In addition, the phone was compatible with Multi-Window, which allowed multitasking by displaying different content on each screen at the same time.

For example, users could appreciate the convenience of the panel[2] Flex mode, which opens a touchpad compatible with a series of gestures at the bottom of the screen. Like a cursor on a computer, users could easily control various elements with a flick of a finger: pause, rewind or play video without lifting the device. Another productivity-enhancing feature is the multitasking-optimized swipe gesture. So if users swipe up with two fingers, the screen will split into upper and lower halves to open a new app. With a swipe gesture, frequently used Galaxy features such as zooming in and out or turning pages are faster and more convenient.
