A simplified button sequence ensures that greater ease and control is under your thumbs at all times. On the screen, there will be only 5 buttons - 3 on the left, and 2 on the right. The secret of the conciseness is in the advanced multi-purpose of the gear (settings) button. Now, when tapping a single button, you will reveal 14 different options that expand horizontally and vertically. Related options are intuitively located beneath the corresponding icons. Let's begin with the main - Settings button - which reveals many hidden options:
