When COVID-19 hit, the pace of digital adoption within the financial services industry was accelerated practically overnight. Employees needed a way to stay connected and productive away from the office and turned to the latest digital tools and technologies to make this a reality. Now, there’s no going back: the benefits reaped from these technologies has only cemented employees’ reliance on digital innovation going forward.

For finance professionals, the work itself hasn’t changed: a typical workday is still jam packed with different tasks. Productivity remains key as employees race against the clock to put the finishing touches on a budget presentation to stakeholders, analyze spreadsheet data, or deliver a summary of a market report. With ad-hoc requests popping up and a steady influx of emails to tend to, robust and efficient tech tools are vital for managing whatever the day throws at them.

New workplace models have transformed where and how work is being done. Financial Services employees are now collaborating remotely, multitasking more and relying on their mobile devices to get through their workday — with lots riding on the outcomes. For the IT experts tasked with supporting these workers, the challenge is about empowering them with the tools they need to successfully navigate this flexible new world.

That starts with the first email check of the day. Samsung Galaxy devices help finance professionals get more done from the moment they first pick up their phones. The Samsung Galaxy Fold3 5G allows employees to access and view three applications at once with the Multi-Active Window[1]—making multitasking easier (the more compact Galaxy Z Flip3 5G enables multitasking for up to two applications). This means that instead of having to switch over to a laptop, Financial Services employees can compare important documents side-by-side using Microsoft Office suite[2] just on their handheld devices.

From there, they can make edits directly on the expansive 7.6″ edge-to-edge display[3] of their Galaxy Fold3 5G using the S Pen[4] digital stylus. They can also quickly convert those notes into digital text with the touch of a button. These innovative features help even the busiest corporate executives check off their to-do lists on the go.

The rise of flexible work models hasn’t reduced the number of daily meetings or presentations that most financial professionals attend each day. But more of those meetings now occur by phone and video. Samsung Galaxy mobile devices make it simple and efficient to participate remotely, whether from home, office or another selected location. Both the Galaxy Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G pair seamlessly with the Galaxy Buds Pro, reducing background noise and providing clear and crisp audio. The Buds Pro also allow for a degree of privacy if calls take place in a public setting. And, with Flex Mode, there’s no need to even hold the phone: execs can simply prop up their phone and access split-screen multitasking viewing. This makes it easier to simultaneously participate on conference calls while taking notes or pulling up reference documents.

The rise of new work models has also led to increased attention on the importance of fitness and wellness. With the Galaxy Watch4 Classic, employees can track their steps while they’re walking to meetings or learn more about their body composition following a mid-day workout. The Galaxy Watch4 Classic also tracks stress levels and can alert employees to take a deep breath or stretch before jumping on the next conference call of the day.

Finance has always been a fast-paced and multifaceted career. But the move toward more flexible work models demand that professionals do more on the go with devices that not only make that possible, but preferable. On days when work goes from the home office to a client’s boardroom to a coffee shop, the Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360 can keep up with employees who require a device with more computing power.

At two pounds, the Galaxy Book Pro is the lightest Galaxy Book yet[5] with a battery life of up to 20 hours[6]—allowing a whole day’s work to take place on a single charge[7]. Employees can download spreadsheets, review contracts, and send out emails all with the latest 11^th Gen Core processor that’s Intel^® Evo-certified. Employees will not need to slow down with this device on hand.

Financial Service employees can use the expansive 13.3”/15.6” Super AMOLED touch screen of the Galaxy Book Pro 360 to jot down handwritten notes during meetings with the included S Pen and quickly convert them into a document to share amongst team members afterwards. Designed with a 360° hinge, it is as flexible as the mobile workday requires – matching perfectly to those busy days on the go.

When paired with the Galaxy Buds Pro, employees using the Galaxy Book Pro or Galaxy Book Pro 360 can easily join the meeting through Bluetooth connectivity without interrupting their regular workflow.

Versatile, portable and ready to do the job remotely—in today’s increasingly mobile world, these are the qualities of a Financial Service workforce that’s built for success. They’re also the same qualities to look for in the digital tools that enable finance professionals to do their best work.

For those who remember folding their phone to hang up, the latest foldable smartphones from Samsung might feel nostalgic. However, they represent a marked evolution in smartphone innovation and design, created for today’s users.

With refined features, high-end cameras, powerful processors and impressive displays, they are no longer just flashy handhelds designed for early adopters, rather the future of smartphone technology globally.

