Samsung Electronics has unveiled the new Galaxy A18, bringing more capable performance, long-term reliability and core AI experiences to users. Designed around the moments that matter – from streaming content and capturing memories to getting things done – the new Galaxy A18 combines meaningful upgrades with the dependable Galaxy experience.

More than payments: Samsung Wallet puts everyday convenience at your fingertips

Making everyday transactions simpler, the Galaxy A18 features Samsung Wallet, an all-in-one digital wallet that goes beyond bank card payments.

Every eligible tap or scan to pay also offers opportunities to earn rewards, making everyday spending more rewarding.

It is a small yet practical difference that helps make every day errands feel more seamless. The Galaxy A18 LTE also comes equipped with One UI 9.0, giving users an alternative to scan DuitNow QR codes directly with their camera application for quick and easy payments.

The experience is backed by Samsung Knox security, alongside six years of operating system and security updates for the Galaxy A18¹, providing greater confidence in both everyday transactions and long-term device use. Rewards points earned can also be redeemed for vouchers through Samsung Wallet or used to enjoy discounts when upgrading to new Samsung products, giving users more ways to get value from their everyday purchases.

Powered by upgraded LPDDR5 memory², the device enables faster app launches and seamless multitasking, with quicker data transfer speeds supporting more responsive performance and efficient processing for AI-powered tasks, while reducing power consumption by 20%. Equipped with RAM Plus³, which uses available storage to add on up to 6GB of virtual memory, the Galaxy A18 is designed to keep apps running smoothly in the background and enable seamless switching between apps and tasks. RAM Plus can also be enabled for an extra boost during activities such as gaming, or switched off to preserve storage for photos and videos.

The device also features a true versatile triple-camera system comprising a 50MP rear wide camera, 5MP ultra-wide camera and 2MP macro camera, giving users greater creative freedom to capture different perspectives. From expansive landscapes and group photos to detailed close-ups, the Galaxy A18 makes it easy to frame every scene just the way you want.

The Galaxy A18 introduces a more intuitive ways to search, discover and get things done. With enhanced Circle to Search⁴, users can circle or tap content on their screen to search for information without typing or switching between apps. A new Find the Look feature allows users to search for an entire outfit or identify music playing nearby.

The device now comes with multiple AI agents that help users move more seamlessly between supported Galaxy native apps, Google apps and selected third-party applications. Through voice commands or a long press, users can ask Gemini or Perplexity to activate supported apps, helping them complete tasks more intuitively across different services.

The Galaxy A18 features enhanced durability with IP64-rated protection against dust and water splashes⁵, while Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3⁶ provides added durability and scratch resistance to the front of the device. It also incorporates a glass-fiber-reinforced polymer back cover that is thinner and stronger, delivering greater strength while maintaining a slim profile.

From belting out your favourite chorus to catching that unforgettable moment when your favourite artist takes the stage, concerts are all about memories worth reliving. And with a stellar line-up dotting a busy season of concerts in Malaysia like Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza and BTS bringing fans together, Malaysia’s concert scene is giving music lovers plenty to look forward to.

But while the live experience is unmatched, capturing it on your phone is a different story. Dim lighting, artists performing from a distance and the excitement of singing, dancing and jumping along can make getting that perfect shot a challenge. Nobody wants to look back at their concert gallery only to find blurry videos, grainy photos or footage that shakes with every beat.

Enter the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, a smartphone built on the Galaxy S Series’ camera DNA to help fans capture more of the moments that make live music special. With its powerful camera capabilities, ProVisual Engine and Super Steady Video with Horizontal Lock, it gives concertgoers more ways to bring home the sights, sounds and excitement of a night to remember.

Never Lose Sight of Your Favourite Moments

On an action-packed stage, you might lose focus on your favourite artists. Fortunately, the Galaxy S26 FE also features a My FanCam¹, a game changer in creating your favourite concert content. A feature introduced with the latest Galaxy Z8 Series, My FanCam lets you keep focus on who you want, always helping you get the shot you want.

Jump, Sing and Dance. Let Super Steady Handle the Action.

