How do you use Android for productivity? (lemmy.world)

Past Discussions:

For the last couple of weeks, it was all fun and games. This week, we are going for a more generalized topic on how you use your Android devices for work.

I'm boring in regards to work apps, so I very much favor using Microsoft apps over Google apps for work, as overall I feel Google apps work better on iPhones than on Android (to my great frustration). Office and Teams work exactly how I expect them to, while their desktop version are a bit bloated, on Android they work super well, and there really is no replacement that's as good as Microsoft Lens for scanning printed documents into PDFs.

But, I understand my use for Android for productivity is fairly limited, so, I'm interested to see if we can put our head together and find some interesting ways to use your Android devices to help us all be more productive.

I'm sure I could, but laptops are a thing so I guess I dont see the point. phones, even tablets have a screen that's just too small. the i/o isnt as useful as a keyboard - and once it has a keyboard, it's a laptop. might as well go with an actual laptop at that point.

Counterpoint: you can carry your phone in your pocket/purse, but you can't do that with a laptop.

when are you trying to be productive while carrying nothing but a phone? possibly just messaging people to organise things or find out information as you're walking around the office?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, except I usually don't work in an office. :)

[–] tallwookie@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

that's true. I generally use a small backpack for my laptop.
