What you can do

Search on your side

Search is a circle on your thumb's side. Tap anywhere in that corner to find apps, contacts, settings, files from folders you add, and the web. Type a sum and a calculator slides up.

Folders that fan out

Tap a folder and its first apps fan out under your thumb. Hold an app in an open folder to change the order. Tap All apps to tuck your folders away.

Pages under your thumb

Swipe or slide along the search button to move between apps, recents, music, notifications, Scratch Board, Quick Settings, widgets, and more. Hold the search button for pages, wallpaper and settings.

Notifications on home

Tidy, optionally frosted cards grouped by app. Hold a notification's picture to pin that app to the top.

Made for foldables

Link two pages to open side by side when your phone is unfolded, and see three pages at once in the page overview. Folded, every page fits the cover screen.

Wallpapers & Styles

Catalog photos, daily Bing photos, your own images, day/night packs, icon packs, Blush Bloom flower icons, and one-tap Styles that apply wallpaper, theme, font, and icons together.
