Splay Launcher
Manage Your Phone With Single Hand Using Splay Launcher
These days Smartphones
are getting big and bigger making it difficult to run it using one hand. Every
time you need to use your second hand if you want to do any type of work with
your phone.
But don’t worry as we
are going to tell you about a launcher which will help you to manage your smartphone
single handedly or with single hand.
Splay Launcher is an
innovative app that totally changes how you handle a phone. There are plenty of
launcher apps out there that play around with the way your phone works, but few
of them go as far as Splay.
In fact this app
almost entirely abandons the traditional smartphone layout in favour of a
sci-fi style wheel that lets you a slide a thumb around to select the apps and
actions you want to initiate.
This app will not do
any magic but will give you platform which you can use to swipe around with the
same hand. All it need is getting used to, then you will see the improvement in
running your device single handedly.
Here are few features
if the app along with the Sliding wheel:
Control with thumb:
You control the
launcher by sliding a thumb around the spokes.Slide one farther down a spoke to
get more options. Once you’re familiar with how things work, navigate to the
Apps spoke, you’ll see there are some empty slots here.
App Setting:
Use edit shortcuts
spoke to get the edit screen and add seven of your most used apps to the free
spaces. Now you can get them in a few simple swipes.
On the Menu:
Navigation bar will be
up at its place from which you can access important short cuts. Also if you’re
device has short cut button than you can use them to setup Menu list.
Search:
Tapping the magnifying
glass in the bottom right of the screen open search box. Here you can look for
apps, contacts and media files on your phone, as well as quickly
searching the internet using your own web browser.
Further are many more
features which you can know only after installing and using the Splay launcher.

Top 20 Most Popular Android Smart Phones Q1 2014 – USA China & World Wide
Top 20 Most Popular Android Smart Phones Q1 2014 – USA China & World Wide
In 2014 there have been many Smart Phones launched by manufacturers and Antutu Labs which has been a great resource for checking the benchmarks of these devices through their android app has released some information on the Top 20 Smart Phones world wide and also region wise. The most interesting part of this information is that a brand like Xiaomi is on the Top of the charts being even Samsung. Samsung has a total of 7 smart phones in the top list along with 6 devices from Xiaomi followed by brands like Sony & HTC.
There are a few more infographics and charts below which show the same data but region wise and the numbers are quite unexpected. In case of China where Xioami is leading we found that it had 50% share in the list followed by Samsung Galaxy S4 while S5 is not in the list because it was launched in the month of April and these numbers are for the Quarter one ie January to March 2014.
Its a surprise that in the USA, the results are quite different because the brand Xioami is not available in US and the markets are mainly dominated with the Nexus Series of devices primarily for the Non-Contract pricing which is very low when compared to other flagship Smart Phones. Out of the 10 devices in the list, we find 4 Nexus Phones followed by the Galaxy Note series from Samsung which has a total of 5 devices in the list. Clearly in the US, Asus and Samsung are leading the charts with these numbers as shown below.
Overall we found that Samsung is leading globally while in the Chinese markets its Xiaomi which is leading the charts. We would update these numbers for the current quarter after 3 months and check out which brand is leading or dominating the markets. Do make a note that these numbers are from Antutu Benchmarks V4 and not from any market research agency.
