What’s in Future Lab at the 2022 Festival of Speed

What’s in Future Lab at the 2022 Festival of Speed

The 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard is just days away and we’re incredibly excited for everyone to see what’s in store. In addition to the unrivalled roster of cars, bikes, drivers and riders, Future Lab presented by Randox brings a new dimension, a look at the future of mobility in the air, on land, under the sea and deep into space. So given that Future Lab is bigger than ever this year, we thought we’d highlight a few exhibits you simply mustn’t miss.

E1 powerboats

The UIM E1 World Championship Series will be the first racing series for electric powerboats, with grids of RaceBird vessels taking to waters at iconic city locations to do battle. A full-size model will be on display at FOS Future Lab, while visitors will be able to sit in a representative cockpit and have a go in an advanced simulator to experience E1 in the virtual world.

Saab SeaEye

Saab Seaeye provides incredible, remotely-operated vehicles for ocean exploration and industrial purposes. A number of these underwater robots will be on display, including the Sabretooth, which is the vehicle that found the Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s vessel that sank in the Antarctic 107 years ago. The Saab Sabretooth had to descend 3,000 metres in pitch black frozen waters in search of this legendary vessel, finding it in good condition, with ‘Endurance’ still proudly and clearly emblazoned on its stern. This robot, like Endurance itself, is now an important piece of history and a testament to the potential of robotics in the exploration

Northern Light Motors

Meanwhile in the comfort of our cities and on our roads, Northern Light Motors want to revolutionise personal transport, and not with some anonymous pod you have to share. This is high-end car design crossing paths with environmentally friendly future mobility. The designer is the man who penned the TVR Sagaris and that flair is obvious in the NLM. This in spite of the fact it’s an electrically-augmented three-wheeled eBike and not a 400PS supercar. The company will be debuting the fully production-ready versions of these awesome little machines in the Future Lab. We can’t wait to see them in person.

eSkootr

Joining the E1 electric boat series as a brand-new motorised sport on show at Future Lab is eSkootr, a championship for electric scooter racing. The series reimagines racing as a platform for future sustainable urban mobility. A number of quirks of the sport include the fact that it’s due to never return to the same city twice and that race riders will come from a variety of different sports. You’ll be able to see one of the eSkootrs on display in Future Lab, while visitors can also try Electrik City, a VR experience where you can watch eSkootr races with an Unreal Engine simulation. Riders will also be riding them up the Hill on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Teslasuit

From the future of transport, to the metaverse – the Teslasuit is here to transport your whole body to the virtual world. Not actually any relation to the Tesla of the motoring world, the Teslasuit is, however, arguably as sophisticated. Full body haptics, motion capture and biometric sensors make up a platform that can be used for everything from F1 driver simulations, to safety or fitness training and body monitoring. At Future Lab, a Teslasuit demo will be available where visitors can experience this incredible full-body tech.

Interstellar Lab

How do you grow food in space? This is a question Interstellar Lab is trying to answer. With the revolutionary BioPod it can create conditions to grow pretty much anything, anywhere on Earth. The next step is taking that tech into space, to the Moon, Mars and possibly beyond. At Future Lab, you’ll be able to take part in a VR experience exploring one of these BioPods and what they can do.

Airspeeder

Airspeeder is the world’s first electric VTOL flying race series, dubbed ‘the F1 of the skies’. Pilotted E-VTOLs with eight motors and four rotors will be battling it out on virtual circuits in our skies soon but for now, at Future Lab, you’ll be able to take part in a VR driver experience. You’ll also be able to see an Airspeeder Mk3 race car in person when it’s on display on the maker’s stand.

All of these exciting experiences and much more will be there to enjoy as Future Lab opens at the 2022 Festival of Speed. We’re excited to show you the future of mobility and beyond, as well as its present and past.

Mercedes-AMG Vision AMG Ev Concept

El show car Vision AMG ofrece una visión del futuro totalmente eléctrico de Mercedes-AMG

La arquitectura AMG.EA dedicada para los modelos AMG totalmente eléctricos forma la base para un estudio extraordinario

Affalterbach/Niza. Proporciones espectaculares definidas por una distancia entre ejes larga y enfatizadas por voladizos cortos, hombros poderosos, ruedas grandes, un alerón trasero distintivo y la firma de los faros en forma de estrella: el Vision AMG hace una declaración emocional desde todas las perspectivas.

