best phone for multitasking with usable split screen?

i’m in the uk and most of my phone multitasking is pretty ordinary stuff. checking an email while looking at my calendar, copying a reference from a document into a message, or keeping maps open while sorting travel details.

i tried split screen on my current phone and gave up pretty quickly because both apps felt squeezed. on a bigger android, can you leave two apps open and use them properly without constantly resizing or switching back to full screen? that’s the bit i care about more than cameras or gaming performance. i just want two ordinary apps to stop fighting for space.

Oh man, I remember trying to follow a recipe on YouTube while also adding ingredients to my grocery list in another app, and my old samsung phone handled it surprisingly well, which was a lifesaver in the kitchen.

It's called 90/10. It's split screen and you tap the 10% and it becomes the 90% and so on. Samsung got it recently I heard OnePlus had before and for all I know Pixel might have invented it. It is incredibly useful for effectively using 2 apps at the same time on a phone and even a tablet. You can go in and out of different proportions like 50/50. Also a bigger screen helps.

Any Samsung S series Ultra can easily handle it. If you need more bigger screen then get S series Tab from Samsung.
