Got Galaxy Z Fold 5? Here’s how to benefit from the Galaxy ecosystem

But that reveals one of the major shortcomings of a modern phone: to make best use of all its potential, you really have to make it the centerpiece of a robust ecosystem to complement and augment its usefulness. 

And when we're talking about those, one company has become a synonym of a rich ecosystem that has just about any solution to your hardware and software needs, be it an accessory or a whole other device to use seamlessly with your phone – Apple. Aside from the iPhone, Apple will happily sell you an iPad, or a MacBook, and a pair of AirPods, of course, and all of these will seamlessly work with one another, giving you a cohesive experience. 

If you have a Galaxy Z Fold 5 phone and a tablet or PC, the dedicated Samsung Flow service is probably the easiest way to get some neat continuity features on your companion device. What's Samsung Flow? Well, in its essence this one is a handover service that allows your phone to communicate with your tablet or a PC, but it allows for so much more:

To make use of Samsung Flow, you will need a Galaxy phone as well as the Samsung Flow companion app that's available for Android tablets and Windows PCs. MacOS is not supported right now. 

The S Pen seems to be the very best accessory you might consider for your Galaxy Z Fold 5. The extra functionality delivered by the stylus is unmatched and unlocks a whole new layer of capabilities for your device. 

Take notes? Sure thing. Draw something to pass the time? You got it, buddy. Make a creative screenshot of a select screen area? The world is your proverbial oyster, pal!

With an S Pen in tow, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 turns into the pipe dream of all Galaxy Note users from back in the day, which seemingly always longed for a large S Pen-capable device. Sure, the display crease slightly affects the writing experience, but nothing too extreme.

In order to make best use of the S Pen, you should also consider getting a matching S Pen for the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which is also sold separately.
