How to shrink the Galaxy Note 3's

Can't reach along the Galaxy Note 3's enormous screen? Samsung's got a software trick to be of assistance

Organic beef are now living in a whole lot of 6.three to six.4-inch smartphones, however the Samsung Galaxy Note 3's 5.vii-incher is pretty big. And having around it using only your thumb is usually a challenge. Samsung has always offered "one particular-handed mode" software tricks on the Note series — for instance, enabling you to shrink and rearrange laptop keyboards, dialer, along with other areas for easier thumbing.

On the Galaxy Note 3, though, it's considered this a great all-new level. The modern "Use for those screens" option, found under "Settings  Settings  One-handed operation," lets you shrink your entire display right moveable, resizable window a small fraction of the screen's true size. Crazy!

Once enabled, you can activate this "windowed" mode by swiping within the arrow shape in the edge of the screen. Most apps work all right on this shrunken-down view, though some, including the camera, bump you returning to fullscreen mode. The window snaps in whichever side you execute the gesture, and you'll move it around and resize if you wish.

As it sounds ridiculous, there's a crazy logic to Samsung's approach here. The actual gesture is easy to execute, helping you to snap inside and out of the shrunken view pretty quickly. Take a closer look in the video above; we've also got the actual gesture in animated GIF form to suit your needs underneath.
