It is curious that for some users, the great advantages of the Samsung Galaxy S4 may be, precisely, the most shocking arguments when it comes to taking over the flagship of the South Korean firm. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is very powerful, loaded with smart features, and can handle a multitude of tasks. But this is precisely where the idea lies that it can be a difficult phone to handle. In that case, it is enough to refer to the so-called Easy Mode to illustrate that this device is capable of making easy what is apparently difficult.
The Easy Mode does not contain many secrets. As its name indicates, it is a configuration designed to simplify things when we operate the terminal. It is a user interface that is integrated into the main screen, as well as some of the features of the Samsung Galaxy S4, so that users who are not used to getting the most out of the features of an Android mobile in general and a device with the native layer of Samsung in particular can start using this smartphone without complicating life too much.
From the outset, once we activate the Easy Mode on the Samsung Galaxy S4, the desktop will become simplified following several guidelines. The first one is that only three configurable spaces will be kept. The control panel will maintain three floating windows with contextual information (time, date and meteorological information), as well as six icons dedicated to six of the most common accesses that a user usually uses (camera, gallery, contact list, web browser, telephone and courier). These icons will also take on a noticeably larger size than in the usual mode, something that will be especially useful for users with poor eyesight.
The other two desktop screens are reserved for configuring shortcuts. One of them focuses on the functions of the telephone ”” mainly for calls and SMS messages ””. The idea is that we can install shortcuts to our favorite contacts, so that it is not necessary to go looking for them every time we want to call or send messages. In addition, access to the call history is integrated in a much simpler and more agile way. The third screen can be completed with accesses dedicated to our favorite applications. Again, the size of these icons will be clearly larger than usual if Easy Mode is not activated.
To complete what is interesting about the Easy Mode, it should be noted that with this configuration the wallpapers and the more complex animations are eliminated, which has a positive effect on autonomy. In addition, it is possible to toggle between this mode and the usual one without the details configured in each one being lost with each change. To be able to access this Easy Mode ”” or to deactivate it, if we have it selected ””, just go to the Android settings menu and go to “my device”. Once there, we select "home screen", where we will find the location of the Easy Mode.