A concert is not exactly the place to stand perfectly still. You are singing along, jumping to the beat, waving your hands and reacting to every surprise on stage. Trying to record all that excitement while keeping your phone steady can be a challenge in itself.

With Super Steady² Video, the Galaxy S26 FE helps you capture smoother footage while you move with the music. Its Horizontal Lock feature combines expanded optical angles with gyro and acceleration sensors to recognise the direction of gravity and keep your video level, even when you rotate the phone through a full 360 degrees.

That means you can focus on enjoying the moment without worrying quite as much about every movement affecting your footage. From recording an energetic chorus to capturing the crowd singing in unison, Super Steady Video helps keep your memories smoother and easier to watch back.

When the Lights Go Down, Your Camera Should Step Up

Concerts are a visual spectacle, from dramatic spotlights sweeping across the stage to colourful LED displays illuminating the arena. Yet, these atmospheric lighting conditions can be challenging for smartphone cameras, often resulting in grainy images or lost details just when the show gets good.

The Galaxy S26 FE helps make those after-dark memories worth keeping, with low-light capabilities designed to produce clearer, brighter photos and videos while reducing noise and preserving important details. Whether it is the anticipation before the opening act, a sea of fans waving their light sticks or the emotional finale of a favourite song, you can capture the atmosphere without letting the darkness steal the moment.

Powered by Samsung’s ProVisual Engine³, the Galaxy S26 FE enhances image quality and helps preserve detail across a wide range of shooting situations. The result? Sharp details, vibrant colours and lifelike clarity, with less effort required from you. So, when the stage lights hit and the crowd erupts, you can spend less time worrying about your camera settings and more time enjoying the show.

Your Favourite Artists, Closer Than Ever

Whether you are seated in the upper tiers or standing among thousands of fans, your favourite artist can sometimes feel a little too far away.

That is where the Galaxy S26 FE’s 50MP camera and zoom capabilities come into play. Designed to help preserve details, textures and colours, its high-resolution camera gives you more flexibility to capture the action on stage, from an artist’s signature outfit to those expressive moments between songs.

Instead of settling for a distant figure surrounded by bright lights, you can bring more of the performance into focus and capture photos that help you relive the experience. It is especially useful when your favourite singer hits that iconic note, your favourite band launches into its biggest anthem or the entire arena lights up for a crowd-favourite song.

Beyond Photography

The Galaxy S26 FE also brings AI experiences closer to home for Malaysian users. Samsung is expanding Galaxy AI language support to include Malay across features such as Call Assist, Note Assist, Interpreter and Transcript Assist, making it easier to translate conversations, interpret notes, and work across voice recordings in a language Malaysians use every day. Now Nudge also adds Malay language support, helping users get relevant suggestions based on what is on their screen. It’s another step by Samsung towards making AI more accessible and useful in daily life.

2. Super Steady results may vary depending on editing method and/or shooting conditions ︎

Samsung is expanding language support for Galaxy AI and Bixby, bringing these experiences to more users in their own language.

Galaxy AI is expanding language support across more of its features, starting with those that translate, transcribe and summarize. Call Assist, Note Assist, Interpreter and Transcript Assist now include Hungarian and Malay, bringing features such as Live Translate to 24 languages¹.

Elsewhere in Galaxy AI, Now Nudge, which suggests a relevant next step based on what is on screen, add eight languages² to reach 24 as well.

Bixby is a device agent that offers intuitive device control through natural conversation. Users can ask for what they need in their own words, without having to know the exact name of a setting or where to find it in a menu. With the addition of Polish, Thai and Vietnamese, Bixby now supports 12 languages³, allowing more Galaxy users to control their devices more effortlessly.

Bixby’s new languages will begin rolling out on October 14⁴, with the new Galaxy AI languages to follow in the coming weeks⁵.

Most of the time, social groups consist of different individuals, who each brings a unique personality and contributes in their own special way. There’s the organized friend who always knows what’s happening, the one behind the camera whose main task is to capture every memory, the resourceful friend who often has the answer to everything, and the dependable friend who’s there through every stage of life.

