4. App Continuity

You can set some of your favorite apps to continue being displayed when you switch from dual-display to a single display. You do not need to worry about re-opening an app once you have switched displays. For example, when in the dual display, you can set your phone to start playing audio then fold it and place it in your pocket. Once you need to skip audio or forward audio, you do not need to switch to dual display to do that.

5. Multitasking

One advantage that comes with large displays is how easy it is to multi-task. The Samsung Galaxy Fold does this really well. You can easily open another app when actively using one app. For example, you can be watching a video on YouTube then quickly open your camera app from the quick control settings, take a picture then close that app. All this happens without you having to pause or close your video.
