Earlier this month, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone-tablet hybrid finally launched in the US, and most of you probably rushed to the nearest AT&T store to pick up the 5.7-inch device. It’s nice to have a nice big full 1080p HD display, but it can be a problem for those who want to use the device with one hand.
The Samsung Galaxy Note series has always pushed the limits when it comes to smartphone size. As a result, the Korean company has included many different one-handed settings to make the experience easier for those who don’t have hands as big as Lebron James. Today we’ll show you how to set the Galaxy Note 3 keyboard for one-handed use by swiping left or right for easy and fast typing and texting.
In iPhone ads, Apple points out that the device can be used with one hand, but not everyone wants a smaller 4-inch screen. Samsung’s Note series is a great solution, but if you don’t want to use both hands every time you type, we still need help with the keyboard.
Fortunately, Samsung knows that not everyone can use Galaxy Note devices with ease. As a result, we have a number of “one-handed” settings on the phone. It’s actually pretty simple, and the keyboard only takes about 30 seconds to activate for one-handed use. First you will want to tap the menu button and go to System Settings. Below are the exact steps you need to take.
Menu > System Settings > Controls Tab > One-handed operation > Samsung Keyboard (check this)
The third option in the “one-handed” settings menu, shown in the image gallery above, is the one you want, but you can enable the same type of experience enhancement for many other aspects of the large smartphone. If you love the Galaxy Note 3 but sometimes find it too big, this will definitely help you. From here, you can customize many different areas of the softkeys.
You can see the quick and simple results above. A keyboard to the right of the left. This settings menu will quickly make the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 keyboard have some left and right toggle arrows on the side. This allows you to use the keyboard on a specific side and instantly change which side. It will be useful for those who are free-handed, like me, who send messages. From here we can enjoy the same option for unlock pattern, keypad dialer and more.
It’s also worth noting that this option is available for more than the stock keyboard on the Galaxy Note 3. You can go to the Google Play Store and try SwiftKey, a popular 3rd party keyboard alternative that also allows for a similar splitting experience. keyboard in landscape mode and more.