Design Essentials IV – The Art of Creating Desire, 2022, Nice: Vision AMG

Este extraordinario show car de Mercedes-AMG ofrece una visión del futuro totalmente eléctrico de AMG Driving Performance. Debajo del impresionante diseño exterior del coupé de cuatro puertas se encuentra la igualmente extraordinaria plataforma dedicada AMG.EA, que actualmente se está desarrollando en Affalterbach para modelos de alto rendimiento totalmente eléctricos.

“AMG se está reinventando. Como una vez fue el caso de nuestros padres fundadores, ha habido una sensación increíble de nuevos comienzos aquí en Affalterbach desde hace bastante tiempo. El curso ha sido bien y verdaderamente establecido para un futuro electrificado, y hemos puesto el listón muy alto. Eso es porque nuestros clientes esperan algo muy especial de los autos totalmente eléctricos. Ya hemos demostrado nuestra experiencia en este sentido con el SLS AMG Electric Drive, nuestra propia tecnología híbrida E PERFORMANCE y los primeros derivados de Mercedes-EQ. Con este estudio, ahora ofrecemos un primer vistazo de cómo estamos transfiriendo el ADN AMG al futuro completamente eléctrico, a partir de 2025. Gorden y su equipo están señalando el camino desde una perspectiva visual con este extraordinario diseño. En AMG, siempre hemos defendido ese toque extra de emoción, diversión al volante, manejo, características aerodinámicas ingeniosas y otras soluciones innovadoras. Y eso es lo que seguimos defendiendo con nuestro primer BEV desarrollado íntegramente en Affalterbach. Estamos desarrollando todo desde cero, desde la plataforma dedicada AMG.EA hasta la revolucionaria tecnología de transmisión con la que llevaremos la movilidad eléctrica de alto rendimiento a un nivel completamente nuevo”, dice Philipp Schiemer, CEO de Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

Design Essentials IV – The Art of Creating Desire, 2022, Nice: Vision AMG

“El Vision AMG muestra con un estilo espectacular cómo podría ser la electrificación en Mercedes-AMG, sin dejar de ser fiel a la estética de la marca. Las proporciones extremas del estudio crean fascinación y pasión por el rendimiento: de eso se trata AMG. El Vision AMG es una encarnación impresionante de la doble polaridad de la marca: la interacción de la belleza y lo extraordinario.

Design Essentials IV – The Art of Creating Desire, 2022, Nizza: Vision AMG

Al mismo tiempo, los elementos del futuro, como las firmas luminosas con la parrilla iluminada de alta tecnología, subrayan la evolución progresiva de nuestro lenguaje de diseño de Sensual Purity”, dice Gorden Wagener, Director de Diseño de Mercedes-Benz Group AG. “Con su superficie moderna contrastante y sus proporciones radicales, este automóvil muestra el siguiente paso en el diseño, basándose en el VISION EQXX y avanzando hacia el lujo de alto rendimiento. El flujo continuo de superficies bellamente formadas y la escultura monolítica completan la poderosa estética del Vision AMG. El resultado es un superdeportivo eléctrico, un icono de estilo que estimula el deseo, y eso es exactamente lo que distingue a un deportivo de lujo”.

Design Essentials IV – The Art of Creating Desire, 2022, Nizza: Vision AMG

Escultura monolítica y proporciones radicales

El concept car se caracteriza por superficies fluidas y bellamente formadas. Las juntas y las líneas de cierre se reducen al mínimo, y las ventanas traseras y laterales están pintadas en el mismo color plateado Alubeam que el propio automóvil. El resultado es un aspecto general que refuerza la impresión de una escultura monolítica.

Design Essentials IV – The Art of Creating Desire, 2022, Nice: Vision AMG

Las proporciones deportivas son particularmente evidentes desde el lateral y están definidas por el diseño técnico: distancia entre ejes larga, pilar A muy inclinado colocado muy hacia adelante, voladizo delantero corto y voladizo trasero ligeramente más largo aerodinámicamente optimizado. Expresa claramente el lenguaje de diseño de Sensual Purity con señales distintivas de autos deportivos, como los arcos de las ruedas ampliamente ensanchados y hombros anchos y musculosos en la parte trasera.

