Google’s own Calculator application is now available for downloading on Google Play onto any Android device you have, allowing Google to send updates and new features more quickly to your device for the app. For the longest time, the Calculator app has been baked into the system, as it is on nearly every mobile phone ever made, but this continues Google’s work to strip out most apps and have them available right from Google Play.
According to the app’s description, Android Wear support has been bundled in, allowing folks with an Android Wear smartwatch the ability to do simple calculations straight from the wrist. You will likely be unable to perform trigonometric or logarithmic functions, but hey, nothing beats a good addition and subtraction problem.
The app is available right now, downloadable by most Android devices that have access to Google Play. Checking my list of compatible devices, it seems the majority of phones and tablets are supported, with a few HTC and Samsung devices not making the cut. I downloaded the app onto a Galaxy S7 Edge with no issues, though.
Have at it.
Wish it would have memory functionality to it otherwise, it would be perfect.
No go on Droid Turbo
That’s a beautiful smartphone. Pity the software…
Software isn’t even that bad. Google Now Launcher and Material theme in Theme Store and this ALMOST feels like a Nexus.
It is.
Just check the memory management. Total mess..
Haven’t had any issues with mine. Apps stay running in the background. Battery life is great. No complaints here, and I used to be a “stock or nothing” guy.
Exynos looks like 3gb to me.
Snapdragon even worse, 2gb at best.

Both of them is showing as 3.5GB, 0.5GB is most likely dedicated to the GPU.
Would you mind providing screenshots of the running services and cached apps?
Have you tried it? It’s fine.
Wasn’t impressed.

Can’t please everyone, I can have every app on my phone running without any of them closing down. With 1.4GB ram left.
I’ve seen you hate on everything but Nexus before, I still don’t think you’ve tried using it in real world usage.
I can name a plethora of things on each and every Nexus I haven’t been impressed with. The Galaxy S7 is a nice change.
I think you wrote to the wrong person
Loving the software better than on my my last Nexus.
“I downloaded the app onto a Galaxy S7 Edge with no issues, though.”
Thank goodness.
It’s a no go on the s5.
Can anyone tell me how to remove the DEG from the top left of the calculator screen. It’s really effing with my OCD
I have RAD at the top left, with no clue how to hide it.
Nvm it disappears after a second on its own.
What is left that isn’t on play store now? News and Weather?
That’s on the play store, too I think
Google Dialer can’t be installed by anyone other than Nexus/GPU devices.
Anyone still use the Xlythe calculator? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android2.calculator3
disappointed. Was expecting old school 58008
Shout out to all the teachers growing up who told us we had to learn math because we’d never have a calculator in our pockets.
What now?! #FindXYourself
Now I can do math without a calculator and laugh at those who cannot.
BOOBLESS!
Super subtle with your equation picture Tim.

I guess he thought that was somehow more PC than 664751 X 8 which would be, IMHO, much better.
That’s a nice equation you got there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Looking at my devices, it looks like it is only compatible with Marshmallow devices?
Yup. It’s minimum API is 23 for MM.
