Do not miss these tricks of the Samsung Galaxy A80
Enable rotation only for certain apps
Something very useful when we want to rotate an application but, nevertheless, the rest we want to remain in a vertical position. This, which can be achieved with some third-party applications (just search for 'screen rotate' in the Play Store) is incorporated by the Samsung Galaxy A80 as standard. All we have to do is block the rotation of the device in the notification curtain until it is 'vertical' and then open the application that we want to rotate. Now, look at the upper right side (or lower right, depending on the orientation) of the screen, that a small icon will appear with a mobile on its side. Click on this icon and the screen will rotate automatically. When you exit, the device will continue to rotate locked.
Record a video with the background out of focus
Indeed, the front camera, which is also the rear, can record video with portrait mode, not just photography. So you can get videos with a very colorful blur effect. To do this, in the camera application we will only have to turn it and activate the 'Dynamic video' mode. Just start recording and the blur will be selected automatically. An effect that users who use their mobile to record YouTube videos will greatly appreciate.
Enable dark mode in the user interface
As a good Samsung terminal, the panel that incorporates this Galaxy A80 is Super AMOLED, so the blacks are represented with the turning off of the pixels and not with a color. That is why many say that putting a black background and activating dark mode helps them save battery. Whether this is a myth or not, what does help to put the dark mode in our applications is in plain sight. To activate it on this phone we have to do the following.
- Access the terminal settings
- In 'Screen' click where it says ' Night Mode '
- On the next screen we have two options: either activate it and carry the mobile always like this or program a time to activate the dark mode. The last decision is in your hand.
Lift the mobile to activate the screen
This Samsung Galaxy A80 has a fingerprint sensor under the screen and it works much better if we place our finger when the screen is on. Although, sure, it is a bit annoying to have to first unlock the phone, make the screen wake up, and then place your finger. Wouldn't it be better to lift the mobile and have the screen turn on by itself, then placing your finger to unlock it? We tell you how to do it.
- Let's go into the phone settings
- Then, we enter 'Advanced Features'
- Then 'Movements and gestures'
- The first switch is the one you have to activate. From that moment, the mobile will turn on as soon as you lift it from the table or remove it from your pocket.
Take a selfie with the palm of your hand
This is not a specific trick of the Samsung Galaxy A80 but it is something that many are unaware of and is being able to take a selfie by showing the palm of your hand to the camera. Such that so. When the selfie camera distinguishes the palm of your hand, a timer begins, located in the upper right part of the mobile. When the circle is filled in, the selfie will be taken without you having to press any buttons. This makes the task easier especially when they are group selfies.
Activate ambient display with one touch
Ambient display is a battery drain feature. No matter how little you spend, if we don't use it we will save a peak. But of course, having the option to use it, why are we going to waste it? There is a way, however, to activate the ambient screen and that uses less battery, and that is to activate it only when we press once on the screen. To configure it in this way, we do the following.
- We enter the device settings
- Now, click on 'Lock screen'
- Look, on the next screen, where it says ' Always on Display '. Enter here.
- Now, in 'Screen mode' we will establish how we want the ambient screen. We can choose between 'Click to show', which is the one I recommend, 'Always show' or 'Show according to planning'. This last option is also convenient to save battery because we will establish a schedule for the ambient screen, thus preventing it from being connected 24 hours a day.
Configure navigation buttons or gestures
We have two ways to move around the Samsung Galaxy A80: either with gestures or with on-screen buttons. Both the gestures and the buttons on the screen have the same order of actions: from left to right, back, home and back. We can change the order if we enter the settings, screen and navigation bar. On this screen we will choose the navigation mode and the button layout.