“While earlier Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip phones paved the way for today’s models, our newest devices have iterated and incorporated more of what we know consumers want in a smartphone at a more accessible price point,” says Tiffeny Chung, Head of Mobile Marketing at Samsung Electronics Canada.

“With flagship-level features and performance, our brand new Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G boast some major improvements from previous devices, like water resistance^[1] — a world first for foldables — and are crafted with our strongest aluminum and toughest glass available today[2].”

Unfold your world

Today we do more than just e-mail and send texts on our phones. They are mainstays in both our work and home lives, helping us stay connected and entertained 24/7.

Whether on the job or on the town, foldable smartphones from Samsung provide busy Canadians with next-level mobile experiences.

With the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, the device combines flagship mobile features with new and exciting productivity and entertainment experiences.

With the S Pen[3], the first on a foldable device – and one of the most renowned products from Samsung, users can work smarter thanks to features like Flex Mode[4] and Multi-Tasking[5], where you can take a call on the top half of the device and take notes on the lower half.

“When you don’t have your laptop or tablet on hand, features like Multi-Tasking[6] are so important to the foldable experience because they provide users with PC-like productivity in the palm of their hand,” says Ms. Chung.

“Save groups of apps to the Edge panel to open them later for instant multitasking, or watch, chat, and write with up to three apps open at once[7].”

For those who prefer a more compact phone, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is a powerful companion. Not only do they come in 2021’s latest on-trend colours and with features like Flex Mode[8], users can also capture stunning content for their social feed hands-free[9].

When closed, the all-new, larger cover screen[10] provides simpler ways to pay, play and check notifications – all of which can be customized. And if you don’t have time to unfold the device for a selfie, the front screen uses the dual-rear camera to take pictures and give you a preview.

“The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G offer unique features and benefits that were designed to meet and exceed the needs of today’s smart phones users – especially those who see their smartphone as their most important tool and most expressive accessory,” says Ms. Chung.

Strong and durable

With past foldable devices, Samsung has acknowledged the need for increased durability. This time around, with IPX8 certification[11], Armor Aluminum, and Gorilla Glass Victus, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G are the strongest phones yet from Samsung[12].

 “These devices are durable enough for you to feel confident when tossing them in your bag or pocket, yet stylish enough to show off when taking Instagram-worthy selfies,” says Ms. Chung.

Immersive viewing experiences

One of the most innovative features on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is its Under Display Camera.

Samsung engineered the screen with an overlay of pixels spaced on top of the camera hole, effectively hiding it while you watch content on the unfolded, 7.6-inch screen[13].

“It’s remarkable,” says Ms. Chung, adding that the main display also boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, which offers smoother visuals and less motion blur.

The future has arrived

The latest Galaxy Z Series 5G smartphones unlock exciting new experiences only possible on a foldable device, a category currently dominated by Samsung.

Ms. Chung points to global surveys showing market demand for foldable smartphones is expanding rapidly, with estimates suggesting up to 6.5 million units will be purchased in 2021[14], which is triple the amount from last year.

“From pre-order through to retail availability, consumer interest in the new Galaxy Z Series 5G has exceeded our expectations,” she says. “We believe Canadians are ready and excited to embrace this new standard in mobile.”

With its immersive screen, optional S Pen[1], reassuring durability and productivity-enhancing features, who wouldn’t be eager to give the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G a try?

For those unsure of how to get the most out of foldable devices, Samsung Newsroom has taken a close look at the device and how best to use it. Check out the user guide below to learn more about what it is like to use the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, including the device’s comfortable grip, innovative features and the compatible S Pen[2].

Question 1) Will users with smaller hands be able to use the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G comfortably?

The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is lighter, thinner and narrower than its predecessor[3], giving it a more comfortable grip and enhanced portability. The phone’s horizontal width when folded is 67.1mm, which is a 0.9mm reduction on its predecessor[4]. This means the phone provides a comfortable, snug grip, even for those with smaller hands.

The fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is also mounted at the point where the thumb touches the device, which allows for more convenient use of the device’s large cover screen. This means users no longer have to place their fingers on the screen to unlock the phone. The top, bottom and sides of the phone were also designed with bold, clean lines to provide smoother usability.

Question 2) How durable is the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G in practice?

With its significantly enhanced water resistance, users can use the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G with confidence when caught in the rain. The phone has a water resistance rating of IPX8,[5] which means it can withstand submergence in fresh water that is up to 1.5m deep for up to 30 minutes. This means you can relax when using the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G to check your map app for directions while you’re out on a drizzly day, or when you’re looking up recipes with wet hands.

