hey everyone ricky here from Ricky's tech talk in today's video, i want to go through all the
accessibility settings and features you can change on your Samsung galaxy z flip 3 5g so I really
like this device, it's a small compact lightweight and you can fold it up and put it in your pockets
really like the notification section you have here on the front display more about that though
in my review today we're going to go through the accessibility settings and options you can
change to adjust to make this device your own for anyone that doesn't know or hasn't watched
one of my accessibility videos in the past I'm actually registered blind so I have tunnel vision
and I have no sight out of my left eye whatsoever so for these videos, I really think it's important
to show our devices and show which devices do well which don't do so well and which devices need to
have an improvement if a device needs to have an improvement that's okay I'll give my feedback
and hopefully in either a software update or a new the device they will update their features I've looked
at loads of different devices and today is no different we're taking a look at a device that's
intuitive a device that's very innovative and very new and that's Samsung galaxy z flip 3 5g so
to begin with, during the setup phase you will have an option to go through accessibility settings and
Samsung have a huge tick here so one of the best manufacturers to offer a wide range of settings
right at the beginning of your setup process not just a couple of options to choose from but you
near enough have every option available to you which I really really like huge tick huge thumbs
up give this video a thumbs up for that so once your device is set up this is where then you can
change and adjust your device even more so the first option is something called talkback which
will narrate everything back to you no matter where you are on your smartphone so this may be
either reading a text message reading an article online or even going through the latest news on
your google feed so to turn talk back on and this is a shortcut it should automatically be turned on
for you pressing and holding the two-volume keys so looking down the right-hand side your two
volume keys stick out slightly more than your power button your power button is flush to the
bezel here there is a slight tactile difference no color difference but there is a tactile difference
so pressing holding both these together talk back on welcome to talk back page
one of five talk one UI home weather in the pager so first of all it told us our weather widget
here in the middle but now i can tap each app and it tells me what it is and then if i leave
it on the final one down here at the bottom it'll give me further options i can choose
galaxy store gallery play store what google folder dub phone out of pager messages three
notifications camera double-tap to activate double tap and hold to long-press actions
available use tab with three fingers to view there we go so it told us what we needed to do
so moving with navigation now use two fingers and you move around home screen page two of two
The home screen page is one of two default pages so we'll go to the other side google button bridesmaids
quit wedding after button mark Liverpool echo button the card butter button dot
one UI home camera out of the list so as you saw there using two fingers swipe
left swipe right up and down you get the pitch of moving up and down as well and you can scroll
through and it would have read everything from my google feed there if i allowed it
to so that's talkback and now it's time to jump into the settings and go through the accessibility
the section in settings so I'm just going to turn off talkback so talkback has now gone off that's great
there so i could ask google to take us there launch accessibility settings opening talkback
so we're into our accessibility settings here so if you go into settings scroll all the way down
you have accessibility so you've got recommended for you, this will give you some recommendations so
one of them is to turn on dark mode so i could enable that now and we could turn on dark mode but I'll
show you that next time but it will get to know what settings you use on other devices and it will
get to know what accessibility settings you use most of the time so that's recommended for you we
have talkback so talkback is the one that I have just gone through and the shortcut was preset here
again we can turn this on or off if we want to we've got settings you've got a range of different
options inside here again to make this your own and you can make talkback your own as well but
that's talkback a great feature and something good to use our next section is visibility enhancement
so they break it down into sections here being registered blind this is a really important one
to myself so at the top, you've got a high contrast theme and you can choose which theme best works
for you so at the moment I've got none you've got yellow or blue and you can choose which one best
works for you you've got a high contrast fonts as well again you can select which one works for
you so you can either toggle these on or actually tap the name of the section and it will take you
into the settings as well you've got high contrast keyboard Samsung are one of the front runners here
on keyboards so if i just toggle this on here you can see what the keyboard looks like and
with the flip you can sort of bend this down you can have this sat on the desk and still type away
which is really nice and i think Samsung are really leading the way here making it easy to
use no matter your choice so let's turn that off and it's going to go to the default but i like
that option there you have highlighted buttons again and it will highlight the buttons for you
that one doesn't have any section underneath that we have colour in version so inversion is slightly
different to dark theme so if i turn this on now go home the colors are all inverted let
me just remind you what it looked like when it was toggled off go home this is what it looked
like it actually inverts the colours whereas dark mode just changed it dark in the menus in other
parts of the settings which is okay to use but i like colour inversion sometimes when it's helpful
for reading things you have colour adjustments this is where you can adjust the hues and the tones of
your display and you can change the intensity as well and you can choose which one works for you
