One of the beauties of owning a Samsung Galaxy smartphone is the fact that you get access to the One UI by Samsung. One UI gives you access to loads of customizations. You can customize the home screen widgets, icon themes, and wallpaper or lock screen images on Samsung. Also, in customizing your devices’ feel, loads of color themes are available to you.
The first step in customizing your Samsung Galaxy smartphone is to choose what you want your home screen to look like (Setting up your wallpaper, etc.). Your Galaxy smartphone allows you to set a wallpaper in a couple of different ways. You can choose from wallpapers that are made available by Samsung or upload them from a different source.
Customizing your home screen is simple, you can either do it directly from the home screen or you can do it from the settings menu while browsing your photos gallery. We will show you how to do all of these, in this article.
How to Customize the Home Screen on your Samsung Smartphone
