Following the launch of the Galaxy Book 4 series laptops, Samsung has recently introduced its Phone app for Windows PCs. With this software, Samsung is likely trying to recreate the cohesive ecosystem seen in the Apple realm, offering users seamless integration comparable to that between an iPhone and a Mac.
The real game-changer here is the seamless management of Galaxy smartphones directly from Windows PCs. No more toggling between devices – with the Samsung Phone app, users can effortlessly make calls, check messages, receive notifications, and transfer files.
The Samsung Phone app goes beyond mere mirroring, offering direct access to a phone’s gallery, contacts, and Samsung Notes from the desktop. This means seamless multitasking and collaboration across devices, with the added perk of Samsung DeX mode, turning the phone into a PC-like experience when hooked up to a monitor.
That being said, it looks like the app is currently limited to Samsung laptops only, more specifically, the Galaxy Book 4 series laptops that recently broke cover in South Korea. This new feature can make the new laptops more appealing to Samsung smartphone users as it will basically offer the same ecosystem features as its number 1 competitor, Apple.
Out of all the features, the calling feature is the most intriguing as the app description reads, “Never miss an important call again. Use the phone number and mobile plan from your Galaxy phone to make and receive calls on your PC.” This raises quite a few questions. Since there is no eSIM support on the new Galaxy Book laptops, it is unclear how users will be able to use the same number and mobile plan for their laptops.
