Goal of Retail Mode
The main objective of Retail Mode is to teach customers how to use Samsung devices. After learning through short-form content we encourage users to try it on the native device UI.
We accomplished this through the Features Carousel.
Secondarily, Retail Mode gives users the options to discover the device relative information they make be seeking.
Compare Devices - Allows users to see how device specifications compare to other devices.
Make the Switch - Content to educate on the ease of switching to Samsung.
Promotions - Quickly inform users of the current promotions to take advantage of.
Features Carousel
As users begin the Retail Mode experience, this is the first step in the user journey. Customers can watch up to 16 short videos to learn about device features.
If customers want to try features for themselves, there are strategically placed CTA buttons that drive the shoppers into the real experience putting them in control of the device.

Additionally information is organized in a way that aligns with user’s needs of the device.
‘Top Specs’ gives users a high-level look at benefits of the device without being bogged down in the specifics.
‘All Specs’ allows users to see the details in the device specifications to make an informed purchase decision.

About the Process
Like any other user experience, Retail Mode went through a design process starting with user flows and leading into wireframe designs. This helped us gain alignment with stakeholders in order to develop our experiences in tandem with content creation.

Wireframe to design
With the evolution of Retail Mode, our team chose to implement an 8 pixel design system. We utilized this system for consistency and flexibility throughout the experience. Having this system established also created efficiencies when adding new pieces to our existing designs.
