Galaxy Fold
Since being an active community member and one of eight Samsung Philippines Members Stars, I've influenced people to purchase their very first Galaxy device or return to the Galaxy ecosystem. I often get asked (mostly by those new to the android platform) what personalization feature(s) I love and recommend.

There are two things at the top of my list: Swipe gestures and Edge panels.

Settings>Display>Navigation bar>Swipe gestures

Swipe Gestures will give a full screen experience as it takes away the space for navigation buttons - best for candy bar phone owners. What I like most about it is having the ability to swipe inwards on any area of the screen to mimic the "back" command.

Fair warning: first-time users of this feature will have the urge to go down where the navigation buttons used to be. I know this from first-hand experience! It's muscle memory and will take some time to adjust.

The second personalization feature I always encourage Galaxy device owners to try is enablingEdge Panels. I'm a minimalist and like to keep my Home screen clean. But I have a number of applications and commands that I always need access to. Thus, having edge panels give me easy access to what I use on a daily basis, minus the Home screen clutter. My panels of choice are:
  • Apps panel
  • Tasks panel
  • Smart select panel

Swipe gestures will remove the navigation buttons at the bottom right of this Galaxy Fold and will provide a more immersive full screen experience.

Devices should aid daily routine, and that's achievable by the countless personalization options available with Galaxy devices. Needs may change, so updating the look and feel of your Galaxy device is normal!
