Predictive text

Both Swype and Android keyboard provide predictive text input for the browser. As
you tap the letters of a word, a selection of words are displayed above the keyboard
that continue the sequence of letters tapped, or are a close match allowing for
errors. The word list changes after every key press. If the word you need is
displayed, you can tap on it to insert it into your text.

The Home screen

After rebooting, your smartphone will display the home screen. This screen gives
you quick access to information and simple controls with widgets or shortcuts. These
display information such as the time and weather, or provide additional controls and
direct access to applications and other frequently used features of your smartphone.