Equipped with Galaxy AI, intelligent productivity features and powerful camera capabilities, the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE delivers flagship Galaxy experiences focused on what matters most, from staying productive throughout the day to capturing memorable moments and expressing creativity.

The friend who always knows what’s going on

Every friendship group has that one person who somehow always seems one step ahead. Whether it’s keeping track of assignment deadlines, getting ready for work meetings or coordinating weekend plans and reminding everyone of an upcoming birthday, they’re the person you can count on to keep things running smoothly.

The Galaxy S26 FE takes on that role with intelligent tools designed to help users stay organized. Before even stepping out the door, Now Brief¹ surfaces personalized updates at a glance, bringing together information such as upcoming events in your calendar, weather forecasts, and daily highlights in a single view, making sure users are up to speed before starting their day.

Beyond providing helpful updates and information, the Galaxy S26 FE has Now Nudge² which surfaces timely suggestions based on what users are doing. Supporting users to complete everyday tasks with less effort, Now Nudge can help add a meeting date being discussed in a conversation directly to the calendar, as well as quickly retrieve previously captured notes and images from the gallery.

The friend who captures every special moment

There’s always someone in the group who makes sure no memory goes undocumented. It could be a weekend getaway with friends, cheering from the sidelines at a sporting event, or celebrating a professional milestone. Regardless of the event, they’re the one capturing the memories that everyone will look back on years later.

The Galaxy S26 FE comes equipped with intelligent camera features designed to help users capture, edit and share life’s meaningful moments with the ones who matter.

Be it focusing on a favourite artist at a concert, supporting a friend’s performance on stage or revisiting the action from a sporting event, My FanCam³ helps keep the spotlight on the person that matters most.  By intelligently reframing recorded footage to focus on the chosen subject, this nifty editing feature requires less manual effort to get the videos you want.

Meanwhile, Super Steady⁴ Video with Horizontal Lock makes it easier to record dynamic moments with confidence. From filming dance practice and workout sessions, to outdoor adventures with loved ones, Super Steady will help you capture smoother and more level footage.

Additionally, some of life’s best moments happen when night falls – like after-work gatherings or parties after sunset. Nightography⁵ on the Galaxy S26 FE helps users capture bright and clear photos and videos, even in low-light environments.

And of course, memories are meant to be shared. Once the moment has been captured, Photo Assist⁶ makes it easy to refine images by helping users adjust compositions, remove distractions and make edits using natural language prompts, turning everyday snapshots into social-worthy content, and all with minimal effort. With Gemini Omni⁷, users can also easily create and edit video clips using photos and videos from their Gallery, transforming memorable moments into polished videos.

The resourceful friend who always has the answer

Many friendship groups have that one person who always has the answer. Whether it’s helping friends identify an outfit they spotted online, finding out where to buy a particular accessory or tracking down a restaurant featured in a social media post, they’re often the one everyone turns to when they need help.

The Galaxy S26 FE can play that part with AI-powered experiences designed to help users explore and discover information more intuitively.

Circle to Search with Google⁸ enables users to search for multiple items in an image at once – for example, they can easily identify and retrieve information about different pieces of clothing or accessories that make up on outfit that catches their attention. 

The reliable friend who always has your back

The reliable friend is the one who’s there through all the seasons. They show up when it matters, keep things moving, and stay by your side through changing schedules, new opportunities, and whatever else life may bring.

Similarly, the Galaxy S26 FE is built with long-term reliability in mind. It is designed to support up to 29 hours of video playback to keep up with demanding schedules so users don’t need to worry about the next charge. Freely move between classes, tackle busy days and spend evenings out with friends, knowing the Galaxy S26 FE is built to keep pace with the moments that matter most.

The ever-reliable friend also stays by your side through the years and in similar fashion, users can count on the Galaxy S26 FE. With up to seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates⁹, your Galaxy S26 FE will be future-proofed for a long time to remain secure, up to date and equipped with the latest experiences.

With intelligent Galaxy AI experiences, versatile camera capabilities and a dependable foundation built for everyday life, the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE is designed to support users through every moment. Whether you are trying to stay organized, capture memories, find answers or power through busy days, the Galaxy S26 FE is the everyday friend that’s always ready to lend a hand.

Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Tab S12+ feature immersive displays and come bundled with the ergonomically designed S Pen for effortless note-taking and precise editing. With easy access to professional-grade apps and versatile accessories, users can pursue their passions and progress toward their goals with ease. Combining portability with professional-grade power, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series gives users instant access to powerful capabilities whenever inspiration strikes.

“The Galaxy Tab S12 Series is designed for people who are constantly exploring new ideas, developing new skills and bringing their ambitions to life,” said Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Built with industry-leading hardware, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series pairs an expansive screen with the power of Galaxy AI — removing friction from complex tasks so users can stay focused on achieving impactful results.”

Peak Performance in an Ultra-Thin Design

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series combines powerful performance and long-lasting battery life into a thin and light design, making it easy for users to achieve more, wherever ambition takes them. At a remarkably slim 5.1mm, Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is Samsung’s thinnest Galaxy Tab, while delivering the most powerful performance of any Galaxy Tab to date, supporting productive use throughout the day. For example, users taking an online course alongside a full-time job can catch up on a lesson during the commute, then work through course exercises on the large screen at a café or library later in the day.

Both models are built to go the distance, allowing users to keep going without losing momentum. On a single charge, the all-day battery lasts up to 23 hours on Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra² and up to 21 hours on Galaxy Tab S12+³, supporting long stretches of productivity anywhere. When it is time to recharge, the battery goes from 0% to 100% in about 95 minutes with the 45W adapter — minimizing downtime so users can get back to what they were doing⁴.

Beyond long-lasting battery life, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series delivers the most powerful performance of any Galaxy Tab to date, keeping pace with even intensive tasks. The cutting-edge 3nm processor delivers up to 61% faster NPU processing, 19% faster CPU performance and 17% improved GPU power compared to Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra⁵. In everyday use, that means users can take on more demanding tasks with increased speed and responsiveness. Whether rendering complex creative projects or watching a lecture while taking notes and asking AI for clarification — the experience stays responsive and fast with fewer interruptions to break their focus.

A newly designed 3D Vapor Chamber efficiently dissipates heat to support more reliable performance during demanding tasks, whether users are editing video or designing graphics for hours⁶. Engineered for resilience and durability to withstand the elements and give users peace of mind, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series also comes with IP68-rated water and dust resistance⁷.

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series comes with an expansive screen designed to help users think bigger and give ideas more room to unfold. Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra features a large 14.6-inch display, making it easy to explore complex topics and keep multiple perspectives in view. The Galaxy Tab S12+ features a larger 12.6-inch display and slimmer bezels than its predecessor, offering more screen space without sacrificing portability. Both models feature Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays reaching up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness⁸ — delivering clear, vivid visuals indoors or out. The upgraded seamless Vision Booster now adjusts brightness in real time based on lighting conditions for comfortable viewing.

Sound gets a major upgrade as well, with 4-channel spatial audio — twice as many channels as the previous generation — delivering a richer, more immersive experience whether users are streaming content, following a tutorial or editing.

Making Everyday Tasks More Intuitive and Effortless

Building on an industry-leading hardware foundation, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series turns its large screen into a flexible workspace that makes it easy to keep up with different tasks without missing a beat. Running Android 17 with One UI 9 and the latest Galaxy AI, it brings research, note-taking, creation and AI assistance into one place, giving users more freedom to explore new ideas, capture what matters and put what they learn into practice.

Thanks to the Galaxy Tab S12 Series’ immersive screen, users can split the screen into up to three sections in Multi Window layout. For example, users can take notes in Samsung Notes on one side while playing a lecture and opening an AI assistant on the other. As key takeaways or questions come up, users can capture them with the S Pen directly in Samsung Notes, while Note Assist⁹ summarizes their notes¹⁰ – all without pausing the lecture.

Both models come bundled with an ergonomic S Pen, offering precise, intuitive input for note-taking, annotating materials, and sketching concepts. For a more structured, professional workstation, the Book Cover Keyboard Slim delivers flexibility with comfortable viewing angles and an effortless typing experience alongside the Galaxy AI Key that enables instant access to AI assistants¹¹.

