SAMSUNG phones have an often overlooked setting that can make your device much faster.
It’s buried in developer settings, so you may never see it unless you look for it.
The feature allows you to change animation speeds when you browse your phone.
And many Samsung fans swear by reducing it from the normal 1x speed to make the phone feel faster.
In a post on Reddit, a Samsung the owner asked: “Do most people still use 1x speed for animations instead of 0.5x? 1x is so slow that it’s driving I’m crazy.”
Another said: “Once you go past 0.5x, you can never go back to 1x. Even with my new 120Hz phone instead of my old 60Hz one, it was immediately noticeable and unbearable.”
One added: “This is one of the first things I change on a new phone or new ROM/OS.”
And another wrote: “Always on 0.5x, any phone I have 0.5x. I hate 1x. So slow.”
HOW TO CHANGE ANIMATION SPEEDS ON ANDROID PHONES
First you will need to enable developer settings on your Galaxy phone.
Go to Settings > About phone > Software information.
Then tap the version number seven times, which will activate the developer options on your phone.
Then you’ll want to go to Settings > Developer Options > Drawing and adjust the animation scales.
There should be three to choose from:
- Window animation scale
- Transition animation scale
- Animator duration scale
Try setting all of them to 0.5x from the default 1x option.
