Splitting a restaurant bill and then converting square meters to another area unit usually means two different tools. Samsung Calculator, from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., handles both: basic arithmetic, engineering functions, a history panel for reusing earlier formulas, and a unit converter for area, length, and temperature.
Everyday sums and engineering functions in one app
The app handles the four basic operations and also includes engineering calculations. To reach the engineering mode, you tap the engineering calculator icon on the main screen.
That split keeps the default keypad simple for quick arithmetic while leaving scientific functions one tap away. The category on Google Play is calculators, and the tags list it under tools.
History panel and unit converter
A calculation history panel stores earlier work. You open it with the history icon and close it by tapping the keypad icon. Tapping a formula in the list lets you reuse it, which saves retyping a long expression.
The unit calculator button opens a converter for area, length and temperature, among other unit types. The store text describes these conversions as easy to perform.
