Now you’ve got a 5.7in Quad HD display in your hands – how are you going to use it? How does a treasure trove of amazing television shows and movies sound? You already know about Netflix, sure, but here’s your reminder that it’s awesome on the go, especially when you’ve got a fabulous screen to watch it all on. The service’s selection is better than ever, and we’ll happily point you towards things to watch. (Subscription required.)

Adobe Lightroom (Free)
Adobe Lightroom (Free)
The 16-megapixel shooter on the Edge+ is the same seen on the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge – which means it’s one of the absolutely best phone cameras on the market. If you’re serious about shooting on the go, then you’ll want great tools to use when mobile, as well. Adobe’s Lightroom is one of the best apps for tweaking and managing your photos, and while it might tax lesser phones, your Edge+ should have no problem. (Requires Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.)

Implosion – Never Lose Hope (Free)
Implosion – Never Lose Hope (Free)
One of the best ways to show off a fancy new phone is to download a hot 3D game and put it through its paces. We recommend starting with Implosion – Never Lose Hope, one of the best examples of a console-style hack-and-slash game brought to life on touch devices. It’s fast and fluid, and offers plenty of chaotic action to soak in. And best of all, it looks pretty fantastic. It’s a free download, but you’ll have to pay to download the bulk of the adventure.

Dropbox (Free)
Dropbox (Free)
Even if you pick the 64GB option, storage may become scarce at some point, what with your myriad apps, photos, videos, and music files; oh Samsung, why did you skip the 128GB model? Anyway, that just means using the cloud more to keep files available, but not local. Dropbox is our favorite service for such things, letting you store whatever you want on a distant server and download/upload at will.

Cardboard (Free)
Samsung doesn’t have a version of the Gear VR headset that officially supports the S6 Edge+ – yet, at least – but at least you can grab a Google Cardboard viewer and check out mobile VR on the cheap. The better the screen, the more immersive and amazing the experiences are, so you’re all set there: buy or make one of the larger 2.0 viewers and you can enjoy games and other experiences in a whole new way.

3DMark – The Gamer’s Benchmark (Free)
3DMark – The Gamer
Benchmarking isn’t really meant for the average consumer, but consider this: if you’ve just spent £700+ on an amazing phone, don’t you want some reassurance that it truly is as amazing as it seems? Pairing the Galaxy S6’s Exynos processor with 4GB RAM, the Edge+ should turn out truly amazing benchmark results, and 3DMark is the industry standard. Hit the button, watch some cool 3D videos, and then enjoy as your device is lauded for its graphical prowess.

VLC for Android (Free)
VLC for Android (Free)
Netflix has more videos than you’ll ever be able to watch, but it doesn’t have everything. For pretty much anything else, use VLC: this open-source app is designed to play a vast array of media formats, and it does so with extreme skill, even running very high-resolution clips with ease. It’s the best way to take advantage of that big, bright, and curved screen.
Download VLC for Android
Manual Camera (£1.99)
Manual Camera (£1.99)
The S6 Edge+ camera – brought over from the regular S6 Edge – is fantastic, but you can get a lot more out of it with an app like Manual Camera. Sure, Samsung’s standard camera app will grab great shots with automatic settings, but with Manual Camera, you can minutely tweak each shot until it’s perfect. Never carry a separate camera again with the S6 Edge+ and Manual Camera.

Monument Valley (£2.49)
True, Monument Valley is not a glossy 3D showcase game; it’s not packed with polygons to push your Edge+’s processor. But it remains an absolutely stunning and memorable game, delivering a charming adventure on the go, and it will look utterly fantastic on that 5.7in screen. Twist and contort the world to guide Princess Ida to her destination in this wonderful mobile classic.

Powermat
Depending on where you’re located, coffee shops, stores, and restaurants with wireless charging stations may be decidedly few – which is precisely why you’ll want an app to help you find them. Powermat helps point the way to public places with charging pads, and since the Galaxy S6 Edge+ has built-in wireless charging, you’ll surely want to show it off. Don’t leave home without knowing where your next charge might come from.

Microsoft Office
Microsoft’s Office applications are some of the best examples of tablet-optimized Android apps that I’ve ever come across. Sure, you might not need to edit an Excel spreadsheet on the go very often, but the apps have the same ‘Ribbon’ interface as the desktop equivalents. There is also extensive support for keyboard shortcuts if you regularly use a keyboard with your tablet.
In 2020, Microsoft released a new combined Office app that included PowerPoint, Word, and Excel in a single package. The app initially didn’t properly support tablets, but that has since been fixed. Microsoft has also integrated the Office Lens scanner and notes that sync with Windows 10, but I don’t use those features.
The only downside is that creating and editing documents requires a paid subscription to Microsoft 365, formerly known as Office 365. The cheapest plan is $70/year (or $7/mo) and includes the web, mobile, and native desktop versions of the most popular Office applications, plus 1TB of OneDrive storage.

