Download files with your Samsung mobile files even quicker with this feature

Any new games in 2020 that boasts being one of the most popular would easily occupy 1 GB, reaching in some cases more than 2 GB. The same applies to files that are sent to us and which we access from cloud services. Samsung phones, however, have a trick to accelerate downloads.

When data rates increase, it gets costly to access large files with your mobile phone, as it may be easier to download files over free or other Wi-Fi than through our mobile internet in many instances and depending on the connection. But what happens when both technologies join forces to increase the speed of download?

Download Booster
Samsung phones with the “Download Booster” feature that combines mobile data link with Wi-Fi connectivity for faster and more efficient download of heavy files. In this way, if one of the two fails, the other is still working and the transfer of the file is never interrupted. When enabled, it will start automatically whenever the file we are downloading exceeds 30 megabytes. The function merges the download speed of our Wi-Fi connection with the LTE data network, so we can see how the files arrive faster than our normal file downloads.

How to activate
To activate the Download Booster, we must swipe up or down on the application screen. Then we go to the Settings menu. Once inside we select « Connections» and then click on « More Connection Settings» . Once inside we enter the option “Download Booster ” and we touch on the switch that is used to activate the function.

Consume more data
Now, every time we download a file larger than 30 MB, the function will be launched. Keep in mind that it is important to have Wi-Fi enabled and that this feature will dramatically increase the cost of mobile data. It is therefore advisable that the feature is active only if we want to download a large file that, in a hurry or need.
