Samsung always gives its best to create the smartphones that will deliver an outstanding experience to the owners, and the company certainly didn’t disappoint the fans with Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Each time the new model is released, we are pretty excited because we want to know what is new, and we want to know if the new device includes some of the features we loved to use on the previous models. When the feature is good, you can rest assured it will be available on a new model.
That was the case with “Gesture Wake Up”. This handy option is available not only on Samsung Galaxy S6 but also on Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Samsung Galaxy 5. On Note 4 and Galaxy 5 it has a different name – Air Wake Up. So, what is Gesture Wake up? This feature allows us to wake up our Galaxy S6 device without pressing the Home button. The only thing you need to do to wake up your phone is to move your hand over the sensor. Awesome!
