As the way we work becomes more flexible, the trend is toward mobile workers — or those who work on the go — is becoming more and more common. As remote working becomes more popular, so does the demand for mobile devices that support this style of work. Consumers have high expectations for the newly launched Galaxy Z Fold4 from Samsung Electronics as it allows users to expand their workspace based on the device’s many features.
Samsung Newsroom has put together this guide to help users take advantage of the features of the Galaxy Z Fold4, which offers a lighter, more convenient and more efficient workspace on the go.
Do more with your smartphone’s lighter weight and wider display
It’s gotten smaller, but wider — The Galaxy Z Fold4 is still as compact as ever, with even lighter weight and thinner hinges and bezels. When you flip open your phone, the device’s even wider display offers an immersive experience that can transform your current environment into a workspace anytime, anywhere. The UDC (Under Display Camera), located under the screen, helps you focus on your work by minimizing factors that distract your field of view.
Thanks to the device’s 7.6-inch wide screen, you can even edit documents with a lot of text with ease. Similar to a small tablet PC, you can use your smartphone to do a variety of tasks that are more complex than just reading or sending e-mails.
The cover screen of the Galaxy Z Fold4 has also become wider, making it even more convenient to use. The width of the cover screen has increased while the length has decreased, bringing the aspect ratio closer to that of other traditional smartphones. In addition, the phone has become thinner when folded, providing an improved grip experience. Thanks to the larger width, you can comfortably use most of the functions, e.g. B. writing letters or watching videos without ever having to open your phone.
Work efficiently from anywhere with advanced multitasking capabilities
The most striking features of the Galaxy Z Fold4 are its advanced multitasking capabilities. Along with the wider screen, the new taskbar1 Function and multi-window help you do your remote work quickly and efficiently — as if you are using a laptop.
The taskbar is a newly added feature, but that doesn’t mean it’s unfamiliar. The taskbar looks and works just like the layout you’re used to on a PC. You can even add frequently used apps to personalize your taskbar: all apps saved as favorites on your home screen will also appear in the taskbar.
You can take full advantage of the wider display by using Multi-Window, which allows you to display up to three windows on the screen at the same time. If you want to open another app while you’re using another application, simply drag and drop the app from the taskbar anywhere on the side, top, or bottom of the screen. With the intuitive interface, you can also easily switch between apps or change the layout.
If you have a combination of apps that you use together frequently, the App Pair feature will help you save time. With the App Pair feature, you can store up to three apps as a single group on the taskbar. Using this feature eliminates the hassle of launching each app and viewing each one on a split screen.
Use the S Pen to work accurately and quickly
With the S Pen for the Galaxy Z Fold4, you can precisely control your mobile device as if you were working with a mouse on a PC. You can take notes conveniently on a large screen, just like on a tablet, and you can also select just the necessary parts, such as text, links, or photos, to copy and paste them quickly.
Make the most of work and play from every angle
Flex mode allows you to get the most out of your foldable phone by freely changing the angle according to your needs. For example, if you take advantage of the multitasking capabilities of the Galaxy Z Fold4, you can launch multiple apps at the same time. You can use one window of the screen for a video call and another window to take notes on important information while viewing meeting material on the screen.
Breaks are just as important as efficient work. When it’s time to retire, try flipping your screen of work-related apps and watching a video on the title screen instead to brighten your mood. Thanks to the thin bezels and the aspect ratio optimized for the cover screen, you can have an immersive experience while watching a video. With the Flex mode, you can optimally adapt your Galaxy Z Fold4 to any situation.
Capture work, play and everything in between
The various features of the Galaxy Z Fold4 catch the eye whether you’re on the watch or not. For example, when you pause, you can watch videos or play games on a large, immersive screen that brings your content to life. Small but important details like the UDC (Under Display Camera), which places the camera under the screen, help minimize on-screen distractions and allow you to fully immerse yourself in the game.
In addition, Galaxy Z Fold4 users can also enjoy the device’s large screen while taking pictures. The larger image sensor and improved resolution enable high quality recordings day and night. Enabling “Cover Screen Preview” allows the portrait to simultaneously check the preview on the cover screen, while “Capture View” allows you to check the photos taken while using the camera.
Another notable feature that Capture View takes advantage of is the zoom map. With the larger zoom map automatically activated in the Capture View panel when the rear camera is zoomed in at 20x or more, you can compare the zoomed image and the original aspect ratio side-by-side at a glance. Typically, finding a subject when zoomed in is difficult as the quality decreases and small movements on the camera look very shaky. However, the larger zoom card makes it quick and easy to find a subject to capture the perfect shot.
The Galaxy Z Fold4 pushes the boundaries of mobile devices with its wide screen and various multitasking functions. If you’re a mobile worker who appreciates the convenience and flexibility of working from anywhere, then we recommend the Galaxy Z Fold 4 for your ultimate on-the-job productivity experience. Regardless of whether you are traveling for work or pleasure, you can still use the features of the Galaxy Z Fold4 to get the most out of your everyday life.