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series helps users bring information together and get real-time support the moment curiosity strikes. The Galaxy Tab S12 Series comes equipped with a six-month trial of Google AI Pro¹², providing expanded access to Google’s most capable AI models from day one. Users can ask Gemini about anything unclear or dive deeper into subjects they want to explore the moment a question comes up. With Gemini Notebook, users can bring together notes, images, recordings, and files in one workspace and create summaries, podcasts, and even quizzes to make key information easier to understand.

A Complete Ecosystem Designed to Take Skills and Creativity Further

Adobe Photoshop¹³ comes pre-loaded on the Galaxy Tab S12 Series — a first for Android tablets — bringing pro-grade image editing and design to the tablet. The interface is optimized for tablets, and S Pen support makes it more intuitive to move ideas from hand to screen. Photoshop includes AI-powered features including AI Assistant¹⁴ and generative AI features powered by Adobe Firefly like Generative Fill and Image to Video, helping creatives edit faster and effortlessly. Exclusively for the Galaxy Tab S12 Series, users receive four months of free access to the Photoshop mobile plan.

The Galaxy Z Fold8 brings together powerful performance and intelligent experiences in a fresh form factor that adapts to the way people work, create and stay connected. Across Southeast Asia and Oceania, tech creators have been putting the device to the test, trying out their favorite apps on the expansive display, exploring Galaxy AI features, and discovering just how easy it is to make the switch to a new Galaxy device.

Watch them share their experiences below.

Slim and Sleek: The Lightest Galaxy Z Fold Yet

At only 201g, the Galaxy Z Fold8 is incredibly lightweight and reviewers across the region have been impressed by its slim profile.

Davis Fang Tech from Australia highlights the portability of the device, noting that it fits perfectly in a pocket when folded and is also extremely light at just 201g.

Durability: Built for Everyday Confidence

Samsung’s new Flex Titanium technology helps support a slimmer display structure with long-term durability and reduced crease visibility over time.

YugaTech from the Philippines shares more about device’s sturdy hinges. Thin but strong, the Galaxy Z Fold8 is engineered to withstand the demands of daily use while maintaining the flexibility users expect from a foldable device.

Galaxy AI: AI Experiences Optimized for the Foldable Form Factor

Equipped with Galaxy AI, the Galaxy Z Fold8 brings AI assistance to everyday tasks. From productivity and content creation, to communication and search, Galaxy AI helps users get more done while taking full advantage of the foldable form factor.

Watch as @TechNave from Malaysia shows how Now Nudge is even more useful on the Galaxy Fold8’s large display. By recognizing what is shown on the screen and suggesting relevant next steps in a side-by-side view, Now Nudge helps users continue what they are doing without interruption. When planning a meet-up with friends, for example, users can check on their schedule or save a location while keeping the conversation screen open.

Built for Discovery – A Display Optimized for Content Consumption

The Galaxy Z Fold8’s display ratios are designed around the way people consume content throughout the day. Whether it’s streaming videos, scrolling through social media, or reading e-books, the expansive display adapts to different types of content for a more natural and immersive viewing experience.

Bobby Tonelli from Singapore demonstrates how the Galaxy Z Fold8’s display is perfect for anything from watching videos and enjoying movies, to comfortably reading e-books.

Smart Switch: Moving to Galaxy Made Easy

Whether upgrading from another Galaxy device or switching from a different brand, Smart Switch helps users conveniently transfer photos, contacts, messages, settings and more, making it easier to start using the Galaxy Z Fold8 from day one.

Bestindotech from Indonesia shows just how simple it is to wirelessly set up the new device — less manual effort required and no need for any additional apps. With the updated Smart Switch, users can scan a QR code and transfer data wirelessly — including passwords, passkeys, call history, accessibility settings and eSIM data — without downloading additional apps.

When shopping for a new phone, you’ve probably read reviews and watched comparison videos in search of the “best” device.

While rankings can be helpful, they can’t answer the most important question: which phone is best for me? That answer depends on personal considerations like how you prefer to work, create and stay connected throughout your day.

