1. Multitasking
Galaxy devices leverage crisp, expansive screens to give users a variety of options for working across multiple apps. Samsung smartphones have featured Multi Window mode as far back as 2012’s Galaxy Note II, and each subsequent generation has further refined the multitasking experience.
On the latest Galaxy phones, launching two apps in split screen is as easy as swiping left to open the Edge menu and selecting an App Pair. App Pairs are combos of apps you frequently use in tandem, like email and Office, or Spotify and Samsung Health. They’re your shortcuts to multitasking.
2. The Android app ecosystem
Speaking of apps, you’ll have plenty to choose from. In terms of pure number of apps, Google’s Play Store outstripped the Apple App Store sometime in 2013 and has continued its growth trajectory as the world’s largest app store ever since. Its breadth and depth of options feel almost infinite.
3. Office productivity
You should be able to get to work the moment you power up your smartphone. In most cases, that means having quick, easy access to Microsoft Office and Google Workspace (formerly known as G Suite) — apps that most business professionals turn to early and often.
Link to Windows, another product of the Microsoft-Samsung partnership, lets you access your Galaxy smartphone right from your Windows PC. You can view and send messages, take calls, view photos and access your apps, all without picking up your phone.
4. Samsung DeX
If you are looking for one big reason to switch, Samsung DeX is probably it. DeX allows your Galaxy smartphone to power a full desktop experience — just by connecting it to a monitor or smart TV and pairing a keyboard and mouse.
You can launch and resize multiple apps, use keyboard shortcuts and right mouse button clicks just like you would on a traditional PC. For people who are always on the go, DeX lets you ditch the laptop bag and go mobile-only.
With 2020’s Galaxy Note20 and the new S21 series, DeX now works wirelessly on any Miracast-enabled display, including Samsung’s latest Smart TVs and the new Smart Monitor. DeX for PC also allows you to connect your phone directly to your computer to access mobile and desktop applications on one device.
5. Long-lasting battery and power sharing
Devices like the Galaxy Note20 or Note20 Ultra alleviate those concerns with Super Fast Charging, which pulls 25 watts of power when plugged in — giving you hours of power in a matter of minutes. And an adaptive power-saving mode offers several days of battery life without recharging by minimizing the apps and features you don’t often need.
Best of all, Wireless PowerShare (available on select devices) allows you to offer a coworker — or even a customer — some extra battery life for their phone when they need it. You can also give your Galaxy Buds a boost by placing them on your phone.
6. Knox security
Samsung Knox — a comprehensive set of security features at both the hardware and software level — is trusted by governments and large enterprises alike. But they aren’t the only customers who benefit. All Samsung Galaxy users get real-time mobile protection and encryption from the moment they turn on their device. We’ll cover several of the key security-related features that build on Knox in the next four reasons to switch.
7. Advanced biometric protection
Samsung Galaxy devices have led the way in introducing advanced biometric authentication options. Ultrasonic fingerprint ID, first introduced on the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+, uses an innovative in-display sensor to create a 3D image of your fingertip, delivering superior accuracy to traditional capacitive sensors. Most Galaxy smartphones also offer facial recognition, so you can unlock with a look.
8. Samsung Pass
From social media accounts to business apps, you’re likely managing a larger number of logins and passwords. If you forget even one, productivity can suddenly grind to a halt.
That’s why the first thing many Samsung Galaxy customers do when they first get their device is activate Samsung Pass, a free service that acts like a vault for login credentials. And you can use Samsung Pass in tandem with your biometrics, so you can sign into the majority of your most-used apps and websites with just two taps.

9. Secure Folder
Think of Secure Folder as a private, locked container on your device that requires additional authentication to open. You can move apps and files into the Secure Folder, and even have two instances of apps — one in the Secure Folder and one on your main home screen. You decide how you want to unlock your Secure Folder, whether via password, PIN or biometric authentication.

10. Find My Mobile service
Samsung’s free Find My Mobile service tracks your lost phone using location information collected by Google and data passing through wireless networks. Once you’ve activated Find My Mobile, you can find your Samsung device from any web browser. If you ask Find My Mobile to “Send last location,” you’ll be able to spot your device on a map, and if its location is moving, you’ll get updates every 15 minutes.
