Nice! Customizing your Samsung phone settings can seriously level up your experience. Here are 10 smart setting changes you might’ve made (or should consider) to instantly improve performance, battery life, and usability:

---

1. Navigation Gestures Over Buttons

Switch to full-screen gestures for a cleaner look and more screen space.

Settings > Display > Navigation bar


---


2. Disable Bloatware & Unused Apps


Free up RAM and battery by disabling or uninstalling Samsung preloaded apps.
Settings > Apps > [Select App] > Disable


---


3. Enable “Enhanced Processing” (for power users)


Boost performance for gaming or multitasking.
Settings > Battery and Device Care > Battery > More Battery Settings


---


4. Turn Off Samsung Ads & Promotions


Disable “Marketing Info” and promotional notifications.
Settings > Privacy > Customization Service > Disable


---


5. Customize Quick Settings Panel


Swipe down twice and tap the three dots to edit – put your most-used toggles up front.

6. Edge Panels for Multitasking


Enable edge panels for fast access to apps, contacts, or tools.
Settings > Display > Edge Panels


---


7. Turn Off Animations for Speed


Reduce animations to make the phone feel faster.
Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number 7x (to unlock Developer Options) > Developer Options > Window/Transition/Animator scale = 0.5x


---


8. Use Good Lock Modules


Install Samsung’s Good Lock app to unlock powerful customization tools like One Hand Operation+ or Home Up.

9. Change Default App Launchers


Prefer a minimalist or different home layout? Try Nova Launcher or Niagara.

10. Bixby Button Remapping / Disable


If your device has a Bixby button you don’t use—disable or remap it.
Settings > Advanced Features > Side Key


---

A few other things I do on my Galaxy phones include changing the keyboard to Google Keyboard and sorting the home drawer icons in alphabetical order so it is easier to navigate. Samsung phones are some of the best on the market. While they do not promise over-the-top features, they are reliable and offer the most polished user interface with One UI. Just adjust these few settings, and you are all set. Enjoy your new Galaxy phone
