10 features of Samsung smartphones that you didn't know about

If we talk about the features of the Samsung A52 phone, then we need to start with the fact that a feature is something that goes beyond the normal limits.

Therefore, if you compare the Samsung A52, for example, with the iPhone 12, then it is unlikely to find anything like that.

It’s another matter if you compare it with its peers in terms of price and class. Moreover, if we take into account the same manufacturer.

Yes, then there will be chips in it, and now I’ll tell you about those. I'll start with the less significant ones (although it depends on whom).

Protected folders

Samsung smartphones are already famous for their protection system, but few people know that you can separately protect each folder in your smartphone, except for system folders. Samsung Knox service helps protect smartphone components that contain sensitive information. Externally, such windows look like a separate operating system, so even if attackers gain access to your operating system, they will not be able to open additional folders.

Each smartphone, in addition to a good screen, a powerful processor and a high-quality camera, also contains a large number of software features, the cost of which is already included in the price of the device.

It would not be very wise not to use what you have already paid for, but it is much more offensive not to even realize the existence of many useful functions and features literally “hidden” in your smartphone!

Capture with gesture, touch, key or voice

Most smartphones running the Android operating system allow you to set up shooting using a gesture or touching the screen, the power button, or a voice command. This is very convenient when taking selfies or shooting from a tripod. To configure this option, open the camera and go to settings, open the “Shooting methods” section and move the lever opposite the selected method. The system will offer to record a voice command or show a gesture on camera that will be used in the future. Save the setting so you can use it every time you try to take a photo.

Great display

Samsung has always been and will continue to be praised for its high-quality displays; the Galaxy S10e is traditionally good. It has good resolution, a clear picture and a solid 5.8-inch diagonal. It's like the flagship Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S8, but it doesn't have a curved screen. More precisely, there are still small bends at the edges; this is the so-called 2.5D glass.


Unlike the S10, the S10e has a screen covered with Gorilla Glass 5, not 6

Always On Display

The average user checks their phone display about a hundred times a day. If you don't want to be one of those people who constantly grab their smartphone to check messages and updates, display all the necessary information on the screen. The Always On Display option allows you to display information about messages, time and battery charge even when you are in sleep mode. You can check the necessary information simply by looking at the screen, without activating it.

It is small!

The tiny iPhone SE has long held the title of “the smallest flagship,” but its time has passed, the era of large displays has arrived. Yes, this is cool, but still not everyone dreams of having a gigantic-sized “spatula” in their pocket.


Notice the nice bright yellow coloring

In my opinion, 5.5–6 inches is more than enough for a phone, but it’s increasingly difficult to find a small device with top-end hardware, so you have to look towards flagships.

And then it comes out, the small and convenient Samsung Galaxy S10e. Thin frames, no unibrow - a very nice phone, except that the black dot camera immediately attracts attention. This is still unusual and unfamiliar, original.


And the camera was hiding in the corner

Light, thin, not miniature, but moderately compact smartphone compared to its larger brothers. I really liked it; I haven’t held such phones in my hands for a long time. Of the recent small flagships, the Pixel 3 or Xiaomi Mi 6 comes to mind. But the Pixel 3 has hefty frames with similar sizes, and the Mi 6 is already relatively old and is not on sale.

Featured camera

Compared to older models, the Galaxy S10e turned out to be a little simpler: it has not four, but three cameras, but that’s also good! Main camera plus wide-angle! True, wide-angle without autofocus. This means that there will be no problems when photographing architecture, but it will be inconvenient to photograph small objects on the table.


They write on the Internet that it would be possible to install a higher resolution screen. It’s possible, but for connoisseurs there are more expensive versions of the Galaxy S10, and this one is for ordinary people, not geeks.

You can customize your Samsung camera using HDR

The HDR (high dynamic range) option changes the ratio between light and dark images in real time. This allows us to achieve realism in the color rendition of the photographs we receive. When you activate this option, your Samsung phone takes three photos at different exposures, and then blends them together to create the most realistic image possible.

It is recommended to use HDR for landscape shots, low-light shots, and shots with a lot of sunlight. Wherever the light source is, you should use HDR for optimal results.

Using HDR allows you to get higher quality results

Camera app on Samsung A50

The Samsung A50 phone is a modern device that has three camera modules installed - the main one and two additional ones, which make the image as high-quality and natural as possible.

There are seven shooting modes available in the Camera app of this phone:

  • "Panorama";
  • “Pro” (a number of professional settings described above are available)
  • Live Focus (Portrait Mode);
  • "Photo";
  • "Video recording";
  • "Slow motion";
  • "Hyperlapse" (accelerated video with image stabilization). Shooting modes on Samsung A50

The following modes are available in the camera settings:

  • “Personnel optimization”;
  • “Hold the shutter button”;
  • "Save Options"
  • “Video size (main camera)”;
  • “Video size (front camera)”;
  • “Video with high encoding ratio”;
  • “HDR (rich tones)”;
  • "Net";
  • "Geotags";
  • "Camera Modes";
  • “Shooting methods”;
  • “Quick launch” and others, the specifics of which we talked about above.

