Galaxy Note 20: what Dolby Atmos setting is best? How to set up equalizer?
4 monthes ago - By Phone Arena
Samsung's flagships have had stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos enhancement for the past few years, and the Note 20 line is no exception. Both the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra have a Dolby Atmos option with a few different modes, as well as their own EQ buried deep in settings. You may have found them, and probably wondered to yourself - well, which one is best?

Big smartphones are great, right? You have that huge screen to watch movies, YouTube clips, play games, or even split two apps and still get a good amount of real estate to work with. But you know what's not great about them? Yeah you do - trying to use them with one hand.
's 6.7” and 6.9” are great and all but require some serious thumb gymnastics if one of your hands happens to be busy. But hey, Samsung actually included a one-hand mode in their software suite - as it usually does.
It basically shrinks your active display area to the left or the right of the phone's screen, making ...
