The arguments in favor of the Samsung Galaxy S3 are well known: a large high-definition screen, extraordinary power, an attractive and light design in relation to its size, great autonomy balances and first-rate multimedia solvency.
However, among the possibilities of this high-end terminal there are hidden utilities that are as subtle as they are attractive in order to exploit some functions that can facilitate certain tasks for users. Today we will list five of the tricks that are hidden in the Samsung Galaxy S3, as well as how to put them into practice and get the most out of them.
1. Screenshots
With each new update, the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy S3 came to modify the commands to be able to make copies of what is displayed on the screen. What if the power button plus the start button, or press the volume down key next to the start button, or the capacitive back button next to the power button… Different itineraries that ended up generating complete confusion in the user.
But with the Samsung Galaxy S3 everything is much simpler. All you have to do is swipe your finger, completely positioned on the screen, from left to right or from right to left. We will see how a white burst appears going through the panel, as if it were being scanned, while the shutter click sounds as if we were taking a photograph. At that time, the image will be saved in the gallery, inside the screenshots folder.
2. Voice-launched photos
This perhaps was out of what any user could expect from the Samsung Galaxy S3. We already know that this phone operates with various voice commands, but perhaps we are unaware that even the camera can be controlled in this way. Let's do the test: if we have activated the voice commands "" which we can do from the settings menu "", just open the camera application that is integrated into the system and say out loud Shoot . At that point, the terminal will focus on the frame in front of it and capture an image. That easy.
3. Answer and reject calls
We have already spoken on occasion of Direct Call. This function allows the Samsung Galaxy S3 to identify when we have decided that, instead of writing an SMS to one of our contacts, we prefer to make a call. In the same way the telephone works to accept and reject incoming calls.
We could verify that, if we receive a call, it is enough to take the Samsung Galaxy S3 to the ear so that it interprets that we want to chat with the person who is contacting us, picking up once the sensors of the terminal verify that we have made the movement to put on earphone to ear. Similarly, if we want to reject the incoming call, we would only have to put our hand on the screen: the Samsung Galaxy S3 will understand that this is not the time to talk.
4. Blockages
This feature may go unnoticed, although it can be very useful. Suppose we are showing a video to some friends "" either because we have filmed it with the FullHD camera of the Samsung Galaxy S3 or because we have stored a sequence in its memory "". We all have the typical heavy friend who insists on tapping the screen to point to something while what we are showing is playing.
Well, with the blocking function, our dear big hands will interrupt the sequence. To do this, once we are playing the video, just press the on and off key for a moment. This will lock the touch panel while the sequence continues. This option is also available when we start the camera.
5. The screen does not turn off
There are not a few users who complain that when they are reading articles on the Internet, they must be touching the screen every few seconds to prevent it from turning off due to inactivity. Or equally, they must configure it to go to sleep manually. In this sense, the Samsung Galaxy S3 has an interesting feature, Smart Stay, which is designed for users who expect the panel to actually turn off when it is no longer being used to consult content.
Smart Stay is a function that can be activated in the Settings and Screen menu of the system, and basically what it does is interpret, with the help of its sensors, when we are observing the front of the device. Thus, when it detects that we stop looking at it, the inactivity setting "" previously configured according to the seconds that we think is necessary to stay before going to the automatic lock "" acts, so that the screen turns off.
