Foldable screen devices bring some unique features that are not offered on conventional smartphones. Flex Mode and larger screens on Samsung devices for example offer new ways to interact with apps. Samsung Malaysia announced five local applications are now optimized for their devices such as Z Fold4 and Z Flip4.
The applications are AmBank, Family Mart, Maxis, Pay4U, and ZUS Coffee. Optimizations are done such that changes from external to internal screen (and vice versa) are launched more smoothly without any lag. When used on the Z Fold4, for example, the application will use the internal screen more optimally. Meanwhile on the Z Flip4, Flex Mode is supported in the ZUS Coffee app.
This is just the first line of local applications with Gigi Coffee, Golden Screen Cinemas, TGV Cinemas, and Zapp will also follow with it being optimized for Samsung's foldable screen devices in the coming months.
To fuel the use of foldable screens, Samsung will also hold a hackathon to develop specific applications for foldable devices with more information to be shared in the near future.
