Windows calculator runs on android
(OP)
I was looking for a scientific calculator like the one in Win10 for my android tablet. They all looked like chap, all black difficult to see the numbers, or colored keys like a pack of M&Ms, I didn't want graphing functions, or a retro-Casio or TI-49, etc, etc., then I finally found this one. Uno It's the same one in Win10 that has been ported over to run on Android.

But you're right. Pick the one you like the best.

Why does anyone need calculators, now we have spreadsheets?
There are several spreadsheets available for Android, including Excel.

Your Samsung calculator is OK, but I just bought a 10" Samsung TabA and I deleted that one because I had to rotate the tab on its side to get the "scientific calculator" option to appear. Give me a break. That doesn't help me a lot when I'm doing barrel rolls.

I use a calculator every day, mostly a SwissMicros DM42 (a superclone of the 32-yr-old HP-42S running the Free42 simulator as firmware) and sometimes an HP-50g or other HP model. I also use Excel every day and Mathcad often. There are some things a calculator does faster and better than Excel and Mathcad, especially quick what-if type calculations. It's all about the right tool for the job.

It's also about the right tool for the person doing the job.
If I have a computer sitting in front of me, I can't think of any job where a calculator will do the job better, but if others prefer calculators for some calculations, then of course they should use them.

It is an indespensable tool for me personally. RPN calculator with units, ability to save everything (values, equations, programs etc) into nested named directory structure. I have built a few of special-purpose tools for my own needs using the hp48gx structured programming environment, and those tools are easily backed up and transferred each time I get a new phone. The programs can also be transferred back and forth to PC where they can be edited using HPEdit which provides great full screen interactive programming environment that automatically indents and color-codes, shows syntax errors in real time, allows debugging, etc although you'd need admin rights to be able to install that program on your pc. I was biased toward Droid48 from the time I got my first smartphone because I had previously invested a lot of time in programming a similar HP calculator way back last century. I'm probably even more biased towards it now because I haven't kept up with many of the new alternatives. I guess I should say the obvious downsides: there is a startup learning curve, there are a lot of keys with multiple functions per key, which makes things hard to find until you get used to it, and the graphing capabilities will be disappointing compared to other apps (graphing is done in approx the top quarter of the screen and mimics the original calculators limited resolution).
Regarding smath. I find that to be pretty darned useful on my pc. It creates calculations that are well formatted and very easy for others to follow. I'm told it is almost identical to mathcad. But I never really liked the phone version personally....anything I need done on smath I do on my pc.

But to be honest I prefer my HP50 if I have it handy. Everytime I pickup a non RPN calculator I have to think really hard how to use it nowadays and invariably for anything complicated hand it to someone younger who I'm usually helping to do the calculation for me.
