesture to go to the app drawer so making that little change will make your phone much more convenient to use next.
If you swipe down using a single finger from the top of the screen, you go to the notification area, but if you do the same with two fingers, it directly takes you to the notification toggles. Now these are all your notification toggles. You can also rearrange them by clicking this button then select button order now long press on any of these toggles and move them to the desired location and drop them.

Furthermore, we can change a Wi-Fi network without going to settings and for torch. Furthermore, we get something interesting now.
This is a regular toggle. I can just turn off and turn on the torch, but if I click, oh here, I get to change the intensity of the torch. Now here's a quick preview. Now this is the brightness slider and by default it's only available on this page. If you go back to the notification area, it's not available, but if you click this button and enable the second toggle you can access the brightness slider, even in the notification page.
