Can Your Teams Work Beyond Their Desks?

The business world is changing, and companies need to adapt to keep pace. Professionals are moving beyond the confines of traditional office spaces, making flexibility a necessity for efficient and effective working. This shift has sparked a growing demand for lighter, more compact tools that support mobility without compromising performance. While laptops and desktops still play a key role, they don’t always offer the agility today’s hybrid professionals need.

Powering this shift are foldable phones, which have outgrown their origins as compact phones that deliver laptop-like displays to become hubs of productivity, collaboration, and innovation. With their ability to switch between compact and expansive screen modes, foldable phones uniquely adapt to both quick tasks and deep-focus work. This gives professionals the flexibility of a phone and the functionality of a tablet in one device. With evolving priorities and a growing need to multitask in the workplace, these devices are a welcome addition across a wide range of industries.

The newly launched Galaxy Z Fold7  and Galaxy Z Flip7 are engineered to meet the complex and dynamic demands of the modern business world. These devices offer features and functions that bridge creativity, agility, and enterprise-grade performance—making them perfect to address common challenges in the modern workplace.

Today’s professionals shift fluidly between roles and responsibilities. This can create an environment where attention easily wanders, resulting in mental overload which silently chips away at productivity and decision-making quality. With the constant shift between roles, teams require tools that are agile enough to handle different tasks.

To truly power a mobile-first workforce, businesses need to invest in devices that support seamless multitasking, smooth transitions between apps and tasks, and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Devices like the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 are purposefully built to help teams stay focussed while managing multiple streams of work. For businesses, this means fewer delays, faster decision-making, and less reliance on traditional ways of working—like reviewing hard copies of documents or working on multiple devices at once. 

The newly launched Galaxy Z Series helps to mitigate multitasking challenges by improving how teams manage their tasks. Through advanced AI features, like Quick Answers and Actions, teams are able to manage emails, messages, and meetings using voice or text commands. This empowers teams to work hands-free—a key benefit for workers who are constantly on the move.

For teams who work across borders, real-time collaboration is of utmost importance and having devices that support this is essential. With AI-powered features, like Conversational Gemini Live¹, teams can speak to their devices to enable screen sharing and video streaming within conversations. This allows teams to quickly align on projects and receive feedback, regardless of their locations.

While recognising the benefits, a fit-for-purpose solution must also incorporate the needs of all workers—particularly those who struggle with complex work tasks on small screens. Recognising this concern, the Galaxy Z Series is equipped with a large fold-out screen that supports a Multi Window feature. With this feature, employees can view documents or websites while drafting content—all within a single view. To further boost productivity, Galaxy AI now powers seamless actions across apps² which makes context switching between apps effortless. This helps to preserve momentum and minimise disruptions that typically affect productivity. 

Modern businesses move fast, with approvals needed in minutes and meetings scheduled throughout the day. But work doesn’t wait for employees to get back to their desks. In this environment, businesses need to embrace a mobile-first approach to allow their employees to be reachable, but not tethered to a specific physical location.

Devices that are lightweight, portable, and equipped with fast-charging capabilities and easily accessible apps are now essential for businesses. When leaders and teams have reliable tools that move with them, businesses will experience smoother collaboration and stronger client relationships.

Built for these fast-paced environments, the sleek, durable form of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 make them highly portable. This offers employees a comfortable one-hand grip with an immersive viewing experience. Complemented by Galaxy AI, these foldable phones are built to think like personal assistants. With features like AI Select³ , employees are given smart suggestions of apps and actions based on the on-screen content. This simplifies approval processes by offering employees quicker access to files, writing and editing tools, and communication apps. 

To help teams stay on top of work, the Galaxy Z Series now offers a Personalised Now Bar which provides information—like calendar reminders or directions home—that is tailored based on your daily routine. While, the Now Brief⁴ offers summarised notifications based on Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 from learned user behaviour. These AI-powered enhancements keep teams informed, adapting to their routines and anticipating their needs.

In today’s hybrid work environment, clarity and focus are essential. With accessories like the Galaxy Buds3 Pro and Galaxy Buds3, teams can stay fully engaged in meetings, even in noisy or unpredictable settings. These advanced wireless earbuds use intelligent noise control to minimise distractions and enhance audio clarity, enabling more meaningful participation and sharper communication across distributed teams.

With the right tools in hand, a digital transformation becomes less about enabling remote work and more about empowering people to do their best work, wherever they are.

There used to be a clear divide between mobile convenience and desktop power. But those days are in the past! Gone are the days when business apps and websites worked best on laptops and mobile versions were viewed as limited, watered-down alternatives.

Today’s mobile devices have bridged this gap, offering enhanced cross-platform functionality for the tools businesses are already using. Teams can now execute high-impact work entirely from their mobile devices, without compromising quality or capability. For businesses, this opens up new ways of working as tasks can be completed on just one device.

With devices powered by a secure, open operating system (OS), teams have access to multiple business apps to support the work they do. The all-new Galaxy Z Series has been further enhanced to support essential business apps such as Microsoft Office, Zoom, Google, and other collaboration platforms. This streamlines workflows and enables professionals to work with the confidence of a desktop experience, albeit from a foldable phone. 

The inclusion of Samsung DeX further transforms the mobile experience, allowing employees to turn their smartphones into a desktop-like setup—giving them a portable workstation. Complemented by Link to Windows, employees can seamlessly synchronise files, apps, and messages across Galaxy devices and Windows laptops for an uninterrupted workflow.

This level of integration means businesses can confidently mobilise hybrid or remote work policies. Ultimately, this will reduce overhead costs while giving employees the freedom to work wherever and however they perform best. 

The greater the flexibility, the greater the risk. As professionals move from one place to the next, switching from one device to another, it becomes even more difficult to safeguard data. This means device security is now more important than ever. Businesses must now thoroughly evaluate devices to ensure that data remains secure, especially if employees are using these devices for both work and personal purposes.

To mitigate the risks of a mobile-first approach, businesses should look into deploying enterprise-grade devices or invest in enterprise mobility solutions. Devices that offer built-in safeguards—like the Galaxy Z Series—ensure that the flexibility of remote access doesn’t come at the expense of control. With Galaxy Enterprise Edition, businesses are given one year of Knox Suite access and up to seven years⁵ of ongoing security and OS updates. For IT teams, this means they can effortlessly deploy, manage, and secure device fleets at scale.

Device security hinges on how devices are protected at a fundamental level. To enhance device security, businesses can now enable Zero Trust network solutions on the Galaxy Z Series via Microsoft Intune or Cisco Zero Trust Network Access. This ensures that only authorised users can access devices and its data, giving businesses peace of mind, knowing their workforce is operating on secured devices.

Businesses also need to consider how device usage will impact device security. Allowing employees to use one device for both work and personal use can be a double-edged sword. To prevent data breaches, Samsung Account for Business creates a separation between work and personal profiles. This gives employees access to Galaxy AI features without having to link their personal accounts, protecting both personal and company data. With the added support of Samsung Care+ for Business⁶, companies receive comprehensive coverage for accidental damage, extended warranties, and expedited repairs. This long-term commitment to protection ensures that devices remain resilient against evolving cyberthreats. 

As we shift towards a mobile-first era of business, companies must equip their teams with devices that help them fluidly navigate this new environment. The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 are flexible in functionality and enterprise-grade reliability, making them assets that will power a company’s digital transformation. The question now is, are you ready for the future of work?
