The Galaxy S6 Edge is definitely a contender for the title of the most talked about Android smartphone of the year, but not everyone knows what potential this device actually holds in combination with a curved screen. In this article, we will tell you about 10 unique features of the S6 Edge that you may not have known about yet.
1. Let's choose a side. Which edge is the best?
The first thing you should know about the dual-curved screen on the Galaxy S6 Edge is that you can only use one edge at a time. All the information available with this cannot be placed on two faces at the same time. If you are left-handed, then most likely you should use the left side; and vice versa, the right one is for right-handers. Keep in mind that everything will work exactly the same, regardless of which side you choose. To change the settings, go to “Settings”, then to “Curved Screen”, and then to “Side Screen Position”.
2. Tag friends with colored tags (People Edge)
This may be the coolest thing you can do with one of the edges of your smartphone. You can assign a color to your favorite contacts that will be displayed during a call. The side screen will also glow different colors when you receive notifications (missed calls, messages, etc.) from contacts on your favorites list. To obtain detailed information, you will just need to swipe your finger over the indicator of a particular color.
3. Reject incoming calls with your finger and send an auto-reply
Let’s go to the “Edge Backlighting” subsection of the “Curved Screen” section. There you can use a feature such as activating the side screen when receiving calls or notifications when the phone is face down. But what’s most interesting is that you can also enable the so-called “Quick Reply” there. If you receive an incoming call and you're busy, simply place your finger on the heart rate sensor to reject the call and automatically send the caller a preset message.
4. Set up notifications
Once you have activated “People Edge”, next step- selection of notifications. On this moment there aren't many of them (missed call, sending SMS and email), but we hope that in the future it will be possible to add actions of third-party applications. To enable the option, go to Settings > Curved Screen > Notification Selector.
5. Display useful information on the side screen
The edge can act as a kind of ticker for displaying weather forecasts, stock quotes, sports results, notifications, etc. Not that you can’t do without it, but it looks interesting. In order to activate the option, you must enable “ Information flow” in the side screen settings. There you can also set the content to be displayed.
6. “Night clock” as a replacement for a bedside clock
What the new AMOLED screen does well is in terms of power consumption. It has long been no secret that on displays of this type, black color is obtained by turning off the necessary pixels. Go to Settings > Curved Screen > Night Clock and enable the option. Now, when the screen is darkened, information about the current time and date will appear on the edge. This way, you don't have to unlock your device just to check the time.
7. Themes
New line Galaxy smartphones supports Samsung branded themes. With just one button, you can change the interface look of your S6 Edge. Go to Settings > Themes. A number of pre-installed options are already available there, and new solutions can be downloaded from the store. New topics are released every week.
8. Interface font type
The interface on the Galaxy S6 Edge can also be refreshed by installing a new font type. Go to Settings > Display > Font Size. There you will see several preset styles. Scroll down and click “Download Fonts”. The store offers both free and paid options.
9. Save battery power
The Galaxy S6 Edge has two proprietary modes to save battery power: simple power saving mode and ultra power saving mode. The first of them just limits the operation of the processor, reduces brightness, disables vibration, and reduces the time the screen is locked after a notification arrives. The second is intended for more critical situations. It turns the display into grayscale, limits the number of apps you can use (which ones are up to you), and disables most phone features except the most essential ones. To activate one or another mode, go to “Settings” > “Battery”.
10. Managing desktops
If you're one of those Android users who doesn't look for third-party launchers and just accepts the pre-installed one, then Samsung has some interesting options for you. With a long press on the screen, you can switch to desktop management mode. Here you can rearrange the home screen, add a widget, change the grid of desktop icons, disable the Flipboard summary and, of course, change the wallpaper. By the way, from here you can immediately go to the section with topics that we talked about earlier.

Choosing the right face
First of all, users must decide which side is more convenient for them to use, since the smartphone offers to choose the right or left side. Information cannot be located on both sides. For left-handers, it will probably be more convenient to use the left side, and for right-handers, accordingly, the right side will be more suitable. The choice of one panel or another does not affect the functionality of the device, since everything works identically on the right and left. To install the working part of the smartphone, you need to select the “Curved screen” section in the settings menu, and then select the preferred side in the “Side screen location” item.
Using two-color tags to identify friends (People Edge)
Among all the possibilities, many users like this feature of the side edges more than all the others. So, any favorite contact can be marked with a specific color, displayed during calls. In this case, the sidebar will change its color when notifications arrive (SMS, missed calls) from tagged contacts. To withdraw more detailed information about an event, just swipe your finger over the color indicator.
Send an auto answer and reject incoming calls
In the "Curved Screen" settings section, you can use the advanced functionality of the "Edge Backlight" menu. The user can set the side panel to be activated as an alarm for incoming calls or notifications when the device is positioned “screen down”. In the same menu item you can use "Quick Reply". After this, the user who is busy and cannot answer an incoming call has the opportunity to reject the call with just a touch of his finger on the heart rate sensor. In this case, a pre-prepared message will be sent to the caller.
Notification options
Following the launch of the People Edge service, it's worth setting up notifications. There aren't many types of notifications available right now (email, SMS, missed call), but it's likely that third-party developers will start adding new features to their apps that take advantage of the side edges. To activate notifications, you need to activate the option in the settings menu in the "Curved screen" -> "Select notifications" section.
Display useful information on the side screen
For the side edge there is a function of a kind of “creeping line”, where data on the weather forecast, notifications, results of sports competitions, stock quotes, etc. are displayed.

In addition, the user chooses the content that will be displayed himself.

On the menu curved screen, located in general settings smartphone, there is an option "Night hours". After launching this function, when the main screen dims, information about the current date and time will begin to be displayed on the side edge. This will let you know the time just by looking at your device, without having to unlock it.

Battery Saver
A Galaxy S6 Edge user can set one of two battery saving modes in the settings: normal and ultra mode. Through the first, a limit is set on the energy consumption of the device’s processor, the display brightness is reduced, vibration is turned off, and the time the screen is locked when a notification is displayed is reduced. Ultra mode has an even greater effect: it sets the screen to black and white, disables some applications running in the background (the list is editable), and in general, only the most necessary functions of the smartphone remain active. To select any energy-saving mode, you need to go to “Settings” -> “Battery”.

How is multitasking organized in Android?
Android applications consist of several components. There are four types of components: Activities, Services, Broadcast receivers And Content providers.
Activities represent a graphical user interface for a specific task. For example, an SMS application may have one activity for displaying a list of contacts, one for creating a message, etc. An Activity can be in one of three states:
1. Active or running – in this state it is in the foreground and interacts with the user;
2. Paused – is in the background, but visible to the user, for example, partially blocked by a new activity;
3. Stopped – completely blocked by another activity. But it still retains its state, although it is completely hidden from the user.
In the Paused and Stopped states, the activity can be unloaded from memory. A situation may arise when the user, returning to the unloaded activity, would like to see it in the state in which he left it. This is possible if you call the onSaveInstanceState() method before unloading the activity, and call the onRestoreInstanceState() method when restoring or creating the activity. In this case, it is possible to save the current (at the time of unloading) activity state. Here we can draw an analogy with the hibernation mode in PC OS.
