Most of the applications that are pre-installed on the smartphone Samsung Z are similar, but not so refined as in the Android operating system. The contacts, messages, and other builtin applications all offer a feeling of Android. This Linux-kernel based OS also offers many mini applications, such as the camera, the calculator, and the music/video player. A user can place these pre-installed applications wherever they wish on the home page. Moreover, if you make a change to the wallpaper image, the Samsung Z automatically changes the color of the menu environment to suit the theme color.
