clearly not the focus of the Focus Flash
Only a few ports and buttons adorn the device
the Focus Flash just cannot compete
Battery life Battery life is one area where the Focus Flash really disappointed
there is no microSD card slot
no expandable memory on the Focus 2 though
activating accidentally when a thumb or hand brushes too close
the screen is slightly recessed from the sides of the phone
the vibration was still on the weak side
it does take some time to get used to the side power button
The buttons are faded to the point you can barely see them
no LED indicator on the Focus
the tiniest bit shorter and narrower than the original Focus
Only 8GB of storage without the option to expand
have the same curb appeal and falls short in comparative specs
there is no expandable storage
lens prone to scratches anytime the phone is set down on its back
WhatsApp is only available on the Web for you as long as your smartphone has battery life
it no longer wanted to continue offering the service
Samsung Week - claim a huge discount on your new Galaxy product
the individual tends to get distracted and lose focus
it does not support 5GIs Samsung Focus waterproof
Does Samsung Focus have wireless charging
Samsung Focus have fast charging
Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
No elevator was left unscathed
poor battery life is only partially true
the micro-SD slot for upgradeable memory is still not functional
you cannot listen to music when synching
a lot of Bitcoin had been stolen
the Focus Flash I had defaulted to VGA
the volume felt lower than expected
Colors looked consistently washed out

How do I fix autofocus on Samsung?
floyd_quitzon
over 1 year ago
Open the Camera app, then tap the Settings icon at the top left corner. Step 2. Tap the switch next to Tracking auto-focus to turn it off. If your camera still won't focus, resetting the camera to its default settings may also be a solution.

Which is better do not disturb or focus mode?
lucius

To sum it up, DND and Focus Mode do have a few things in common, but the latter is undoubtedly the more flexible of the two. From letting you pick and silence your apps to using your conscience against you, Focus Mode does a lot more than DND and is arguably more useful.

How do I set my Samsung Focus?
hershel_howell

Focus Mode on Samsung Galaxy Phones Scroll down and select “Digital Wellbeing and Parental Controls.” You'll notice a couple of pre-made modes in the “Focus Mode” section. You can select one to edit it or tap “Add” to start from scratch. If you're creating a new Focus Mode, give it a name and tap “Save.”

What is the function of focus mode?
garrett_nicolas
over 1 year ago
You can select apps you currently find distracting (like social media or games) and if you try to open them, Focus mode will remind you that app is paused. Focus mode will also silence those apps' notifications until you're ready to switch out of the mode.

Samsung Focus Review

The Samsung Focus. It’s a phone’s phone. That’s partly thanks to Windows Phone 7. The Microsoft operating system makes it a proper calling device first, apps secondary, and that’s refreshing compared to app-filled screens from competing phone makers. Instead, we just buy and play apps, send emails and text messages, and only on rare occasion listen to voicemail left by our mothers. Someone in Redmond must have remembered why it’s called a cellphone. Add a smart OS to brilliantly designed […]
