What are the launchers that we have used in this comparison?
Have you noticed hundreds of third-party launchers in the Google Play Store? Then, you may have an understanding of the different kinds of features, themes, and other customization options in those launchers.
Therefore, we selected 6 launchers that include each unique feature. All of us search for the best or the perfect option but there is no such single option. Each of them is specific compared to others.
The launchers that we used here are,
Getting started
What is the best launcher that has an easy way to set up it on the phone? After downloading Nova Launcher, you must select a certain option between light or dark theme. To open the app drawer, you can use a button or swipe up.
Moreover, Buzz Launcher is also including such a quick process to set up it. Right off the bat, there are 9 pre-selected themes and you can pick one among them. Unless just skip this step and find more themes after.
On the other hand, Microsoft Launcher and Smart Launcher provide the opportunity to choose only the wallpaper. Stick to the usual wallpaper and so the recommended options.
For instance, the option that is available in the Microsoft Launcher is ‘Bing Daily Wallpaper’. It changes your wallpaper every day and provides you great looking photos.
Especially, Evie Launcher does not include a step to setup. After you are giving the required permissions, the app will start to run. When you see the welcome screen, press the ‘start’. In contrast, Ap15 and Lawnchair are the launchers that do not consist of a welcome screen. When the app launchers, you will see the home screen firstly.
Home screen
After the end of the setup process, you will see the home screen. All of them are customization-friendly. Some of them begin with a ‘blank canvas’ and others will be ready to go.
Moreover, if you are using Microsoft Launcher, you will see the option of ready-to-go. The main screen is consisting of a weather widget, a folder, and a clock. Everything you find here will be Microsoft-heavy and will be synced to the Microsoft account that you have.
As well as that, the voice assistant is Cortana and the default search engine is Bing. But you have the chance to change it if you are not interested in it.
Now we are going to talk about Lawnchair Launcher, Smart Launcher 5 and Ap15 Launcher. Smart Launcher has an approach with a dock housing a small number of apps. But do not worry because you can add some apps here.
In the Ap15 Launcher, all apps will be listed in the home screen and it has a scrollable home page. You can hide some apps but there is an issue here. That is, you must unhide them again to use the relevant app.
Themes and Customization
Nova Launcher is the most popular one among the audience as it offers a perfect level of features to use. For instance, you can change the icon size, height and width padding, grid size for the home screen. Also, you can add a search bar. With this bar, you have the opportunity to choose the logo and style for it.
On the other hand, Lawnchair allows you to adjust the look that you have already. So, it does not provide the facility to do changes as the Nova Launcher did. You can adjust the icon shape, and make a choice between a light, dark or black.
Furthermore, you can set different themes for the folders, app shortcuts, search bar and more.
Microsoft also does not offer many customizations. You can apply light, dark or transparent themes, app folder designs, and blur effects and accents.
