5 Samsung TouchWiz features that should be in stock Android

5 Samsung TouchWiz features that should be in stock Android
TouchWiz is undeniably Samsung’s basic spie on Android. For years it was something you just had to live with and possibly crossed your hearth with: packed full unique characteristics and qualities but a total rubbish.

Nonetheless? These days it’s actually pretty good. It’s among the best-looking Android interfaces outside of a stock Marshmallow install, and by paring back some of the extras only 0.1 per cent of people used, Samsung has actually managed to come up with some bonus bits we really like.

2016 is a good year for TouchWiz, and some its features are brand new, not seen before the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge arrived. Here are the TouchWiz features we’d like to see Google bung into Android Nougat – or whatever Android O is called.


1. Continuously in plain view
The most recent variant of TouchWiz has a dependably in plain view mode. What’s more, it’s really flawless.

You need to keep your mobile device constantly on? Won’t that imply that the battery will be dead before you’ve even had an opportunity to gripe  your train home being crossed out on Twitter? seriously it  very  minimally affects stamina.

TouchWiz’s dependably on screen is here to give you a period read-out notwithstanding when you haven’t utilized the telephone as a part of two or three hours. This isn’t the first run through a telephone organization that has stuck an element like this onto Android… a long way from it. TouchWiz


Motorola has utilized this series a nuber of times in its Moto telephones, and even before then Nokia made awesome utilization of it in Windows telephones.

It’s most likely not something that’ll be the major issue when you’re going to purchase a telephone, yet every time we wind up utilizing one of these dependably on troopers, they improve a much work area mate than a standard old telephone. This is one of TouchWiz’s most up to date includes as well, having just landed with the S7 family and now utilized on the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

Whatever it does is to show the time, date, battery life and a symbol or two in the event that you have any notices, in white on a dark foundation. This is a Samsung highlight, so it’s nothing unexpected you can tweak it pretty altogether as well – and with the Note 7, this incorporates some truly favor space heavenly body pictures.

The main confusion is that unless you have an OLED screen or a genuinely effective LCD one, it might eat a lump out of the telephone’s run-time. As OLEDs have emissive pixels, just a small part of the presentation must be fueled – however we figure Google could make this work.

2. Recording of your super-sweet gaming triumphs 

The new TouchWiz feature all the nerds are talking about is Game Launcher. Our general opinion on even good third-party software extras is usually “yep it’s fine, but I’d still trade it for vanilla Android”, but Game Launcher has had a good stab at changing that.
It’s Samsung’s nod to the idea that the one thing just about everyone seems to do on their phone is use Facebook and play casual games. Far more people we know do that than make calls these days.
This smart feature puts all the games you install into one neat folder, and lets you do all sorts of clever stuff while you’re playing. The one that grabs attention was recording of your mobile game footage. You’re probably no YouTube star, but this is a feature that could open up a whole new generation of ‘Let’s Play’ mobile game channels.
Whether that’s a good thing or not is up for debate. If you’re not an online video obsessive, this is where someone plays through and commentates on a game, often with hilarious results.
Other more practical features of Game Launcher include being able to manually select the game resolution and refresh rate to save battery, and locking your soft keys so you don’t boot yourself out of a game in a frantic moment of screen-tapping.

3. Camera application
Maybe the single weakest part of the vanilla Android experience is the camera application. It’s fine yet nothing more, when whatever remains of the OS is level out incredible now.

Samsung’s Galaxy S7 camera application is a great deal better. Right out of the door, it just gives you an extremely basic and clear Auto interface. Simply snap away and you’ll have the capacity to get some incredible shots with no exertion.

There are a few layers to this appy onion, however. More propelled settings are put at your thumb-tips and the further you burrow the more modes and settings you’ll discover.

Samsung’s camera application used to be somewhat of a baffling wreckage of additional modes that were given an excessive amount of the spotlight. Yet, following a couple of years of individuals like us and you whining, Samsung sorted its amusement out.

Presently it has one of the best Android camera applications out there. And in addition being quick and offering super-compelling HDR shots, there’s manual control and RAW catch. This offers information rich photographs before the telephone’s handling has put its blemish on them, giving you add up to control – whether that could be prepared into all telephones however stays to be seen.

4. Crippling of applications

Android Nougat does its best to improve the nuts and bolts of its interface. In any case, that implies you don’t get a horrendous parcel of control over what it would appear that.

One thing TouchWiz gives you a chance to do that a ton of different interfaces don’t is toeffectively uninstall any application on the telephone, even ones in the center Google line-up you’re not typically permitted to touch. It does this by impacting them from the applications menu without really evacuating the application information. It’s a guile “escape clause” of sorts.

Already Samsung used to let you both cover up and “impair” applications, yet in the most recent adaptation of TouchWiz you can just do the last mentioned.

You may contend that we ought to have the capacity to completely uninstall any application we like, yet then preinstalled applications are by and large beautiful diddy seemingly insignificant details memory-wise at any rate. What crippling applications gives you a chance to do is truly curtailed all that application bloat without setting off to the tedious, conceivably guarantee voiding, exertion of introducing a custom ROM on your telephone.

The key contrast here is that while you’ve possessed the capacity to impair applications from Android for some time, concealing them away has dependably been somewhat trickier – so how about we make it as straightforward as TouchWiz.

5. Exchanging the applications network design
Android looks and feels great, which is the reason such a large number of individuals want for its straightforwardness. It’s nearly been 10 years since Android was conceived, and just now has it truly nailed down absolutely available visuals with a smart however smooth feel. With that has come complete inflexibility in its design, however.

Alternately, TouchWiz gives you a chance to pick between having four lines of applications on the screen and five, giving you a chance to pack in more visual data than a Nexus gadget. You could accomplish the same thing on your stock Android gadget now in the event that you introduce a launcher – a skin that sits upon the framework and permits you to change all way of things – yet for those that like to keep it basic, we’d like to see this of course.

This comes in especially helpful on telephones with 5.5-inch screens or bigger, where a 4-symbol width style just means a considerable measure of squandered space. Also, application symbols that wouldn’t watch strange on a tablet intended for children.

Most telephones above £200/US$300/AU$400 effortlessly have enough pixels to crush in those additional components without leaving somewhat littler symbols looking remotely blocky.

Overhaul: We’ve rolled out a few improvements to  the diagram in relation to what sort of impairing of applications we are describing, and brought up the alternatives of stock launchers in the event that you need some of these elements at this moment. On account of our analysts, including their contemplations – let us know whether you need to see anything as well!