Design Essentials IV – The Art of Creating Desire, 2022, Nice: Vision AMG

El elegante invernadero está integrado en la forma general fluida y se funde a la perfección con la silueta baja. El techo se estrecha a medida que su línea desciende elegantemente hacia la parte trasera, fluyendo directamente hacia el alerón trasero. El efecto general es una forma de lágrima visualmente fascinante y aerodinámicamente ventajosa, similar a la del VISION EQXX. La superficie sensual y la escultura poderosamente definida son representativas del lenguaje de diseño distintivo de Mercedes. Del mismo modo, la aspiración de la marca a lo extraordinario se realiza a través de las proporciones radicales y la nariz de tiburón bien cincelada. El Vision AMG es, por lo tanto, un ejemplo impresionante de la polaridad dual del enfoque de diseño de la marca que abarca “Belleza y lo extraordinario”.

Design Essentials IV – The Art of Creating Desire, 2022, Nice: Vision AMG

El borde de corte en ángulo pronunciado en la parte trasera incorpora un alerón activo, que alarga la vista lateral y al mismo tiempo mejora la aerodinámica. Está enmarcado por una banda de luz cortada con precisión que se adapta a una variedad de diferentes instalaciones de luces, proporcionando un contraste efectivo con el gran logotipo AMG negro en la parte trasera del automóvil.

Design Essentials IV – The Art of Creating Desire, 2022, Nizza: Vision AMG

Tecnología impresionante para un rendimiento distintivo

La tecnología del Vision AMG rinde homenaje al diseño espectacular de muchas maneras. Todos los componentes de su tren motriz se desarrollan completamente desde cero: no solo la plataforma AMG.EA en sí, sino también la batería de alto voltaje dedicada de alto rendimiento y la revolucionaria tecnología de propulsión. El poderoso corazón del Vision AMG es su innovador motor de flujo axial desarrollado por YASA, subsidiaria de propiedad total de Mercedes-Benz. Con su diseño compacto y liviano, ofrece mucha más potencia que los motores eléctricos convencionales.

Parrilla AMG cerrada con barras iluminadas

La parrilla específica de AMG con barras verticales se mantiene como una característica distintiva de la marca, a pesar de que un tren motriz totalmente eléctrico no requiere un radiador clásico en la parte delantera. Por lo tanto, el desarrollo de alta tecnología de la parrilla está cerrado, pintado en el color de la carrocería y completamente integrado en la parte delantera. Como punto focal visual, la parrilla enfatiza el aspecto futurista del Vision AMG con sus barras iluminadas y su contorno exterior tridimensional. La estrella de tres puntas ocupa un lugar destacado en el capó, como en el Mercedes‑AMG Project ONE.

Design Essentials IV – The Art of Creating Desire, 2022, Nizza: Vision AMG

Extraordinaria firma luminosa en forma de estrella

La firma luminosa de los faros apunta directamente al futuro. Tres elementos LED forman una estrella Mercedes estilizada y tridimensional, lo que garantiza que las marcas Mercedes y AMG sean inmediatamente evidentes e inconfundibles de día y de noche. Los dos faros están conectados visualmente a través de la banda de luz horizontal sobre la parrilla. Esta banda de luz puede mostrar una variedad de animaciones, que van desde una firma de bienvenida hasta una luz constante.

Las luces redondas en la parte trasera tienen un diseño ligero que es nuevo pero familiar. En cada lado, tres anillos de LED se colocan en tubos cilíndricos. Aquí, también, las pequeñas estrellas ofrecen un guiño a la marca Mercedes. A modo de contraste, el expresivo difusor trasero está pintado de negro intenso.

Design Essentials IV – The Art of Creating Desire, 2022, Nizza: Vision AMG

Conexión con la Fórmula 1 a través de claves de forma y color

La conexión directa con el exitoso equipo Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 es evidente en otros detalles visuales. Estos incluyen la pintura plateada con un patrón de estrella de gran formato en los hombros y las aletas traseras, elementos funcionales en fibra de carbono expuesta, el diseño aerodinámico de las llantas de 22 pulgadas con revestimientos aerodinámicos, el logotipo AMG y elementos en los umbrales y el difusor. en los colores de Petronas.

El diseño deportivo de alta tecnología sin costuras y las impresionantes proporciones dan al Vision AMG un carácter futurista. La configuración de cuatro puertas también deja en claro que el show car ofrece una muestra de un deportivo funcional totalmente eléctrico del futuro. A pesar del paquete de baterías en el piso del automóvil entre los ejes, el estudio se encuentra considerablemente más bajo que el EQS y, gracias a su piso interior de diseño inteligente, ofrece mucho espacio para cuatro.

