3 Amazing Reasons Why Samsung's Android Is Better Than Google's

Quick glance

If the phone is kept idle on a table and if you want to check whether you got a message or mail, the Quick Glance feature is activated by simply reaching for your phone. It senses your hand hovering over the phone and displays a special lock screen that shows any new activity that has occurred while the display was turned off. Remove your hand and the display goes to sleep. This happens without even touching the phone.

Double tap to zoom to top of list

If you've scrolled down a long list and want to quickly get back to the top, simply double tap the top of the phone and it jumps back to the top. This is app independent and eliminates the need to find a small scrolling control.

Don't forget your pen

Samsung alerts you when you leave the phone without putting the pen back in the storage silo on the device.