Why Does Samsung Offer Multiple Foldable Form Factors?

The best foldable isn’t the same for everyone. That’s exactly why Samsung offers three distinct foldable designs with the new Galaxy Z series.

Whether you want to consolidate with a single mobile device that can power through your to-do list, a screen built for streaming and reading, or looking for something more compact and convenient, Galaxy Z series has options.

Through eight generations of refinement, Samsung understands what users want most from foldables. The new Galaxy Z series is the result of all that experience. Every device delivers in the areas users care about most: displays, durability, portability and performance.

Which Galaxy Z Foldable Is Right for You?

The latest Galaxy Z series offers a range of innovative foldable form factors: the compact Galaxy Z Flip8, the brand-new Galaxy Z Fold8, and the powerful Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.

Deciding which is right for you ultimately depends on what you want from your smartphone experience, and how your phone fits into your life.

Choose Galaxy Z Flip8 if you want:

• Maximum portability from Samsung’s slimmest and lightest Z series device
• An experience built around self-expression and capturing great selfies
• Everyday convenience for quick tasks without opening your phone

Choose Galaxy Z Fold8 if you’re looking for:

• A new foldable shape designed for modern content formats
• An immersive viewing experience for watching, reading and gaming
• Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet

Choose Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra if you prioritize:

• Samsung’s top-of-the-line experience reserved for Ultra devices
• Multitasking on an expansive 8-inch folding main screen¹
• Productivity and flagship performance
• The versatile and capable camera system in the Galaxy Z series

Across the lineup, the durability of the Galaxy Z series is complemented by Galaxy’s latest mobile AI² experiences and software optimized for each form factor, giving you a bespoke experience built around each unique design.

The best phone is the one that fits your life, and Samsung Galaxy’s portfolio is designed to help you find it. From Galaxy Z TriFold³ introduced earlier this year to the latest Galaxy Z series, Samsung is committed to evolving its foldable portfolio to meet a wide range of needs and lifestyles.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra may be recognizable for its 8-inch folding main display, but the device’s real benefit is more than simply having a larger screen.

Building on established Galaxy tools such as Multi Window¹ and Samsung DeX, new context-aware experiences for foldables, such as Now Nudge,² help keep more of a task visible and make it easier to move from one step to the next without constantly switching apps. Whether you’re researching, planning a trip or editing content, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra adapts to the way you work, helping you accomplish more from a single device.

Why Is Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra Good for Productivity?

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra can transition from its 6.5-inch cover screen to its expansive 8-inch main screen³ without losing your place. Start with an app while the device is folded, then open it to continue right where you left off with more room to examine a photo, comfortably review a spreadsheet or work across supported apps side by side.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy,⁴ 5,000 mAh battery⁵ and expanded graphite cooling structure help keep the device responsive during demanding multitasking, content creation and AI-powered tasks. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is like a mobile workspace that can adapt to the task at hand.

How Do I Use Multiple Apps at Once?

Multi Window lets you run supported apps side by side on the main screen. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra supports two-way and three-way split view, and you can resize the individual windows to suit your task. Check your calendar while replying to a message, search the web while reviewing a presentation, or use a calculator while reviewing your budget. You can also open supported apps in pop-up view when you want a movable, resizable window over your existing workspace.

You can even quickly access frequently used apps from the Taskbar at the bottom of the main screen, like you would on a tablet. If you regularly use the same apps together — such as Calendar and Messages — you can save them as an app pair and reopen the combination in split view with one tap.

What Is Now Nudge and How Does it Work?

With Now Nudge, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra automatically recognizes what you’re doing and proactively suggests what you might want to do next. For example, if you’re messaging about meeting up with a friend for dinner, it might suggest adding it to your calendar. When you tap to open your calendar app, the conversation stays visible on one side of your screen, helping you move forward without losing context or manually switching between windows.

What Is Samsung DeX and How Does It Work on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra?

Samsung DeX makes it possible to use Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra in a desktop-like workspace. Connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse⁶ to work across multiple apps in resizable windows, use a desktop-style taskbar and navigate with a cursor for a complete mobile workstation.
