Samsung and Google worked closely together to make the Android more flexible for the Galaxy Fold. With Android 10, Google made it easier for apps to resize and added a feature to the Android Emulator that supports switching between multiple displays on the fly. This makies it easier for developers to test how their apps will work on the new form factor.
While it’s not exactly anything new to run multiple apps on a smartphone – Samsung itself has been allowing you to do so for years – the Galaxy Fold’s form factor obviously lends itself to multitasking when used in tablet mode. It might be the catalyst that turns phones from consumption devices to proper creation devices, though we’ll have to see how it plays out once its in user’s hands. The Samsung Galaxy fold is available in Korea and is due to arrive in other regions later this month.