296 GT3, Los primeros bocetos del futuro de Ferrari en GT Racing

296 GT3, Los primeros bocetos del futuro de Ferrari en GT Racing

Maranello, 16 de marzo de 2022: el futuro de Ferrari en la escena de las carreras de GT toma forma y se desarrolla en torno a los volúmenes del 296 GTB, redefiniéndolo de acuerdo con los requisitos de la pista y el rendimiento y dando vida al 296 GT3.

Este modelo retoma el legado del 488 GT3 que, en sus configuraciones estándar y Evo 2020, ha acumulado 107 títulos desde su carrera de debut hasta la fecha, con 429 victorias en 770 largadas. Estas cifras extraordinarias lo convierten en el automóvil más exitoso en la historia del Cavallino Rampante.

Para los diseñadores e ingenieros de Ferrari Competizioni GT, igualar esta lista de triunfos representa no solo un desafío que superar, sino una reserva inagotable de experiencias y soluciones técnicas a partir de las cuales dibujar y esculpir en una nueva forma.

El diseño del 296 GT3, eliminando la aerodinámica y los elementos característicos de la versión de carreras, ha conservado el vínculo con el modelo de producción, que desde su misma concepción se inspira en coches como el 250 LM de 1963. Ese coche logró grandes éxitos, como en las 24 Horas de Le Mans de 1965 (la última victoria absoluta de Ferrari en esta carrera), y también disfrutó de un gran éxito entre los equipos privados.

El 296 GT3, que ya se está ensamblando en las plantas de Oreca di Signes, marcará el regreso a la pista de un Ferrari equipado con un motor de 6 cilindros, aunque, de conformidad con las normas técnicas, no estará equipado con la unidad eléctrica. .

El nuevo GT3 del fabricante del Cavallino Rampante comenzará a desarrollarse en la pista en los próximos meses de cara a su debut en carrera, previsto para 2023.

AUDEMARS PIGUET BUILDS THE FUTURE WITH TWO NEW MODULAR BUILDINGS

AUDEMARS PIGUET BUILDS THE FUTURE WITH TWO NEW MODULAR BUILDINGS

Le Brassus, November 9, 2021 – Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet invests in the future with two contemporary and modular production sites able to adapt to the company’s evolving needs. While the Manufacture des Saignoles recently welcomed its employees in Le Locle after three years of construction work, Audemars Piguet just laid the first stone of its new building, named the “Arc”, adjacent to the Manufacture des Forges in Le Brassus. These two large-scale architectural projects embody Audemars Piguet’s sustainable approach and work culture requiring ever more flexibility and modularity. The two buildings also highlight the brand’s dedication to innovative architectures both integrated into and respectful of their environment.

A CUTTING-EDGE ARCHITECTURE INTEGRATED INTO THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT
Situated in Le Locle, the Manufacture des Saignoles hosts the workshops of Audemars Piguet Le Locle – previously known as Renaud & Papi – which specialises in complicated watch mechanisms. The new manufacturing site, whose construction work started in 2018 and ended in the spring 2021, consists of a 10,400 square-metre one-storey building spread on several split levels that have been adapted to the topography and to suit industrial flows. The new building seamlessly integrates the relief of the valley and draws inspiration from the surrounding meadows, boglands and forests. Conceived by the Swiss architect office Kuník de Morsier, it combines employees’ well-being and comfort, while giving prominence to natural light and new technologies. The building features large bay windows made of SageGlass®, a cost and energy-efficient electrochromic glass that tints automatically depending on natural light. In addition to filling each workshop with light, this type of glass ensures thermal regulation all year long and offers full view of the surrounding landscape. This “light architecture” has been developed in collaboration with Marilyne Andersen, Professor of Sustainable Construction Techniques at EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne. Her expertise in natural-light well-being was utilised to develop workspaces responding to the specific needs of each occupation.

In Le Brassus, the construction of the Arc, conceived by Swiss office De Giuli & Portier Architectes, has been entrusted to Steiner SA. This new U-shaped building will spread on a surface of 17,000 square metres divided between 3 floors and a basement where the technical rooms are located. In addition, the Arc will be connected to the current Manufacture des Forges.

