This feature of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is a real gem I have to say, it’s one of those features that you just have to admire for the technical aspects behind it. Smart Gestures, to simply put it, will learn about you and how your handle your phone, making everyday use so easy and hassle free.
These are the various options you can look at setting up:
