Samsung GT-S5330 Wave 2 Pro

Features of the Samsung GT-S5330 Wave 2 Pro:

Keyboard:

In total, the phone has 4 rows of keys with 11 buttons in the first three rows and 9 buttons in the bottom row. Total 42 keys. This is enough to localize the keyboard, in particular, the Russian version is not bad. Additional characters are highlighted in yellow, just press the Alt key once to switch the phone to a single entry of such a character. Conveniently. The arrows on the right side of the keyboard are used for navigation.

Gesture control:

Gesture control depends on which application you are in. For example, in the gallery, you can scroll through photos by tilting the phone in one direction or another. For a double pat on the body, you can assign the launch of an application or a call to a number.
Etiquette — when making a call, an alarm clock or an event from the calendar, it is enough to turn the phone over and the sound will be muted; the profile does not change.
Hands-free mode can be set so that during a call, placing it on the table activates the hands-free mode.

Menu and interface:

Unlocking the screen is simple — just slide the screen field to the side. In idle mode, you see a desktop with widgets. By adding new widgets, Samsung Wave 2 Pro automatically expands the number of tables (up to 10 maximum). As with desktops, you can add up to 10 menu pages. Adding custom icons and links is not supported. All icons, except for the Menu, can be arranged as you like.

Responsive menu — forms a menu depending on how often this or that application is used. Thus, on the first screen there are those applications that you call most often. The feature is disabled by default.
