Visually impaired individuals can switch off the screen entirely and still use the device through a setting called Dark Screen. The Galaxy S5 also comes with seven different font sizes, making it easier for users to read the font in a size that is comfortable to them. Users can also set their color preferences in the screen settings, which allows for better readability. For users with hearing disabilities, the Galaxy S5 has a Baby Crying Detector that notifies users through a series of vibrations. The service can also notify users via the Gear smartwatch.
In addition, the Galaxy S5 comes with a flash notification mode that switches on the camera flash to notify users of incoming notifications. An Auto Haptic function allows users to switch on additional feedback via vibrations for media, music and video game content. Physically challenged users can access assistive menus and gesture-based controls to navigate the device. The accessibility features can be easily enabled by pressing down on the Home button three times from any screen.
