Once you are comfortable with your foldable phone, advanced techniques can further optimize your experience. This guide covers pro-level tips and tricks.

Using Good Lock for Advanced Customization

Samsung’s Good Lock app offers extensive customization for Galaxy foldables. MultiStar module enables app pairs, taskbar customization, and flexible panel configurations. Home Up module allows customizing the home screen grid and animations. One Hand Operation+ module adds customizable swipe gestures for easier one-handed use on the large display.

These tools transform the foldable experience from good to exceptional through deep personalization.

DeX Mode for Desktop Experience

Samsung DeX transforms your foldable into a desktop computer when connected to an external monitor. The large 7.6-inch display serves as an excellent trackpad while DeX runs on the monitor. This replaces the need for a separate laptop for light productivity tasks. Wireless DeX works with compatible smart TVs and monitors.

Advanced Camera Techniques

The foldable form factor enables unique photography techniques. Use the cover screen as a viewfinder so your subject can see themselves before you capture the shot. Set the phone on a surface in Flex Mode for stable long-exposure shots without a tripod. Use the rear camera for selfies by framing through the cover screen, getting much higher quality than the front-facing camera.

Developer Options for Display Performance

For advanced users, enabling developer options provides additional display controls. You can force 120Hz refresh rate on all apps (may increase battery drain), override minimum screen width for more content density, and enable GPU profiling to monitor display performance. These settings give you fine control over the visual experience.

Optimizing Battery Life

The large display of foldables can drain battery quickly. Advanced battery optimization includes setting per-app power saving based on usage patterns, using Bixby Routines to automatically switch to power saving mode when folded, and disabling 5G in areas with weak coverage to prevent the modem from consuming extra power searching for signal.

Summary

Advanced techniques like Good Lock customization, DeX desktop mode, and developer options unlock the full potential of foldable smartphones. Experiment with these features to tailor your device to your exact preferences.
