One-hand modes are very common in the different layers of manufacturer software, and they have been for many years, because they have simply been necessary to be able to use the phone more comfortably. And more now with huge screens like those that Samsung phones also have.
With these modes it is easier to reach everything on the screen of our phone, since the size of it is temporarily reduced, while it is activated. In this way with just one hand we can get to everything easily.
Why a one-handed mode?
This mode is available on different phones, and logically with the screens that are popular today among phones, its existence is logical. Recall that while two or three years ago a mobile with a 5.5-inch screen was already large, now the normal thing is that even the most basic phone has screens of around 6.5 inches. Logically, if these modes already existed with the previous dimensions, now their existence makes even more sense. Well, if you have a Samsung mobile with One UI , you will be able to verify that accessing the one-handed mode and activating it will be very simple.
Once we do, the screen will shrink down to at least two-thirds its normal size. In such a way that where before the fingers of your hand did not reach, now they can access perfectly. Therefore, if you have small hands , this mode will come in handy, since you will be able to move through the menus of the mobile and its apps with complete ease, and very important, without compromising the stability of the phone in your hand. , something that many times this type of forced movements leads us to be able to reach everything, which can end directly in a terminal crash.
How is this mode activated?
Well, it is very simple, because it is perfectly integrated into the new Samsung One UI . In fact, we can access it from the terminal settings easily.
- Enter your Samsung settings
- Click on advanced functions
- Now select “One hand mode”
Once inside we can activate the one-hand mode. What we really activate is that it can be accessed when it suits us, instead of always being active. At the bottom of this menu we can choose the way in which this one-handed mode is activated. We can select to do it with a gesture , which would be to slide our finger down to the bottom edge of the screen, or by pressing the start button twice . Doing so will reduce the size of the screen to be able to reach everything.