Together, the two buildings will reunite under one roof all of Audemars Piguet’s industrial sites currently spread across the Vallée de Joux. Construction work started in the spring of 2021 and is planned to finish in 2025. Envisioned as an evolving project, the building allows long-term flexibility thanks to its modular layout and anticipates the company’s future needs. At the leading edge of technology, the Arc also privileges daylight thanks to electrochromic SageGlass® windows. This new construction aligns with Audemars Piguet’s commitment to promoting an architecture that is both avant-garde and respectful of its environment.
“Born in Le Brassus, raised around the world.”

Earth 300 research superyacht, next-generation platform for state of the art science at sea

EARTH 300 RESEARCH SUPERYACHT

Earth 300.
On a Mission.

Our ambition for Earth 300 was fearless from the start: we wanted to build the Olympic Torch of global science, to expand our knowledge and understanding of the universe, both above and below the ocean’s surface.

The result is a collaborative, next-generation platform for state-of-the-art science at sea. Our radical design – iconic, intelligent, aesthetically-pleasing – is intentional. It’s a 300-metre fabrication of the future. The 13-storey Science Sphere and cantilevered Observation Deck are the most obvious and eye-catching examples.

Carbon Free

One hundred percent emission free.

We have a choice of what kind of difference we want to make in the world. One of the choices we need to make is to become carbon free. We’ve found a way to get there.

It’s called the Molten Salt Reactor, a new generation of atomic energy that’s safe, sustainable and 100% emission free. The marine version of the Molten Salt Reactor will be small, with few moving parts, and provides the sustainable, clean energy needed to move ocean transportation into the future. Earth 300 is the first research vessel to be pursuing this revolutionary new technology.

EARTH 300 RESEARCH SUPERYACHT

EARTH 300 RESEARCH SUPERYACHT

Collaboration

Working together for the world.

Earth 300 represents an unparalleled opportunity for academia and private enterprise to collaborate on the most pressing challenges of our time. We’re bringing 160 of the brightest minds into our Science Sphere and equipping them with a level of technology never before seen on an ocean-going research vessel.

Science First

Science always.

We believe that scientists deserve to be treated like rock-stars, because they are; they are the ones who are at the frontlines of all discovery and advancement, they invent vaccines and protect our health; they allow us to move humanity forward.

Advanced Capabilities

Sea the future.

Oceans are our future. They are the beating heart of the planet, regulating everything from crops to climate to providing us with every second breath we take.

Our vessel promises to reframe what a floating research laboratory can achieve. The capabilities that our scientists will have at their disposal are exceptional: artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, real time data processing. We will also have the latest quantum computer on board, the first to take to the high seas.

Education

Citizen science.

We are combining exploration with education so that consumers become contributors. The interaction is immediate and constant. Imagine embarking on one of the most exhilarating and meaningful voyages of a lifetime where you’ll witness the cutting edge of science – you’re sitting under the tree with Newton when the apple falls, you’re walking on the moon with Armstrong and Aldrin, you’re holding Galileo’s telescope with one hand and a fine libation with the other. You will create and imagine with some of the most eminent thinkers of the day. You’ll make history.

Next Generation

Future proofing.

We love life and want to ensure that humanity survives the future. It’s why we are representing tomorrow by setting aside berths for some of the world’s most promising young students. We want to inspire and empower the next generation of global leaders to step up and help lead us into the future.

“Our journey towards the next generation of mobile devices is full of originality and innovation,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2, we closely listened to user feedback to ensure we were bringing meaningful improvements to the hardware, while also developing new innovations to enhance the user experience. Further strengthened by our industry-leading partnerships with Google and Microsoft, we’re reshaping and redefining the possibilities of the mobile device experience.”

New Refined Design

The Galaxy Z Fold2 pairs bold design with advanced engineering so you can feel confident using it every day.

