Samsung is rolling out an update that will bring the latest features from the Galaxy Z Fold 2 to the original Galaxy Fold, including new productivity capabilities and camera experiences. Previously, Samsung updated its original foldable to Android 10 with One UI 2.1.
One of the biggest new features in the update is App Pair, which lets users launch up to three apps at once. Users can access App Pair via the Edge Panel, which can display 22 of your favorite apps.
Users can also choose their preferred split screen layout, so you can launch YouTube, a web browser, and an email in a Multi-Active Window. Speaking of which, Samsung said the arrangement of the Multi-Active Window layout can now also be done horizontally.
The update also now allows the Galaxy Fold to connect to Smart TVs wirelessly via Samsung DeX. With your foldable connected to a Smart TV, you can use it as a touchpad to control the second display with multi-finger gestures, Samsung said.
The Galaxy Fold is also gaining new camera capabilities, including Auto framing, which can track motion and automatically zoom in or out depending on how many people are in frame. There’s also a Capture View, Dual Preview, and Rear Cam Selfie, the last of which will allow users to use the rear camera for selfies while previewing the image on the cover display.
On the video side, Samsung’s original foldable is getting a new setting in the Pro Video Mode, allowing users to shoot 21:9 and 24fps video, along with more assistant functions and a Single Take feature.
