Tilt for a Customized PlaylistTo set up a playlist, it requires some time since it is an art form. It could be a little bit challenging sometimes to get that done. But when you are in the groove, the last thing you want is an inadequately shuffled list of songs to ruin it.
Bookmark for Your favorite Apps with ‘Toolbox’
This is a small widget that opens and closes like a mini-folder or app-drawer. It can be moved around anywhere around the screen due to its small round nature. Simply place your favorite applications here and access them quickly whenever you need them.
Use Any Object As A Stylus With Enhanced Touch Sensitivity
This app enables you to use just about anything as a stylus, there is no need to go purchase one. Smartphones are meant for finger touch and this makes the phone awesome. But it’s nice to use a stylus when our hands are too cold to pull out of our gloves or too filthy to feel good about. With the use of stylus, the Galaxy S5’s Enhanced Touch Sensitivity allows you to use anything in touching the phone, what this means is, any object can be used in touching the phone, but we should be careful not to let objects that could harm the phone touch it.

This enables us to run two apps side-by-side for super multitasking. Some phones are meant for getting single tasks done, it can be so annoying when using a phone and have to be jumping from one app to another. For instance, when playing music or in a text message chat or conversion but trying to watch a YouTube video, Multiwindows will enable you to run this two apps concurrently and can even adjust the size of the two apps for comfort.

A big phone is sometimes very difficult to handle with one hand. All thanks to Galaxy S5’s One Handed Mode that can shrink the current size of the app and can allow us to reach everything with ease.