And the enhanced durability of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G gives you further peace of mind. The new protective films on the phone’s main displays, for instance, increase screen durability by 80%[6] compared to its predecessor. The device also includes ‘Armor Aluminum’ and enhanced ‘Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus’, which are some of the strongest materials ever used on a Galaxy smartphone yet.

With this new resilience, you don’t have to worry about your phone getting scratched when you put it into a small bag with other items. Likewise, you can feel confident keeping your phone in your pocket with other items so that you have it on hand right away when you want to make calls or take photos.

Question 3) Is the large Main Screen really useful for viewing things?

The large, 7.6-inch[7] Main Screen on the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G really shines when it comes to watching videos, with the phone utilizing an Under Display Camera (UDC) technology to deliver a notch-less, immersive viewing experience. UDC is achieved by including light absorbing pixels in the camera area to increase light transmittance and manage the distance between pixels. What’s more, thanks to the phone’s screen being about 29% brighter than that of its predecessor[8], the user can clearly see it outdoors in bright sunlight without the need to shade or cover the screen.

In addition, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G has a refresh rate of 120Hz for both its Main and Cover screens, leading to a smooth experience when scrolling and sharing content. When the device is being used in places where it is more convenient to use the phone’s Cover Screen, like on public transport, the user can comfortably view news articles and other media and enjoy smooth, uninterrupted transitions.

Question 4) How does one best use the various productivity-enhancing features on the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G?

With ‘Multi-Active Window’[9] splitscreen capabilities, Galaxy Foldables have long been helping users enhance their productivity. This feature allows users to check their schedules and talk to friends on messenger while reading e-mails and navigating to the location of a meetup, among other things[10].

Now, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G has added the ‘Taskbar’[11] feature to help users move quickly and conveniently between apps. Not only does this allow users to launch the app that they use most often without navigating to the Home screen, but it also enables them to open their most-used combination of apps all at once[12].

‘Flex Mode Panel’, which users can use after partially folding the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, is another new feature. Navigate to the Labs menu (Settings → Advanced Features), and then select the ‘Flex Mode Panel’ option to turn this mode on. From there, when users launch an app that is compatible with the Flex Mode Panel feature, a panel will automatically appear through which they can capture their screen and adjust brightness and volume. This feature removes the need to open the phone fully to adjust these settings and is especially useful when the volume suddenly increases, when users want to capture their screens, or when their screen brightness suddenly dims.

Question 5) Which camera features are exclusive to the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G?

Now, it’s time to use the camera on the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G to take epic pictures. ‘Capture View’ on the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G allows users to view, delete, and share the pictures they have just taken without going into the Gallery app.

After launching the camera, click the capture view icon in the upper left of the screen. If users take pictures while the icon is illuminated, they will be able to check the pictures they just took on the left half of the screen. Pressing and holding onto a picture allows users to conveniently delete or share images, which comes in handy for both getting rid of the unwanted shots and sharing the favourite ones with friends.

Question 6) What are some benefits of combining the S Pen with the larger screen?

The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is the first foldable phone to support the S Pen[13]. Users can use the S Pen to draw or take notes by hand, further enhancing their productivity.

To take notes while watching online lectures or videos in Flex mode[14], simply launch Samsung Notes by double tapping the lower half of the screen while holding down the button on the side of the S Pen.

Characters that are difficult to type on a keyboard, such as Chinese and Japanese characters, are also easy to enter with the S Pen. What’s more, if users press the text conversion button before they start writing, their handwritten notes will automatically be converted into typed text. Two types of S Pen are set to be released: the ‘S Pen Fold Edition’, which can be used exclusively on the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, and the ‘S Pen Pro’, which has built-in Bluetooth and can be used with both the device and certain tablets.[15]

And the cutting-edge features and usability don’t stop there. To provide the best possible folding smartphone experience, Samsung Electronics is constantly working with a range of partners to develop apps that are optimized for the large screen of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, such as ‘Microsoft Teams’, ‘Microsoft Office’ and ‘Google Duo’.

Do you want to improve your efficiency while adding unique and enjoyable experiences to your day-to-day life? If so, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G could be the answer.

Canadians are eager to embrace post-pandemic life, and a “new normal” of hybrid working arrangements. With Financial Services employees realizing the benefits of remote work over the last year, many are hoping that a balance between remote and in-office work will become the new norm as the world reopens.

In this new era of work, Financial Services employees need technology solutions that enable them to be more flexible and productive than ever before. Having a desktop-like experience, powered by a phone or tablet, prepares them for whatever the day calls for, whether that’s a day in the office, heading off-site to meet with clients or a day of working remotely.