we've got grayscale prism and you've got tian so i can choose this one and change
which one works for me and once toggled on let's there we go now you can see
i can choose different ones here it best chooses the one for me it's all up to you which ones you
want to have you then have the option to add a color filter so i'm just going to turn this on
and you can see what color filter looks like and someone that's visually impaired will use
these different colour filters because it helps them with their eyesight condition and it really
depends on how much and again we've got opacity here and you can choose which one works best for you
again go in here have an explore find out which one is the right one for you underneath that
you can remove animations if you don't like the animations you can remove the animations we've
got magnification window here so you can turn on and have a magnification window this will give you
a fourth icon an accessibility figure down here tapping this will launch your magnification window
for you tap again we can resize lock or dismiss and again you've got the zoom level here as well
so if i change this up here went inside here you could see it's far more zoomed-in use two fingers
to carry this around and you can even pinch in at the same time with the samsung galaxy zed flip 3
5g the display is amazing and it really helps when it comes to reading that text is pinpoint sharp
so let's just turn that off and i'm just going to dismiss that there so that's magnification window
underneath that there is another option which is magnification to turn this on we're going to use
the accessibility figure down here at the bottom and you highlight your display for you and you tap
where you want to use two fingers to pinch in and out to make it really easy for you it says here
the shortcuts and then tap anywhere normally you attach three times on the display and you zoom in
i don't think they want you to do that because of the display, they don't want you to damage it
which is understandable underneath here we've got the option to use a large mouse pointer or
touchpad so you can choose if you want to use that so underneath that you've got font size and style
just tap into here we can change the different styles as well and you can also change the
size and it has a preset as you can see and it automatically changes for you and you can have
bold text which i highly recommend really like the bold text option so let's just scroll down
and then finally you've got screen zoom this will actually, make your display bigger when it comes
into text messages going on the internet social media applications everything like that you'll
notice a real difference that's the visibility enhancements that's just one section there so
moving into hearing enhancements now so you've got hearing aid support again another manufacturer
that's really thinking about the future here a lot of us will need hearing aids in the future
and a lot of us will need to wear glasses hearing aid support is fantastic to have and you can use
that with your smartphone tap on here and you can set up with Bluetooth pairing coming back we've
got amplify ambient sounds and you can amplify different sounds baby crying doorbell and you
can get amplified sounds coming through and again you'd need headphones in for that one you've got
adapt sound so you can change and adjust the sound and choose what you want to use this for again
really high level of options inside here one of the best I've seen on the market for 2021
apart from the iPhone they're both on par with each other and i wouldn't like to choose so i
say what do you prefer android or ios then if you say which one you prefer i would say iPhone 13 or
the Samsung galaxy s21 ultra or the fold series or flip series left or right sound balance next and
you can choose which one you want if you want it in the middle just leave it in the middle you have
mono audio for the option of mono audio and you have neutral sounds if you don't have any hearing
at all you could mute all sounds or if you want to have a quiet day you can mute all sounds anyway
you've got live transcribe really like this one this is a new one here so if you have a thought
you can get a live transcribe so toggle one we have to allow hello i'm ricky here from
Ricky's tech talk in today's video i will be talking about the Samsung galaxy z flip 3 5g
it doesn't get it all right but it will try its best and it's really good when you have multiple
people talking as well it will keep up with you great that will save that as well for you
and you can use that in text messages you can also use it in other features and other settings which
is really handy really like that option there quite new as well as live captions you get life
captions now when you're moving throughout your the device you can select your language you can you
can hide it if you want to you've got the life captions you've still got the caption calls as
well the options are there and you can change the the way they look really nice options to see the
captions here you've got google subtitles again you can change the way they look and the options
here so if i toggle this on and then you've got more options you've got your style options here
you've got further options inside here and i do like with any Samsung because of the one ui you
can pull down so it is easy to use with one hand that's why you might see it come down a little bit
and again i could pull down here at the here and swipe up to get to where i want to that's really
nice option there so i'm just going to turn that off and you've got sound notifications inside here
so you can have notifications come up if you want to with sound so that's the hearing enhancements
you have interaction and dexterity now so options inside here again for people so you have universal
switch so this is where you can use switches to control your device and i really like this option
so this allows you to use your smartphone if you're unable to with your hands but you can
use a switch or control device and you can go through the setup phase here and set everything
up really amazing to see that option there you have an assistant menu here so you can toggle this on
just toggle this on and again you have different options inside here to change and adjust what you
need to change and move around and again that will give you a little icon that you can change
and add options in where you need to underneath that we've got answering and ending calls you
