It is kind of weird that Google has left some of the Pixel’s best features disabled by default. One of the most interesting software features that fall in this class is the gesture that puts the fingerprint scanner after you have unlocked your smartphone.This gesture is referred to ‘Swipe for notifications’ and it performs as expected. When the screen is on, just swipe down the scanner and you will see your notifications and then swipe down again to open the Quick Settings panel. This is an awesome feature that should be activated already. Here is how to enable it.
What's my model number?
There are several ways to locate your model number:
- Option 1
- On your device, go to Settings, then "About device" and scroll down to "Model number"
- Option 2
- Often times you can view the model number inside the device, by removing the battery
- Option 3
- Using Samsung's model/serial number location tool