According to Paul Edwards, Vice President & General Manager of Enterprise Mobility at Samsung Canada, technology gaps related to the post-pandemic work environment will reveal themselves over the coming months. “With a significant number of employees looking to make hybrid work arrangements permanent, they’re going to assess whether or not they have the tools to support their mobility and enable them to multi-task and work across multiple devices in any environment,” he notes.

Greater flexibility to work from your select location

Busy bankers, investors and finance professionals require technology that makes it easy to get the job done, regardless of where they’re working. Solutions like Samsung DeX enable a flexible, work-from-your favourite location approach.

With Samsung DeX, employees can trigger a desktop-like experience from their mobile smartphone or tables. DeX can be activated both wirelessly or through a wired connection. Through a wireless[1] connection to a Smart TV or a Smart Monitor, they can use their mobile device to cast presentations or important files onto a bigger screen for clear viewing.

When connecting their mobile device to a PC or monitor through a USB or cable, Samsung DeX enables a desktop-like experience replete with mouse and keyboard capabilities, drag and drop functionality and contextual menus. Financial Services employees can seamlessly open and share files, complete tasks, and save files easily to their mobile devices, just as they would on a real desktop.

And with the addition of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), employees can access cloud-based corporate apps and documents remotely right from their Galaxy device for a consistent desktop experience.

While using DeX, avid notetakers and collaborators can use the redesigned S Pen or S Pen Pro for the latest Galaxy devices – now an optional addition for the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and included in-box with the Galaxy Tab S7+ – to jot down ideas, share them with colleagues and edit documents in real time, allowing them to get even more done while working from their smartphone or tablet.

With the ability to pair Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro with their Galaxy smartphone or tablet, employees have even greater flexibility to take work calls from any location without compromising audio quality. Crystal-clear call quality allows employees to confidently lead a virtual meeting or share feedback on a call, knowing that their voice is coming through loud and clear.

Premium productivity for the fast-paced executive

In the fast-paced world of finance, corporate executives need mobile devices that allow them to perform their best work efficiently. Samsung Galaxy mobile devices are built for productivity first.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G allows corporate executives to do more with less equipment. A three-in-one solution designed for ultimate productivity, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is a phone when folded; a slim tablet when unfolded, and when connected to DeX, it powers a desktop-like experience  – ideal for multitasking executives who do most of their work on their mobile device.

“The new Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is the mobile workhorse the post-pandemic executive needs,” said Edwards. “From work, to home, to a business dinner, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G acts as a functional workspace for wherever the day takes them, with a foldable screen that can be adjusted for a side-by-side view of multiple windows, or turned into one, expansive display.”

Executives can drag and drop text, and work across three apps at once, giving them a powerful mobile workspace that folds to fit in their pocket. With the first S Pen-compatible Galaxy Z Series device[2], they can even jot down notes while video calling — no paper necessary.

With all that multi-tasking and work on the go, busy executives need battery life to power through their days. The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G comes with an all-day battery[3] and 25W Super Fast Charging[4] so more time is spent on taking care of business.

Supporting employees’ wellness and fitness goals

Ideally, cutting-edge technology won’t just give employees the tools they need to perform their jobs, but also help them be their best selves – which means supporting their wellness and fitness. This is especially vital today, as the lines between work and home life have become increasingly blurred.

“It’s no secret that employees have been more sedentary since the pandemic hit, as their typical routines and commutes to and from work have been upended,” said Edwards. “Corporate employers can do their part to support wellness by offering employees tools that help them be more aware of their well-being. The savviest employers will even take this one step further by instituting incentives and contests to help encourage movement.”

For those turning to technology for workplace well-being, the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 is equipped to help employees track workouts, monitor their blood oxygen level[5], and for the very first time, calculate their body mass composition. Employees can also choose from a wide range of guided workouts, and take part in Group Challenges with their friends, family or co-workers.

With call and text capabilities, employees can easily connect their Galaxy Buds Pro to their Watch to accommodate work or personal calls while out for a mid-day walk or light jog. Equipped with Active Noise Cancellation, the Buds Pro cut out external background noise so workers can block out ambient noise stemming from a busy household or neighbourhood street.

As more and more companies announce their return-to-office plans, demand for technology that can help Financial Service employees do more with less, and maximize mobility, will increase dramatically.

While the future of work may look different than we’re used to, the right tools and technologies can support employees in the new mobile-centric workplace. From flexibility to productivity to wellness, Samsung is committed to delivering technology solutions that help Financial Services employees on all fronts.