  • Complete and Immersive Content Experiences1 – A 6.2-inch Infinity-O Cover Screen provides maximum usability so you can check email, look up directions, or even watch your favorite content without needing to unfold your device every time. When unfolded, the massive 7.6-inch Main Screen, with minimized bezels and notch-less Front Camera, immerses you with a 120Hz adaptable refresh rate for smooth scrolling and gameplay. To complete the experience, the Galaxy Z Fold2 comes with the best dynamic sound available on a Galaxy device to date, with enhanced stereo effect and clearer sound provided by high-dynamic dual speakers.
  • Solid Design and Expert Craftsmanship – The Galaxy Z Fold2 is re-engineered with a sleek, unified design that delivers a smooth, high-end feel. Samsung Ultra Thin Glass is now on the Main Screen, providing a more premium and refined feel for the display. Its design is anchored by the Hideaway Hinge, which fits seamlessly into the device body with the CAM mechanism and enables free standing capabilities2 that power all new Flex mode experiences. Galaxy Z Fold2 also employs sweeper technology, first introduced on the Galaxy Z Flip, within the gap between the body and hinge housing to repel dust and undesirable particles. As Galaxy Z Fold2 features a third-generation refined design, the space for the sweeper structure is even smaller than on the Galaxy Z Flip. To achieve this, Samsung developed new innovative sweeper technology to achieve the same level of protection in a smaller space. The Galaxy Z Fold2 Hideaway Hinge features revolutionary slim cutting technology, modified fiber composition and adjusted fiber density.
  • Customizable to Match Your Style – For those looking to stand out even more, Samsung is offering an online tool to customize your Galaxy Z Fold2 with four distinct Hideaway Hinge colors – Metallic Silver, Metallic Gold, Metallic Red, and Metallic Blue. Now you can create the Galaxy Z Fold2 that perfectly complements your unique style, adding a personalized touch to premium design.

Capture and View Exactly How You Want

The innovative foldable form factor and its sophisticated design are taken to the next level with unique mobile experiences on the Galaxy Z Fold2. The Galaxy Z Fold2 pairs Flex mode4 with App Continuity5 to provide expanded usability, crossing the boundary between the Cover and Main Screen. This flexibility enables you to create or view content that is curated to your exact preferences, from folded to unfolded.

  • A Device That is as Flexible and Productive as You Are – With Flex mode, it’s now easier than ever to capture content and review in real time. With Capture View Mode,6 now you won’t have to leave the Camera app. Clearly see the photo or video you just took or review up to five of your most recent captures on the bottom half of the Main Screen, and the preview of your next shot will be on the top half. Or take your creativity one step further with Auto framing.7 Whether you’re jumping in on the latest social dance or showing off your cooking skills, the Galaxy Z Fold2 can record hands-free video and keep the subject in focus even when it moves.
  • Features to Support Your Creativity – Rethink content capturing by incorporating both the photographer and subject’s perspective into getting the shot. Using the Main and Cover Screen at the same time with Dual Preview, both parties can see what’s being captured. What’s more, thanks to the Galaxy Z Fold2’s flexibility, take a high-quality selfie with the rear cameras with the Cover Screen acting as the viewfinder.
  • Flagship Camera Features – The Galaxy Z Fold2’s camera also offers flagship-level camera quality and control. With Pro Video mode,8 Single Take,9 Bright Night10 and Night Mode, the Galaxy Z Fold2 helps you capture the moment in stunning quality.

Maximize Every Moment

The Galaxy Z Fold2 aligns next generation mobile productivity with advanced multitasking capabilities thanks to new intuitive ways to interact. Get the most out of your day by tailoring the Galaxy Z Fold2’s tablet-sized Main Screen to fit in with your working style.

  • Seamless Multitasking – Use advanced Multi-Active Window11 to control your screen layout with more ease and flexibility. Experience more productivity now that you can open multiple files from the same app at the same time and view them side by side.12 With an improved Multi-Window Tray, you can open multiple apps at once with the integration of App Pair and the Edge Panel to enjoy added convenience. With drag and drop,13 you can simply drag text, images and documents from one app to another for instant transfer. Or quickly screen capture in one app and transfer the captured image into another seamlessly with Split Screen Capture.
  • Optimized App Interactions to Support Your Flow – Choose the most optimized UI on the Main Screen to suit your needs. Quickly and easily switch layouts between a large screen layout or traditional phone layout in the Settings.14
  • Optimized App Display– Maximize every moment in your daily life and upgrade the viewing experience of your favorite apps, including Gmail, YouTube and Spotify. Use the Main Screen with Office apps in Microsoft 365 to mimic the tablet experience. For example, use Microsoft Outlook to its true potential by viewing your inbox on the left side with current conversations at the same time. Draft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets or PowerPoint presentations with PC-like toolbar arrangements

Galaxy Leadership Strengthened by Strategic Partnerships

Samsung has an open and collaborative approach to partnerships. Through a long-standing partnership with Google, Samsung established an open ecosystem for foldable devices. With this partnership, Samsung has fostered foldable UX innovation to realize the goal of creating the ultimate form factor. Furthermore, a trusted partnership with Microsoft, combined with the Galaxy Z Fold2’s advanced hardware and large screen experience, allows users to maximize their productivity in mobile environments.
