5 reasons why hybrid businesses need foldable mobile devices

If you’re an SMB owner or entrepreneur, you’ve navigated a lot these past few years. From going fully remote almost overnight or continuing operations through uncertainty and making pivotal decisions on when and how to respond — only then to face supply chain issues and labor shortages — you continue to overcome every challenge the world throws your way.

At this juncture, you likely realize how important technology is for business continuity and resilience. You also probably have a handle on the technology you need to succeed in a hybrid work model — but have you thought about the role of your smartphone in the evolving landscape? For example, is your device helping you leverage AI for efficiency, productivity and growth without overcomplicating your operations? Your phone is attached to your hip, if not your hand. It’s time to expect and demand something greater. And with Galaxy Z Fold6, Samsung’s newest foldable, you can.

Samsung has pioneered the foldable form factor and continue to refine it so that business users can make the most of the expansive display, PC-like qualities, innovative design, and cutting-edge Galaxy AI* features. Here’s how Galaxy Z Fold6 can elevate virtually every aspect of your business.

1. True mobile productivity

Business owners and executives lead busy lives. When you’re working, it’s with a purpose — to get work done and continually check items off your to-do list. Traditional smartphones are great for staying connected but not necessarily built for full-on productivity. You need ultra-efficiency. Only seeing one app at a time is a serious slowdown; toggling between apps could easily add hours of work to your week.

Galaxy Z Fold6’s full email experience allows you to use apps on your phone the way you would on your laptop, previewing emails in a separate panel as you scan your inbox. Multi-Active Windows allow you to split the 7.6-inch foldable screen and work in up to three apps at once. You can launch apps from the Edge Panel or the new taskbar, which are easily accessible and completely customizable. You can even create your own app pairings for a one-tap launch. It’s the updated version of “work smarter, not harder.”

But the benefits of Galaxy Z Fold6 don’t stop there. The Circle to Search with Google feature takes full advantage of the foldable screen, allowing you to efficiently search for information with just a quick circular motion. Whether you’re using your finger or the S Pen, simply draw a circle around any text or image to instantly pull up search results. This makes it easy to quickly gather data, find answers or explore insights without interrupting your workflow.

Imagine seamlessly researching a client query while drafting an email or referencing market data while updating a presentation — all on the same screen. The combination of Multi-Active Windows and Circle to Search with Google transforms your smartphone into a productivity powerhouse, saving you time and effort as you tackle your to-do list.

2. Better collaboration

Mobile devices are no longer just for checking and responding to emails. You need to be able to edit files in the cloud, share presentations, jump on video calls and multitask on the go.

Ever seen someone try to video chat in transit while taking notes and viewing a presentation? People with standard smartphones usually don’t even try — or, if they do, they’re fumbling all over the place.

When you’re at home, in the office, or anywhere else, Galaxy Z Fold6 offers another unique advantage: FlexMode. Folded at a 90-degree angle, Galaxy Z Fold6 stands up on its own, enabling hands-free videoconferencing with a crystal clear and stable camera embedded under the display. Hand-talkers rejoice.

You can then split the bottom of the screen to view a slide deck or edit a document in real time with the optional S Pen. And with the integrated, optimized Microsoft Office suite, Word, PowerPoint and Excel on Galaxy Z Fold6 closely resemble the desktop versions rather than the condensed mobile versions. There’s no more need to wait until you’re by the computer to attend to a task.

Galaxy Fold6 takes collaboration to another level with Transcript Assist and Note Assist. During meetings, Transcript Assist can automatically record conversations using Samsung’s native voice recording app and convert them into full, accurate text transcripts. It even identifies and separates speakers, making it easy to review who said what. Once the meeting ends, you can share the transcript directly with your colleagues or send it to Samsung Notes for an AI-generated bullet summary with Note Assist. With this level of AI-powered support, you’re not just multitasking — you’re optimizing every moment for peak productivity.

3. Device consolidation

More technology doesn’t always equate to better productivity. In fact, most people could stand to travel lighter to and from the hybrid workplace. One of the most powerful features of Galaxy Z Fold6 is Samsung DeX. It essentially transforms your phone into a pocket-sized PC just by wirelessly connecting to any Miracast-enabled monitor or Smart TV.

DeX isn’t just screen mirroring; your Galaxy Z Fold6 is powering a desktop computing experience, and the device can be freed up for separate use by pairing a keyboard and mouse. DeX is a gateway to the ultimate device consolidation with Galaxy Z Fold6 — one device that can do it all. Fewer devices to manage means fewer security concerns and potential cost savings for your business.

4. Company culture

There are many factors at play when it comes to recruiting and retaining talent for your business; some factors you can control, and some you can’t. One factor you can control is your company culture, with technology being a driving force. Top talent expects the best tech — and today’s best tech is compact, not complex. Telling candidates and employees that you offer Galaxy Z Fold6 as a ChooseYour Own Device (CYOD) option is a major flex for recruiting and retention, which can instantly put your business in the upper echelon of technology-enabled workplaces.

Galaxy Z Fold6 can contribute to your company culture in countless other ways. Everything you want in your workplace is enabled by this device, from connectivity and collaboration to creativity, productivity and flexibility. And Galaxy AI-powered tools make the Galaxy Z Fold6 more than just a device; it’s an enabler of a modern, tech-forward workplace where innovation and efficiency are at the forefront.

For businesses looking for something more compact, there’s Galaxy Z Flip6, which delivers all the productivity of a traditional Galaxy smartphone in an innovative form factor that folds to half the size.

5. Durability and privacy

Are foldables durable enough for business? The answer is yes. Galaxy Z Fold6’s predecessor, Galaxy Z Fold5, performed extremely well in dunk, drop and screen tests. As Samsung’s engineers continue to make strides in durability, Galaxy Z Fold6 has been even further fortified without sacrificing its stylish design. Galaxy Z Fold6 is water- and scratch-resistant, with an armor-aluminum-reinforced frame. Everyday use won’t wear down the hinge, either.

Galaxy Z Fold6 also supports corporate values around security with Samsung Knox protection and the convenient Privacy Dashboard. Keep your business running day in and day out, knowing you can unfold next-level productivity anywhere, anytime, and be a tech-forward leader poised to define the hybrid workplace of the future.
