Send Help Message + Location Information
The Samsung Z1 is not just a smartphone for entertainment. It is
equipped with features that enable users to quickly reach out for
assistance in any emergency situation. The SOS alert is quick and simple
to use – with just a press of the power button four times, the Samsung
Z1 will send out ‘Help’ message to the user’s primary contacts and track
the user’s location to provide necessary assistance.
Security/Antivirus

of virus, smishing, phishing, and even pharming. If something is
detected, AntiVirus notifies users that virus has been detected and
allows them to delete the message without opening it. For enhanced
security measures, consumers can also utilize Samsung Z1’s private mode
to create their own private space where pictures and files can be saved.
