This is how Samsung anchors the apps in the curves of its Galaxy S6 Edge+
Samsung likes curves And it's already There are several terminals on the market that include curious and curvilinear designs on their screen From the first Samsung Galaxy Note Edge , with a single curve on one side, to the newly introduced Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+, with a screen no less than 5.7 inches and curved on both sidesNot to mention its curved televisions But it is this latest terminal that has decided to go one step further apart from design So, in addition to taking advantage of the curves to have a unique and striking look, you also want them to be useful and comfortable for the jump betweenApplications
That is why Samsung has presented Apps Edge A functionality that debuts this Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and that seeks to give greater utility to these curved sides. An idea that draws directly from Contacts Edge, which allows users who own one of these terminals with curved screen access the usual contacts quickly and comfortably, from the curve, being able to use a single finger to access them.
This is a feature that, for the moment, only comes standard with this new terminal Just slide your finger along one of the curves to bring up the regular contacts, just as it was until now. The difference is that with Apps Edge, there is a second screen dedicated exclusively to the user's favorite applications Just swipe a little to jump between contacts and applications, as if in one tab more concerned.
The good thing is that Samsung has already confirmed the possibility of customizethis section. In other words, the user can choose the five applications that appear on this screen as direct access Something that will not be governed solely by use, but by preferences of the user.Thus, just by sliding your finger across the screen a couple of times to find this top 5 applications for the user,avoiding wasting time looking for them in the box where all others are found.
Just click on the gear icon that appears above these five applications to select those that the user wants. The genre or type of application does not matter, as long as it is one of those installed on the device to access them at any time.
Comfort to always have your favorite game, the messaging application that you love the most you use, or the note tool which always takes time to find among the other utilities installed on your device. Something that takes practical advantage of a curvature that until this terminal was practically anecdotal or a mere visual detail capable of making a difference, but without much use.
Now we just have to wait for Samsung to bring Apps Edge to other terminals with curved screens, allowing other users to take advantage of this innovative design. Something that, on the other hand, has not yet been confirmed.