On the shooting screen in the additional settings, you can configure the camera on Samsung by turning the flash on or off, activating the timer and filters, changing the aspect ratio of the shots and making other settings. In general, nothing complicated, unusual or significantly different from what we told earlier.

Mode Button

In your Samsung's camera settings, you can find a "Mode" button, which will give you access to the functionality of the "Pro" button.

The latter will give you access to professional camera settings.

In particular, here you can configure:

  • Brightness;
  • ISO (camera sensitivity to light);
  • White balance;
  • Focal length;
  • Filters and other options suitable for digital camera professionals.

Having become familiar with the basic camera settings, we’ll figure out how to set up a camera on a Samsung using examples from a number of models.

This will come in handy: camera failure on Samsung - what to do.

Fingerprint scanner on the right

In the younger model, the scanner is located not in the screen, but on the side. This is unusual: Samsung usually has the sensor located on the back. But there are rare exceptions to the rules: for example, the Galaxy A7 (2018) also had a scanner on the right side.

Whether it is convenient or not is difficult to say. For example, I am right-handed, and it’s convenient for me to press. But if your main hand is left, then you need to try. In any case, face unlock works, the function works quickly and without delay.

A way to set up photo and video shooting on the Samsung Galaxy A-7

Setting up the built-in camera on a Samsung A-7 smartphone is as follows:

  1. Tap on the camera icon on the home screen of your smartphone; Tap the Camera app icon
  2. Then click on the gear icon at the top left (Settings); Click on the settings icon
  3. Click on the "Video Size" option to set the optimal size (FHD, HD and VGA are available). After making your selection, click on the “Back” button; Choose the optimal video mode
  4. Next, if necessary, activate the “Grid Lines” option; Activate the grid option if necessary
  5. You can activate the “Location tags” option to apply location tags to the photo; Select the "Location tags" option to enable location tags
  6. If you want to see the captured image immediately after shooting, then activate the “Review pictures” option; If you want to make sure the quality of the resulting image, activate the option to review images
  7. You can enable the camera's quick launch by double-clicking the Home button. To do this, you will need to activate the “Quick Launch” option;
  8. Activating the “Volume Keys” option will allow you to bind the volume of the shooting function, zoom, and more to the keys; Use the volume keys to shoot and zoom using the "Volume keys function" option

If you want to reset all the settings that have already been made, then there is the “Reset settings” option for this.

After making the settings, you just have to go directly to the shooting mode.

Top iron

People gradually got used to the fact that hundreds of thousands of “parrots” in benchmarks mean nothing. And there may be lags, brakes from scratch. Nevertheless, Samsung did not become greedy and added the same processor to the Galaxy S10e as in the more expensive model. This is the latest Samsung Exynos 9820, it has become faster and more productive than the old chip (who would doubt it). There will also be a version with Snapdragon 855, but not for Russia, but for America.

The phone immediately received 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory, plus a microSD tray is available if you need more space. Very good, because the Galaxy S8 and S9 had 4 GB of RAM, progress. And the volume of its own memory has been doubled, which is also pleasing.

Interesting charging options

The fast wired charging feature itself is not surprising. And fast wireless charging too. But the fact that the phone can charge other devices wirelessly is very interesting. That is, you take the Galaxy S10e, attach, for example, the iPhone XR to it and charge the iPhone from the Samsung.

At the same time, Samsung could have stuffed a higher-capacity 4000-4500 mAh battery into the smartphone and created a long-lasting flagship, but it didn’t. It's a pity, this would be a unique offer on the market.

Communication happiness

To begin with, Samsung has retained the 3.5mm headphone jack. Plus NFC for contactless payments via Samsung Pay, this is also important. Well, it goes without saying things like Bluetooth 5.0, fast LTE and two slots for SIM cards. I note that the SIM card slot has been combined with a compartment for a memory card, so you still have to choose what to put in the phone

Not so expensive

Compared to the older Galaxy S10, its younger brother turns out to be a better buy. Yes, in any case, the phone is not cheap, but it still costs significantly less than other new products in the S-series. Its official price is 56,990 rubles. For comparison, the Galaxy S10 costs 68,990 rubles, and the S10+ costs 76,990 rubles.

At the same time, the phone has to compete with its relatives in the model range. You can buy a Galaxy S8 for 39,990 rubles, and last year’s flagship Galaxy S9 will cost 49,990 rubles. And now you’ll start thinking about which Samsung to choose. But this is a topic for another conversation.

After the first acquaintance with the phone, one gets the impression that this is, if not ideal, then certainly a compact and powerful Android smartphone that deserves attention. Convenient sizes, several cameras for photo games, protection from water, an excellent screen, a lot of memory and a decent level of performance. The phone turned out to be a little simpler than the Galaxy S10, but at the same time significantly cheaper, and you won’t have to sacrifice important functions.
