So I just got a new android phone, and naturally I'd like to download a good calculator for it. Preferably one with good plotting functions as well as plenty of computing functions (and preferably one which can store physical constants!). Any suggestions? :)

Search the Android store for "RealCalc scientific calculator". Also, in case you aren't already aware, there's a Wolfram Alpha app available.

I'm a bit biased since I use physical HP calculators.

Photo of a black HP graphing calculator with a monochrome LCD screen showing text and a grid of keys, including ENTER, numeric keys and function keys, angled on a light surface.


But my Android calculator app is Droid48 which emulates a HP48 scientific calculator.

Screenshot of the Droid48 calculator app on Android, showing an HP48-style keypad with soft-key labels above the display and a small stick-figure diagram of a beam with labeled points a, P, and x in the top area.

I'm not sure about the physical constants, but maybe Maxima would be a good option.
