The built-in contacts page is a powerful tool to access quickly to your contacts. Since some basic features like searching items, putting it as a page and quick scrolling work the same way as the app drawer in this post, I'm going to give you several tips for contacts specific features in this post.
1. Long-click call
You have this option in Home options > Contacts and it is on in default.
When the option is on and edit mode is turned off, you can long-press a contact in the contacts page to call it directly. When you have multiple numbers in a contact, it calls the default number, which can be set in the edit of the contact.
2. Managing favorites
Do you know that you can set a contact to your favorite and list up those favorites only? To make a favorite contact, just toggle on the star that is on the right side of the name in the edit (take a look at the above screenshot). After you made up your favorite list, toggle on the star button on the bottom menu bar of the contacts page to show up only the favorites.
3. Adding a contact tile to the home
If you have some contacts that you use too often and want to add them as tiles onto your home, there is a easy way. Just long-press and drag one of them from the contacts page and drop it onto your home. Don't forget edit mode should be turned on to do this. It's easy, isn't it? Oh, long-click call feature is also supported on this tile, of course.
