This is how Samsung’s Galaxy ecosystem contributes to the development of government offices
Preceding the COVID-19 epidemic, government officials often entered the home from home. But as the new era of remote work began, government employees were introduced to unfamiliar areas, and they had to turn their homes into offices, while at the same time keeping public services running smoothly.
Now, as the epidemic subsides, it is clear that what was once considered a temporary shift in employment will continue to exist in some way forever.
The new challenge facing government offices is to maintain the dynamics of work-from-home momentum and flexible technologies that may facilitate a new, flexible work model – the division of work week between home and office.

Fortunately, the Samsung Galaxy line-up device is designed for the needs of government employees for flexibility, production, and mobility as they prepare for the next chapter of hybrid work.

360° production with an extended Galaxy ecosystem
To facilitate change in hybrid function, a new office space must be equipped with more product support technology. With the Samsung Galaxy device ecosystem, that idea of high productivity is successfully restored to life.
At the center of the ecosystem is the Glass Book Pro 360, which combines the power of a PC with the smartphone navigation of a staff member moving around the home and office. When you connect the Galaxy Book Pro 360 to other devices within the Galaxy ecosystem, there is absolutely no work that a public servant can handle.
With the second integrated screen feature, employees can also extend their desktop to the second screen to make the most of their time. While presenting the program on a single screen, users can simultaneously record notes in sequence on the Galaxy Tab S7 + and the accompanying S Pen.
Once digitized, their Samsung Notes are available on all their Galaxy devices. When another team member introduces, employees can keep an eye on the presentation while continuing emergency messages with the Link to Windows integration on the Galaxy A71 and Galaxy Book Pro, allowing them to respond to smartphone notifications directly on the laptop screen.
Access to a desktop-like experience on the go with Samsung DeX
When workers are on the street, on-site, or away from their homes and office sets, jobs may arise that cannot wait for their return. The Samsung Galaxy device system has cutting-edge features that help employees to keep producing almost anywhere with their smartphone or tablet.
With the Samsung DeX software, users can activate the full desktop experience with a small, hand-held device. Built on the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G smartphone and the Galaxy Tab S7 + tablet, the technology expands the ability of employees to perform work in a variety of environments.
Current conditions have given governments the unique opportunity to become instrumental in transforming technological change. By investing in state-of-the-art tools that allow for the flexibility needed by their employees beyond the epidemic, governments that take advantage of this opportunity will be known for setting new standards for more jobs and productivity.

Samsung is committing 7 years of Android upgrades to select Galaxy devices. The newly launched Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 are guaranteed for software longevity. It’s the same upgrade policy that Samsung introduced with the S24 series.
The South Korean tech giant is significantly increasing the longevity of its flagship phones. Now, consumers can keep their Galaxy for at least 7 years. Samsung will take care of the device owners from the software side, providing new features and security enhancements.
Besides, Samsung is refining its hardware spare parts availability. Spare parts will be made available for years so you can get your Galaxy repaired. It’s a great approach to reducing e-waste and helping consumers use their devices.
Samsung Galaxy devices that are eligible for 7 years of Android upgrades:
- Galaxy Z Flip 6
- Galaxy Z Fold 6
- Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Galaxy S24 Plus
- Galaxy S24
All of the devices come with Android 14 pre-installed. This means the last major upgrade for the above-listed phones would be Android 21. Besides, Samsung will continue to release regular security updates and feature drop updates until 2031.
The new software plan had not been expanded to older lineups like before. Still, the Galaxy S23 series as well as Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 are eligible for 4 OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches. It’s uncertain but Samsung could provide an additional OS upgrade to some devices.
Samsung’s software strategy is inspired by Google’s support for Pixel phones. The company’s affordable Pixel 8a handset is also supported by a 7-year update plan. Therefore, we guess that the Galaxy S24 FE might join the 2024 flagships with Samsung’s top-notch software plan.
In addition, the Korean tech giant may also expand the update support to the next-gen flagship tablet lineup. The Galaxy Tab S10 series could launch this year, which might also be supported by seven years of OS and regular software updates plan.
Samsung is expanding One UI 6.1.1 to several Galaxy devices. The new software update brings various new features and functional improvements. One UI 6.1.1 also upgrades the Auto Blocker feature for extra-strong security.
One UI 6 debuted the Auto Blocker feature to unlock enhanced security on Galaxies. Samsung has located the feature within Security and Privacy under Settings. The new One UI 6.1.1 takes Auto Blocker capabilities another step ahead.
Auto Blocker protects your device and data by preventing the installation of apps from unauthorized sources and blocking malicious activity. Simply put, the feature, when activated, doesn’t allow app sideloading on Galaxy devices.
Starting with One UI 6.1.1, additional security features including Maximum restrictions, have been added. You can now set Auto Blocker to apply maximum restrictions to get the highest level of protection against malware and security threats.
Hyperlinks and automatic downloading attachments in messages are blocked, location data is removed when sharing pictures, and shared albums in Gallery can’t be used. Learn how to activate Maximum restrictions in Auto Blocker.
Step 1. Turn on the Auto Blocker feature > Tap Maximum restrictions.
Step 2. Turn on the switch to enable.
While enabling Maximum restrictions, some of your phone’s features will be restricted.
Turns on App protection: Checks apps installed for malicious activity.
Blocks device admin apps: Prevents activation of device admin apps and work profiles to protect against potential malicious attacks.
Blocks auto downloading attachments: Prevents automatic downloads of message attachments to protect against malicious software, while still allowing manual downloads from trusted sources.
Blocks hyperlinks and previews: Protects you from accidentally clicking on hyperlinks or viewing preview images, keeping you safe from malicious websites.
Removes location data when sharing pictures: Prevents the recipient from being able to determine where the picture was taken when you attach a picture to a message in Samsung Messages or share a picture from Samsung Gallery.
Blocks shared albums: Protects you from sharing sensitive information and accepting invites from unknown senders.