can choose which options you want and as you can see here there's such an array of options it's
just unbelievable and i really do think that Samsung are just heading in the front runners
now to be one of the best accessible devices out there and it purely comes down to what you prefer
ios or android then you've got interaction control with your smartphone and again you can go inside
here and choose you can block off a window uh if you don't want anyone to go and use your device
so if you're handing it to a child good option there touch and hold delay if you need a delay
tap duration as well and the ignore repeat touches is a really good option here so if I'm tapping
down here but actually didn't mean to the device would start to learn what I want to do you've got
auto click after pointer stops that's if you chose to use a large mouse pointer or touchpad with your
the smartphone you've got sticky keys slow keys and bounce keys as well there to use if you want to
and again you can go inside here and change those options so those are the different sections then
we move on to advanced settings you've got your accessibility button which you can preset and have
on permanently i don't think we've got anything on that at the moment but i could put something
on here magnification and it would be permanently there for me which is a really nice side and volume
up key, we preset to something you've got volume up and down keys which is set to talk back
flash notifications can use the led flash on your camera if you need to know something while
you receive notifications time to take action i really like this so it's set to default at the
moment but say i got a notification from Gmail or from Facebook or from Instagram or even if one of
you was leaving me a comment on this video i could have 10 seconds to see that notification and take
action on it whereas it pops down pops up goes away default you could actually take action and
take the time to take that action really like that option it's quite a new option as well
so you can speak keyboard input aloud if you want to a bit like the voice transcribe option
there you can have that one underneath that you've got Bixby vision for accessibility is really
good and it can do a range of different options i would like to share a detailed video on this
so watch out for that and you've got voice labels as well so that's what's in the advanced section
you've got install services so it lets you know what's actually installed on here as well
and then finally down here at the bottom is a great option that i can't believe they've
added in but it is just so helpful so you've got about accessibility so this will give you all
the information i actually need to do an update so we can do an update here i'll do that in a bit
and also they've got contact us so you can contact them for help so launch you into Samsung's
helpline and help centre where the community can help you but also you can contact someone and get
some help really like that option there why hasn't anyone else thought of that before so back into
settings let's go up to display now inside display we can choose to have the light or dark side so if
i just show you what the dark side looks like it is exactly the same colour hue system that you had
whereas the color inversion changed it completely so let's go back go back to the light side just
while we do this you've got dark mode settings as well so you can turn on on a schedule and
you can set this at a certain time brightness really bright displays as always from Samsung
really really bright just recommend you choose the best one for you you've got motion smoothness so
really high refresh rate on these devices here and it shows you the standard and it shows you
the advanced options here i've just kept it as advanced you may need to come and change this
at the beginning but that's fine i comfort shield which is really helpful toggle this on brings the
light down takes away that harsh blue light makes it really easy to read emails or read for a long
period of time take it off you can see that harsh blue light comes back and can actually sort of
damage your eyes over long periods of time looking at your display then you've got screen mode here
so mine is set to vivid or neutral and as you know Samsung always have a very bright display when
it comes to photography as well you can make it warmer or cooler up to you there it's really nice
to have those options then we have this font size and style again you've got screen zoom again that
we've had full-screen application so it'll be all of your display used the screen timeouts easy mode
the really nice option here for easy mode and then it has an edge panel here which is just at the side
you've got your edge panel bit like what we had on the note series before and the other devices you
can jump into things there um not really too much else to say about really there always-on display
is helpful let's go back home to wrap up this video and for me it's really impressive to see
the level of detail Samsung still continue to put in to their devices being registered blind, i think
it's really important to have these settings on here because i want to use the latest device and
it doesn't matter about my ability i will find a way of using it but i need the manufacturers
and the producers of smartphones and tablets to put these settings on here most of them do
come and owned by google so they do have to have google but Samsung seems to put a lot extra on top
so if you're a scone fan you have your bass which is your smartphone you have a good layer of cream
which is google adding in the settings and then on top, you're smothered in a jam because
Samsung have added their own amount of settings on top and then you have a top layer where you
can just flip the phone over close it you've got a beautiful scone that's my analogy for today and
i think it's really important that samsung keep on their good work here the fingerprint sensor seems
to work really good as well i just want to say that works nicely there is a tactile difference
between the buttons there's a shame there's no colour difference however very impressed if you
are left with any questions or queries though please leave the comments below underneath
that like button it would be great if you give this video a like and i will be more than happy
to help me ricky thank you for watching have a great weekend if you're watching on the weekend if
you're working throughout the week stay safe stay well and I'll see you in my next video bye for now
