Samsung has equipped these devices which know as S-Voice, a rival feature that stand against Apple’s Siri,Cortana and Google Voice.

Disable all the apps which you think as trash in your mobile. And in case you’d like to use them in future, can you can easily enable them again and start using them.

4. Use other Launcher and Apps

In Samsung users, one thing is very common that most of them switch to other launcher as Samsung’s own launcher offers very low amount of features and options to customize and personalize the device. It comes with TouchWiz user interface, quite boring and lacks customization features.

To make your device look more premium and personalized, we recommend to use other launcher applications and Nova Launcher is my favorite one.

With lots of customization features, it offers better performance and readability too. You can download the Nova Launcher from Google Playstore from below link:
