One of Samsung's newest applications, SoundAssistant, which allows users to customize the sound settings of their Galaxy devices, was developed by the Samsung Institute for Information Technology Development (SIDI), located in Campinas, Brazil.
Already available for download in the Play store, SoundAssistant offers the user a high range of control over the sound on their handsets. One of the most notable features is the ability to control the volume of different media while using the smartphone, helping those who, for example, want to listen to their favourite music without the interruption of the ring tone.
SoundAssistant also has a function called "Scenarios", a kind of profile manager. The consumer can automatically adjust the phone's sound settings depending on the time of day - a stronger sound in the morning and a lighter tone in the afternoon, for example.
