Last year, we ran a weekly segment where we featured some of our reader’s home screen setups — but most of us have never shown off ours. Up until now, that is. Since pretty much the entire SamMobile team decided to upgrade to either the or , we thought we’d show you our home screens.
Abhijeet Mishra
I’m not really into home screen customization anymore, but I have all my frequently used apps arranged in folders on the primary home screen. Everything else that I need is accessed from the app drawer.
I only use a single home screen, and I keep exporting the same setup to every new phone that I use. Samsung’s on the Galaxy S8 are great (that, and I’m more about functionality than looks), so I’m using one of the default wallpapers.
Adnan Farooqui
I like to keep the homescreen of my smartphone clean, so I don’t clutter it with a lot of widgets or apps. The reason behind this is that I want quick access to the apps that I use frequently. I don’t want to keep swiping through homescreens every time I have to find an app.
The main homescreen on my Galaxy S8+ is left unchanged so it’s exactly the way it was when I took the phone out of the box. One swipe to the left and I have all of the apps I use frequently laid out neatly. If I need to use an app that doesn’t get a coveted homescreen spot on my device, I just open the app drawer.
Asif Iqbal Shaik
I am using the Coral Blue variant of the Galaxy S8+, and I’ve decorated the the homescreen of my phone with Samsung’s apps and widgets that I use the most. I am using the default theme and Infinity Wallpaper pack. I have just two homescreens as I prefer to keep it simple.
I am a sucker for well-designed icons and apps, and I liked Samsung’s new iconography for TouchWiz. So, all the apps that I have placed on the homescreen are from Samsung as I didn’t want to ruin it my mixing them with other third-party apps. Instead, I’ve placed all the third-party apps on the edge panel, so I can access them from anywhere. I am also using the music player widget from Samsung and a dual-clock widget shows me New York’s and Amsterdam’s time, which is important to my work at SamMobile.

I keep it clean because I like to see my wallpaper not blocked by icons or widgets.
Josh Levenson
I decided to keep my home screen relatively clean. I’m a big fan of the default weather and search widgets, so I left them on the first page. On the second page, you’ll find four of my most-used applications. If I need anything else, I’ll open it using the app drawer.
Martin Reinders
Over time, I’ve become less interested in changing my home screen. I simply bundle all of the applications I use on a daily basis into a folder in my navigation bar. I also changed the hideous icons to the stock Android ones.
