Tip: make a Samsung Galaxy phone faster by disabling its S Voice shortcut

At this point in time, it has become nearly impossible to think of Samsung without its Galaxy smartphones coming to mind. And that's hardly a surprise – Galaxy handsets are hugely popular and come in dozens of different models, including best-sellers like the Galaxy S5 or the Galaxy Note 4. Alas, perfect they're not. As most other gadgets, Galaxy smartphones have their flaws, and one of them is the UI, which can get choppy or unresponsive at times even on high-end handsets. Thankfully, there are steps one can take towards increasing the performance of their Samsung Galaxy smartphone, and one of them is to tinker with S Voice's settings.

S Voice, for those of you who don't remember, is a virtual assistant, which Samsung built as a response to Apple's Siri. For the past two and a half years, it has been one of the many pre-loaded bells and whistles on Samsung's top Galaxy smartphones, accessible at any time with a double-press on the device's home button.
