Samsung calculator needs a memory function for calculations. I'm surprised even the"scientific" calculator doesn't have this despite all the other functions it has.

There are *plenty* of calculator apps out there. RealCalc has been around forever and has 10 available memories. It also collects no data and is free.

Actually the system calculator does have a memory feature, in a way. It just does not display or have an expressed function as to add it to the memory. Try this, even using the scientific mode; type in any input to get the output, like 8*9=72. Then on the top left, the history icon should be highlighted (maybe already is from previous calculations). Then opening that, the output answer (72) should be a different color than the input. One can click just on that number and it can be used to recall a previous output to be used in another input in use.

@SteelersFanatic It automatically saves previous values. Click on the Clock icon and you will see a list of past transactions. You can click on any result and it will be copied into your current calculation.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Samsung have dropped the ball here, we are all used to having the dedicated M+, M-, RM & CM buttons which reflected the physical calculators of yesteryear and present day; the suggestion to long-press to copy/paste just doesn't do it for me.

At least bring it back as an interface option.

I agree that memory functions would be useful. Another improvement that could complement this is support for multiple calculation sessions or tabs.

Many users switch between completely different calculations, such as loan calculations, budgeting, shopping comparisons, or engineering calculations. Currently, starting a new calculation can interrupt the existing workflow.

A tab-based approach would allow users to keep several calculations active and switch between them without losing progress. In my view, this would be even more flexible than traditional memory functions while still helping users manage complex calculations more efficiently.
