The Galaxy S20 family is 3 great smartphones. I decided to buy the best one, the Galaxy S20 Ultra. One UI of the new family has functions that must be set up right after the device starts up in order to enjoy the best user experience. Here are the Galaxy S20 settings worth changing as soon as possible.

Galaxy S20 settings

All the above-mentioned functions can be found in the "settings" section of the Galaxy S20 smartphone, to which we can get by expanding the notification bar and clicking on the gear icon.

Add a few prints of one finger

Some time ago I wrote that the fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S20 is just OK. However, to improve the effectiveness of its operation, it is worth adding a few prints of the same finger. To do this:

Always On Display

Important feature that allows you to save battery as you can see immediately if there is any notification. To set it, enter the "Lock screen" and slide the switch of the "Always On Display" function. By clicking on the name of an option, you can set the display preferences. We can choose from "Tap to show", "Always display" or "Show on schedule". In the latter, you can set the hours for displaying the function. In the "Clock style" option it is also worth setting its appearance.

Screen refresh rate of 120 Hz

It is a sin not to take advantage of this feature, as it is turned off by default, actually set to 60 Hz. In order to change this option, go to "Display" and then "Smoothness of movement". Select 120 Hz. However, it should be remembered that so far, this function cannot be set at a resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels (i.e. WQHD +). Apparently it will be possible in the future.

Dark Mode

In order to save energy of the device, it is recommended to use the display settings and turn on the dark mode. This is the first option (top-down) in this section.

navigation

In the "Display" section there is also a very important function called "Navigation Bar". Here you can change the default navigation buttons to more functional and useful gestures. Fortunately, these have been improved compared to the previous versions and now work really great. I can't imagine going back to the virtual navigation buttons.

Gestures

In the settings, it is a good idea to enable or disable the gestures that will be necessary or redundant. To do this, go to the "Advanced Features" section, and then click on "Motions and gestures". Several switches for the following gestures will be displayed:

Customize the edge screen

The edge screen is a very handy feature with great tools. You can find its options under "Display"> "Edge Screen". I recommend that you enable three very functional tools:

Set the switch function

Fortunately, the Galaxy S20 does not have a physical Bixby key. In addition, Samsung allowed the operation of the switch to be programmed. This setting is under "Advanced Features"> "Side Key". It is especially useful to set this button to be pressed twice. It's nice that Samsung is listening to its customers.

Galaxy S20 Settings - Connect to Windows

A very useful function, thanks to which the phone connects wirelessly and seamlessly to a computer with Windows 10. However, two important conditions must be met. First of all, you must have the current version of Windows 10 and the "Your phone" application downloaded, and secondly, you must have a Microsoft account. When your phone and computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, transferring files or writing SMS from a PC is a fairy tale. The feature settings can be found under "Advanced Features"> "Connecting to Windows".

Bixby Routines

An ingenious feature for setting automated routines, it consists of two parts:

An example of one of my procedures can be seen in the attached picture.
