3) Energy Ring
Energy Ring is the best app that can be installed on Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus, a real magic only possible on this smartphone. It practically turns the edge of the front camera into a monitor that marks the battery charge. The configurable energy ring lights up around the camera lens and indicates the current battery level. There are also numerous options for configuration and customization.
Last week, we talked about Hidey Hole. It has a lot of backgrounds for camera cutouts. Energy Ring has a little more functionality, though. You can read it lightly if you want. It doesn't use a lot of battery and you can get some neat animations if you're plugged in and charging. Currently only works with S10 and S10e with S10 Plus support coming soon. We're pretty happy with how the customization community has embraced the punch hole camera. It is actually fun.

Saving documents online and editing them will become much easier with this app, which also integrates a good PDF viewer.
