Receiving Calls

If you receive an incoming call when the device is in sleep mode or the screen is
locked, the phone application opens in fullscreen format. If you receive an
incoming call when the screen is active, the incoming call is displayed as a floating
notification, that is, in a minimized window that floats at the top of whatever
screen is open. When such a notification arrives, you can choose to answer the call
and open the phone application screen, or you can reject the call and stay on the
current screen.
