You can customize your alarm background and vibration intensity
Waking up to an alarm can be a less-than-pleasant experience, but there are a few ways you can offset its impact. With the rollout of its recent One UI 6.1 update, Samsung altered the Clock app to allow users to set a background, for example. While a custom wallpaper can’t completely outweigh the feeling that comes with an alarm, it can lessen its blow.

7 reasons the Samsung Galaxy S5 was great for its time
A blast from the past when 2GB of RAM was considered plenty, and heart rate monitors on phones were cutting-edge fitness tech
In the illustrious year of 2014, Samsung, the maestro of modern technology, released the Galaxy S5.

Today, voice communication is practically an afterthought when deciding on the right flagship device for you.

Let's face it: Your PC's webcam probably sucks, especially when compared to what your smartphone is capable of. That's why features that let you use your smartphone as your PC's webcam are growing in popularity.

Samsung didn't share much information about this new feature during the event, but we finally managed to dig up some key details, such as what devices it'll be available on and when it'll launch.
