Use your Galaxy phone's Calculator, Calendar, and Clock apps
Your Galaxy phone includes some important apps like the Calendar, Calculator, and Clock apps. Not only are these apps easy to use, but they’ll help you with daily tasks like keeping track of upcoming dates, converting measurements, and setting alarms. The Clock app even has a World clock option so you can check the current time in different cities.
