Getting to know your phone
Screen control
You can control your phone through a series of operations on the screen.
- Touch: You can touch the items on the screen to select, to open the applications or to use the
keyboard to input characters.
- Swipe or slide: Quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when
you first touch (so you don't drag something instead).
- Touch & hold: You can touch & hold some items to get the item’s available menu.
- Drag: You can drag some items on the screen to realize some operations.
- Switch between landscape mode and portrait mode: You can switch to the landscape mode by
rotating your phone. The landscape mode is only valid under some interfaces, such as the text
input interface, the message viewing interface, etc.
- Pinch: In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can zoom in and out by placing
two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading them
apart (to zoom in).
