2. Samsung likes to add its own flourishes to the Android operating system, which means Galaxy phones boast quite a few unique features that you won't find on standard Android devices—or iPhones for that matter. We've collected five tips and tricks that should work on Samsung Galaxy phones and Note devices released in the last couple of years (except where we state otherwise). Go ahead and take full advantage of the Galaxy experience.

3. 1. Change the order of the navigation keysDon't like the way Android arranges the navigation keys (Recents, Home, and Back) at the bottom of the screen? You can swap their order, and even make the navigation bar to stay out of the way until you need it. Open Settings and hit Display followed by Navigation bar. On the next screen, you can set a new background color for the bar and change the order in which the Recents, Home, and Back buttons appear. From the same menu, you can also add a new button to the navigation bar to hide it from view, leaving more room on screen for your apps. If you enable this hide button, it will appear on the far left of the bar. Tap it twice to hide the bar, and then drag it up from the bottom of the screen to restore the bar. Then you can double-tap the show and hide button again to lock the bar in place.

4. 2. Create GIFs from YouTube videos Everyone loves a well-chosen GIF, and Samsung Galaxy phones let you create them straight from any on-screen YouTube video—no third-party add-ons required. Instead, all you need is an integrated app called Smart Select, available on the most recent Galaxy phones (from 2017 and later). First, open a YouTube video in the app. On a Galaxy phone, you then swipe in from the right; on a Note device, you tap the S Pen icon on the right side of the screen. Next, choose Smart select followed by Animation. Arrange the capture box on screen, start playing the video, and tap Record to capture the clip you like. When you're done, tap Save to store the GIF in your Gallery app. From this repository, you can load it into other apps and share it with other people the same way you'd share a photo.

5. 3. Set customized reminders For the forgetful, phone reminders are invaluable. And when it comes to the Reminders app, Samsung phones have a couple extra tricks up their sleeves. First, you can turn any website into a reminder. Open Samsung's own browser, tap the menu button (three dots) on the top right, and then choose Share followed by Reminder. Second, you can receive a reminder about text messages too: Open Messages, long-press on the thread you want to save, and then pick Message options and Send to Reminder. These entries, like any other reminder on your phone, will appear in the Reminder app. You can also tap on any reminder and choose Edit, then tell that item to pop back into view at a certain time or location (for example, make a grocery list reappear when you take your phone to the supermarket).

6. 4. Modify the split-screen view Many Android phones let you split the screen into two so you can view a couple of apps simultaneously. But the latest version of Samsung's operating system (found on the Galaxy S8, S8 Plus and Note 8) takes this ability a step further: It lets you pin part of an app—such as a video, a portion of your Twitter feed, or a section of a map—in split-screen mode. This will leave the clip on the top of the display, while you keep working on something else underneath. On the navigation bar, tap the Recents button, scroll to the app you want to pin, and hit its Snap Window button, which looks like a box with a dashed outline. A blue box will appear over the window; position it to highlight the relevant portion of the screen and tap Done. Then you can choose another app to fill the lower half of the view. To exit this split-screen view, touch the divider line between the apps and drag it up to the top of the screen.

7. 5. Personalize your audio experience Samsung promises to create an audio experience tailored specifically to your tastes, which is especially effective when you're wearing headphones. Once you tweak the settings to find your ideal mix, the phone will remember your choices and keep those settings in place for calls, music, movies, and every other sound it emits. To tinker with the sound, go to Settings and tap Sounds and vibration followed by Sound quality and effects. On the next screen, you'll see a few equalizer options you can play around with, such as adjusting the balance between bass and treble. If you're less comfortable with technical terms and just want to feel out the best mix for you, tap Adapt Sound and then Personalize sound. This will take you through a short configuration wizard that lets you hear sample sound configurations and pick the one you like best. To go back and reconfigure the sound after you've set it, or turn off the feature, go back to the Adapt Sound screen.

8. If you have an earlier version of the Samsung Galaxy phone, you can't pull off the same trick. However, you can still use the split-screen view: Tap the Recents button, scroll to the app you want to see, and tap the icon that looks like two stacked rectangles. The app should stick to the top half of the screen. In the bottom half of the screen, scroll through the other recent apps and choose the second app you'd like to view.
