Widget army

Compared to the 2.8” display, the QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) resolution might even seem small, but anti-aliasing works so good that you won’t even observe that. There are no problems with brightness either, while the white background of the menu further increases comfort, at last we’re not forced to see the dark, gloomy colors of F490. We can work with joyful, colorful icons; there can be no complaints about the graphics.

The Croix system is history, here’s the new one, that’s built on widgets, it’s called TouchWiz. And what the hell is that? – many have asked this, and that’s when I enthusiastically started demonstrating the feature that makes F480 conquer anyone. On the main screen we can pull a bar from the side, which has several icons on it, for different features. One just takes a feature and pulls it with a finger on the wallpaper, wherever he needs it and that stays there. If we’re very zealous then we can cram a whole bunch of stuff on the display, which will continuously be in front of the wallpaper.

Not all features fit on this sidebar, so we have to stroke it up- or downwards in order to make other widgets appear, but let’s take a look at them one by one. We can use classical features like the calendar, the network name, the list of missed events (this pops up by itself if something happens, but after that we can put it aside), digital and analog clock, or a simple date display. But we can also put on the wallpaper such things like a wallpaper chooser, profile changer, games or the list of birthdays. The window of the FM radio or the music player can also be displayed, but the best is that these also work after being put on the main screen, so when we tap them they can take us to the given menu, or they get displayed on top of the wallpaper and we can work with them instantly. We have a great video about this right here:

As for me I have also changed profiles by pulling the specific widget from the sidebar, set the profile I wanted to and then pushed the window back, as it took up too much space. But we can also control the music player with the buttons on the widget, the wallpaper can also be changed without entering the menu, so we can say that there are lots of positive and rational aspects of this whole widget story.
