"Flex Mode" compatible apps that I want you to increase more -mobile phone Watch

　The model "Xperia 1 II", which was used mainly, was changed to the docomo version of "Galaxy Z Fold3 5G".This is the first time to use Fol Double Smartphone as a personal terminal.The reason I chose Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is that I wanted to realize how much the user experience would change by folding.The first time that I supported Osaifu -Keitai for the third generation can be said to be a factor that I decided to buy without hesitation.

　Even if it is for double, the smartphone is a smartphone.The application and services to be used have not changed dramatically.Messengers such as telephone and LINE are used as before, and photos and videos have not changed.Bank -related and payment -related apps have been shifted from Xperia 1 II to Galaxy Z Fold3 5G.I often use SNS such as Twitter and Facebook, but they often start up closed.

　On the other hand, there are services that you want to use because it is a large screen.A magazine's subscription is one of them.If you use "D magazine", you can understand, but it is difficult to read a smartphone with a vertical display with a digitized service as it is.Because the aspect ratio is very different, if the full screen is displayed according to the screen size, the photos and characters will be considerably fine.

　On the other hand, the main display of Galaxy Z Fold3 5G has an aspect ratio 22..At 5:18, it is closer to a square than a general smartphone, and it is easier to display the entire paper -based information.Even though it is a magazine, the format varies, but the A4 or A4 deformed ones fit quite perfectly on the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G display.Weekly magazines centered on character information are still a little hard to read, but this size is enough for fashion magazines with many photos.As a result, the frequency of removing the "iPad Pro" to read the D magazine has dropped significantly.

　Video is a content that can only be enjoyed on a large screen.Compared to a tablet of around 11 inches and a larger screen, it is truly inferior, but on the contrary, Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is a size that can be held with one hand, so it is easy to watch videos while lying down.The weight is 272g, heavier than a general smartphone, but lighter than a tablet.For this reason, it is a good idea that the tablet of around 11 inches was hard to enter, and the video used while sleeping was neatly filled.

　Nevertheless, it is within the expected range that content consumption will increase to some extent with a large screen.If anything, the convenience of flex mode is that I noticed after the actual battle.If you use this mode, for example, you can easily take a picture of the press conference simply by placing the main unit on the desk and pressing the shutter button.If you use a tripod, you can do the same with a conventional smartphone, but if you complete it with a smartphone alone, you will lose your luggage and forget to carry it.

　Similarly, if you put it on the desk, it is easy to make video calls and video meetings.Being able to put it on a table or desk with half open is one of the values of Fol Double smartphone.Of course, the Samsung side has made such an appeal, but it is difficult to realize that such a usability is just listening to the explanation at the recital.I tried the actual machine on a daily basis and realized the convenience again.

　However, there are fewer apps that support flex mode properly than expected.The picture listed above is automatically divided into two parts when set to flex mode, and the upper half is a space for the viewfinder, the lower half of the operation panel and the photos taken.The UI that can press the shutter while checking the finish is easy to use.On the other hand, the apps that have been kneaded so far are the minority of the built -in app.

　In the "Flex Mode Panel" in "Lab" in "Settings", you can set whether to turn on flex mode for each app, but this is just a simple one.Even if you turn it on, just displaying buttons such as screenshots and volume changes will not allow you to perform operations in the app on the lower half screen.It is surprisingly convenient to be able to easily get a ZOOM screen, but since it is a flex mode, it is necessary to display items such as buttons in the lower half.

　The smartphone compatible with flex mode is not yet common, so the app side has not been able to deal with it, but Samsung Electronics is a presentation of Galaxy Z Fold3/Flip3 5G, and two models are "new for Smobile.The more you lift it up, the more you put it up.In fact, if you look at sales in Japan and overseas, you can see that it has greatly exceeded the past Fol Double smartphone.Whether the chicken is the first or the egg first, I hope that the flex mode support on the app will proceed.
