Accomplish more with the Galaxy Fold
October 16, 2019Surfing the Internet, messaging friends, watching a movie, shopping online, internet banking – the list of things you can accomplish with smartphones has grown exponentially. Today, multitasking takes many forms but not without limitations. Now, if you had the revolutionary Galaxy Fold, multitasking can be taken to a whole new level.
Thanks to the Galaxy Fold’s expansive unfolded main display of 7.3 inches and its Multi Window function, users can split the screen into two or three app windows. This allows for three times the multitasking capability of conventional smartphones.
Here are a few scenarios where the Galaxy Fold’s extra screen estate may benefit you immensely:
#1: Your Morning commute
While on your morning commute, you can catch up on news, stream your favorite apps and check your email. Before the Galaxy Fold, only one of those tasks could be done at a time, but with Multi Window, now you can accomplish all these tasks simultaneously.
Let’s say you are reading the news and spot a headline you want to share with your friends. Just open the messenger app from the Galaxy Fold’s edge panel and drag the app into a Multi Window slot. Now, you can share the news without having to leave the page.
#2: Working while On-The-Go
We’ve all had this experience before. You’ve just walked out of the office after a hard day’s work, and suddenly receive an urgent email that requires your attention. Instead of having to turn around and rushing back to your cubicle, with the Galaxy Fold, you can work on any urgent email right where you stand.
The device has a spacious display screen once it’s unfolded. You can easily multitask on it, which includes editing without losing any crucial information while communicating with your colleagues for clarification.
#3: Staying on track with schedules
Meetings are crucial to any organisation. A plethora of ideas and suggestions are shared within the confines of one room. It can often feel like you don’t have enough hands to take notes or refer to certain documents, perhaps even to co-ordinate your schedules.
Now with Multi Window, Galaxy Fold users can multitask and sync important notes and calendars during discussions while not missing important notes.
#4: Going to meet a friend
Visiting new places can be an adventure, but you don’t have to risk losing your way and friends in the process. With the Galaxy Fold, you can keep your navigation app open for directions to the meeting point while chatting with the group or confirming what you’d like from the menu.
#5: Relaxing with an eBook
You don’t need to lug around your tablet to enjoy an eBook while on the move. The Galaxy Fold offers the portability of a smartphone but with the screen real estate of a tablet. Now, you can enjoy your favorite ebook anywhere you want. While reading, you can open the Samsung Notes app to jot down a memo or thought, or look up a word or phrase on the web.
#6: Booking a Vacation
When it comes to holidays, a lot needs to be done beforehand, such as book your flights, hotels and activities. Once done, you need to review them to ensure everything is in order. Now with the Galaxy Fold, you can keep an eye on your bank account, email confirmation as well as message your friends regarding the itinerary – simultaneously!
#7: Trying something new in the Kitchen
Sometimes preparing a new dish for the family isn’t as easy as it sounds. Since the recipe is new to you, a step-by-step guide is required. As such, you would need to stream the online recipe while preparing the ingredients, and, still be mindful of how long things have been cooking for – this can be overwhelming at times. But with Galaxy Fold, you can put way the stress by streaming the recipe video in one window, in another window, open a timer as well research the ingredients without pausing or exiting any of the other apps.
The Galaxy Fold may not be perfect, but its easy to look past its flaws when you consider what it brings to the table. It’s a tablet that folds into a smartphone sized device, that you can then slip into your jeans pocket.
It will take time for this type of tech to mature, but when it does, it could be life changing.
