Many Samsung Galaxy smartphones, particularly those in the mid-range and high-end categories, hide features that can significantly improve device performance. One notable example is the rear sensor, which can be customized to execute specific actions, streamlining various tasks for users.
Utilizing the Good Lock app within the Samsung One UI interface, users can capture screenshots without the hassle of multiple button presses.
