The first thing in Samsung Galaxy A20 is simulating the notch cutouts. So what you’re going to want to go ahead and do is go to the settings. You’re gonna next want to scroll down to About phone. Click on a bow phone. Once you’re here, you’re gonna want to go and click on software information.
Once you’re here gonna click on the build number multiple times. And you’re gonna put in your password. Once your password is enabled. It says developer mode has been turned on and if you back out of all your information so you should scroll up. And see the developer options right there. Now you guys have finally unlocked the potential of this device.
So let’s go and click on developer options. Go ahead and click on the search bar and the first thing you want to go ahead and type in is not once you type in the notch.

Now we can put a corner cutout on this device. Let’s go and put that on there and basically what happens is we get a corner notch on the right side of the device.
But my favorite thing to do with the simulated display cutout is the tall cutout. So a lot of people don’t like this little thin cutout honestly. I feel like most people do but some people want something a little more different. Maybe you want to be unique or whatever but we have the tall cutout right there. Now the tall cutout looks a little more unique and honestly in my opinion it looks pretty cool.
How To Speed Up Your Device
If you guys want to be a little different for whatever reason, yes can go ahead and do that next thing in Samsung galaxy a20 is I’m gonna show you “ How to speed up your device”. So basically go to developer options. So it’s the first step in getting the developer options. Go to window animation scale. Put it to 0.5 transition animation scale put it to 0.5 and animator duration scale.
And put that to 0.5 and you guys are going to tell right away that your device did get much quicker as you guys can see soup super-quick. So your animation isn’t going to be as long as it usually is it’s going to open applications and half the time so 0.5 equals half the time 1 x equals. For the regular duration, you can make it longer if you guys would like to. And if you really wanna you can go ahead and turn all the animations off and this is how you make your phone super fast.
Drop Down Bar Menu
The next thing in the Samsung galaxy a20 I’m going to show you is very very basic. Now, this isn’t the “drop-down bar menu” but I honestly love this mode. I know a lot of people love the dark modes. You know especially on Twitter YouTube and all these other social media applications. But usually, there is no dark mode on a phone unless you guys want to go ahead.
And download the launcher. So let’s go ahead and take the drop-down bar and go to the right. And as you guys see we have night mode right here. Go ahead and turn that on and it makes everything darker. As you guys can see the whole layout is darker that little google thing is darker your applications are gonna be darker. You know if you go into the settings that are going to be dark mode as well.

Secret Feature If The Samsung Galaxy A20

Latest Feature Of The Samsung Galaxy A20
Now the next and probably my favorite feature of the Samsung galaxy A20 is very secret. A lot of people don’t know about this. I even talked to a few friends who have this device. If they do not know about this go into settings and this is going to be the zoom in and out with the volume key.
So what you gonna want to do is scroll down and go to shooting methods. And we’re gonna have this little thing up here that says press volume key – and we have three different things we can do so it says system volume. So you can set the system volume. You can take a picture and record a video just like we have on Instagram and Snapchat for a story feature.
But my favorite thing to do with this is zoom. So as you guys know a lot of these newer phones. Don’t utilize the volume key to zoom but if you guys want use your phone as a digital camera. And you guys don’t care about holding this – you know take a photo or take a video and then we can use this to zoom which I thought was cool.
Because I kind of feel a little nostalgic using this like you guys can see we’re going and pressing down to zoom out and zoom back in but it’s kind of nostalgic honestly on my I had an old Samsung phone that did this. And it’s cool if you guys want to go ahead. And use analog buttons instead of virtual buttons. So I thought that was pretty cool. I love this feature in the Samsung galaxy a20 because is awesome.
Now the next feature I’m going to be showing you it’s just for aesthetics. This is also the best thing in Samsung galaxy a20. So if you guys want your phone to look cool while it’s off a while it’s charging. This is what you want to do go ahead and go to your settings. We’re gonna go ahead and type in a screen saver.
So once we type in screen saver we’re gonna go ahead and click on that so now we get a little description with screen saver. It says to show a screen saver after the screen turns off automatically while your phone is charging. So what you’re gonna want to go and do is go ahead.
And turn that on and you guys can change this. If you’d like you can change the photo table, photo frame, or different photos that are actually in your gallery. Maybe you have your family. You know your kids and maybe your girlfriend or a wife go ahead and put that in there and they can be your screen saver while your phone is charging now.
Just, for example, I’m going to have this on colors. And I’m gonna show you how this works so go ahead and plug in your charger like you usually do I’m gonna go ahead and plug that in and your phone’s gonna turn on we’re gonna go and wait for this to turn off.
But your screen saver should start once the phone is asleep alright guys. The phone has turned off and as you guys see we do have colors as a screen saver. But you guys can do many other things such as photos and slideshows and stuff. So I thought this was a pretty cool next thing.
Change Your Keyboard
I’m gonna be showing you how to change your keyboard. So we’re gonna want to go in settings and we’re gonna want to go to search. We’re going to type in high contrast keyboard. So as you guys see right here we have high contrast keyboard go ahead and click on that now.
There are many different things you can do. But honestly, I do like this feature because it just changes a lot about the keyboard and you won’t get bored of the keyboard so go ahead and turn this on go ahead and click right here and you guys can change the color of the keyboards. So right here we have yellow we have black one black two and we have blue now.
I don’t know if Samsung’s going to update this with more keyboards later I’m sure they will and another patch but you guys can go ahead and change the colors and the contrast of the keyboard. So if you guys can’t see too well. This is something to use because it defines the letters and the color is more in you can see the letters and numbers more easily.
High Contrast Keyboard And Its Magnifier Window
The next thing is right under the high-contrast keyboard and its magnifier window. So this is for the heart of seeing. It says magnifying content that’s shown on the screen. You’re gonna go ahead and turn that on and as you guys see when we go over here you can zoom in on stuff that you can’t read so if you can’t read stuff. You can use this as a magnifying glass a virtual magnifying glass which I thought was cool.
You’re gonna go ahead and use two fingers to use this and yeah it just works very very well. So if you guys want to go ahead and use this maybe on an article or you guys are hard of seeing a great thing to do. And if you just want to go and lock that you can go ahead and do that as well. If you want to make it smaller you can do that medium and full screen and if you guys don’t want to use it anymore guys click on that click X. So very very useful feature.
Finger Sensor Gestures In Samsung Galaxy A20
The last feature I’m going to be talking about is finger sensor gestures. So we’re gonna go into settings again. I know a lot of these features are in the settings. But we’re gonna type in finger sensor gestures. So we typed in finger sensor we’re gonna go ahead and click on that so once we’re here we’re gonna go ahead and click on finger sensor gestures.
Now as you guys see we have a little description it says open and close the notification panel using the finger sensor gesture. Go ahead and turn that on.
Now if we go ahead and use the fingerprint sensor we can use the notification panel by sliding it down like that which I thought was cool so let’s go and test this out swipe back up swipe it down very very simple.