VLC for Android
VLC is the cross-platform media player that can open just about any video or audio file ever created, and the Android app functions very well. It has an integrated file browser (with the ability to view network drives!), Picture-in-Picture support, and other nice features.
The interface only has minor tweaks for tablets, like additional columns in the file viewer, but you’re going to spend most of your time watching media anyway. VLC is also one of the few media applications I’ve tried where tapping the spacebar on the keyboard actually pauses the content.

Pocket
Pocket is a simple app for saving text content you find on the web for later. Pocket displays these stories in a very readable form, distraction-free. Best of all, the app offers a tablet interface that’s great in portrait and landscape, with multiple rows of content. Even the stories display well for large screens, though it would be nice if images weren’t always centered.
What’s great is that anyone can use the app for free (and it even ties into Firefox, making things that much simpler to save content to the platform). However, if you’d like a better search and a permanent library of content, then a subscription is necessary. Luckily it’s only $4.99 a month should you need the extra features.

Collabora Office
If you prefer open source apps, then you’ve probably heard of LibreOffice and OpenOffice. Well, and enterprising developer has built an open source office app called Collabora, and it’s based on LibreOffice/OpenOffice. As you would expect, the download is completely free, and it supports a plethora of extensions, including .odt, .odp, .ods, .ots, .ott, .otp, .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, .dotx, .xltx, .ppsx, doc, .ppt, .xls, .dot, .xlt, and .pps.
Conveniently, Collabora Office uses the same engine as LibreOffice, with a front-end based on Collabora Online, which results in an app that’s suitable on small and large screens. Google Drive is supported out of the box, and this even works seamlessly, making for an intuitive way to store and edit files while on the go.

Gmail
Gmail is one of the few remaining Google apps that have a dedicated tablet interface. On large screens, Gmail has a two-column design, with your inbox shown on the left and the current message on the right. There are also a few keyboard shortcuts available for quickly managing messages.

Microsoft Outlook
If you’re not a fan of Gmail, or you’re just looking to try something new, Microsoft Outlook is another great email application for Android tablets. It works with third-party email services in addition to Microsoft’s own Outlook.com, so you can use it without switching email addresses.
Outlook has a similar layout to Gmail on tablets, with columns for both your inbox and the currently-selected message, but there are a few differences. The list of accounts is always pinned to the left side, and a third column for inboxes/folders can be toggled by pressing the hamburger menu at the top-left.

MyScript Nebo
MyScript Nebo is one of the best note-taking applications I’ve tried on Android. It can convert your hand-written sentences into text, and just like Evernote and OneNote, you can embed images, drawings, and other resources into your notes. The full list of features is honestly staggering.
There’s one catch to Nebo: to use all the features, you need an Android device with an active stylus pen, like a Galaxy Tab S6 or S6 Lite. Nebo has a list of some compatible models here.

Twitter Lite
The regular Twitter app looks absolutely terrible on tablets, with tweets taking up the full width of the screen. You’re better off with Twitter Lite, a repackaged version of the Twitter web app. It’s not a native Android application, which is a bit annoying, but it looks significantly better on tablets.
Twitter Lite is only available from the Play Store in select regions, so if you can’t download it, just open twitter.com in your mobile browser of choice and find the option to install it to your home screen (in Chrome, tap the menu button at the top-right and pick ‘Add to Home Screen’). It’s the same exact experience — just remember to enable notifications from Twitter’s settings for full functionality.

Feedly – Smarter News Reader
Feedly is one of the most popular feed reader apps on Android, and I’d like to think that has a little to do with the fact the app properly supports large screens. The tablet layout is fairly similar to a magazine layout, which should be familiar to most, making for a comfy app to peruse as you digest your daily news.

Google Duo
Google Duo is probably the best video chat application on Android, and it works just as well on tablets as it does on phones. In fact, you no longer need a phone number paired with your Google account when using it on tablets, which comes in handy for young children and other people without a phone.

Solid Explorer File Manager
Solid Explorer is an excellent file manager application, and it’s one of the few options with a clean tablet interface. It has a dual-panel mode for viewing (and moving files between) two directories at once, support for network drives, batch operations, integration with various cloud storage services, and much more.
I don’t often have to deal with moving files around on my Android devices, but if that’s something you regularly do, give Solid Explorer a try. You can use it for 14 days before you have to pay the $1.99 in-app purchase for full access.

Samsung Internet Browser
Samsung Internet is one of the most popular web browsers on Android, and it seems to have one of the best tablet interfaces as well. That’s hardly a surprise, given that Samsung is about the only company left producing high-end Android tablets, but you don’t necessarily need a Galaxy Tab to use the browser — it’s available on the Play Store for any device.
Samsung Internet is based on Chrome, but it does have a few features not present in Google’s browser. You can move the buttons around to your liking, force a dark theme on all web pages, and install select add-ons. Tabs can either be displayed below the address bar (similar to Chrome) or hidden behind the tabs button for more vertical space.

Gboard Keyboard
Gboard is the default keyboard application on many Android devices, and it has one feature that is especially nice on tablets — one-handed mode. With Gboard open, tap the detached keyboard icon in the toolbar to move the keyboard to a floating window. It’s much easier for me to type while holding a tablet in one-handed mode, especially when I swipe between letters instead of tapping keys individually.
