MicroSIM®
MicroSIM Required:
Your Samsung Focus 2 requires a specially sized microSIM card to function. Do not attempt to replace the microSIM in the Focus 2 with a regular-sized SIM card.

A dedicated camera button on the right side of the phone gives you instant access to the camera feature, even when your phone is locked, so you’ll never miss that once-in-a-lifetime shot. Press and hold the button to launch the camera menu.

Power Saving
Conserving Battery Power:
When you turn on Battery Saver, your phone automatically turns off some of the features that use battery in the background. So when Battery Saver is on, your phone will no longer automatically receive email or calendar updates, update some Live Tiles, or allow apps to run in the background. Flick the Start screen to the left, and tap Settings > Battery Saver.
