    I love discovering new features from my devices. Here's one that's still a bit of a mystery to me.

    When you unlock your screen (swipe to unlock) you can relock it if you never let go and swipe back down. All in a fluid motion, unlock up, read, then relock down. It's sort of a vehicle peak option when the phone is locked.

    What I still don't know is sometimes it doesn't relock when swiping down. So not sure what the limit is. Is it because I skipped to high? Read for too long?

    Anyway wanted to share.

    Pretty sure it's how high you go that matters. Haven't tested exactly where the magic point is located though.
    Even if you pass that point, you won't be able to see so until you finally release your finger.

    This is not a technical explanation obviously. If someone knows otherwise, please share!

    For me, there's no limit on how high to go as long as you are still on the screen. When you go back down, just go a bit slower and it'll still turn off.

    This was demoed before z10 release

    Didn't realise there was a limit.
    Just tested it, seems that once the lock screen reaches the clock, that's the point of no return.

    Don't you all set your screen passwords? What if your phones are stolen?

    My password was annoying me too much. I pull out my Z10 too often for the extra step.

    Is it old news that you can relock your phone (turn off the screen) even when then phone is awake but locked state?

    Up then down again blacks out the screen!! Basically does what the sleep button at the top does.

    You guys are right, no point of no return for me. I can go all the way up then back down to off the screen. Just as long as I don't let go!

    When you're swiping up, look at the bottom of the screen. There's a picture of a padlock. If you keep swiping up (and haven't broken contact), you'll see when that padlock disappears. Once it disappears, it means that if you let go, you'll unlock the phone. If you swipe back down (and still haven't broken contact), the padlock will re-appear, and if you let go there, it'll still be locked.

    Based on my phone, it's almost exactly at the 50% point.

    I never see the padlock. Where is it? Can you screenshot?

    Just tried it myself and if i go right to the top of the screen, it prompts me to enter a password and i cant swipe down to re-lock it. But thats only if i go to the top of screen ie past the clock.
