In fact, if we look for a brand in the Android ecosystem that can resemble Apple, that is Samsungsince it is the only manufacturer that offers an ecosystem integration similar to what we find in the apple firm in the Google world. While it’s not perfect, you can seamlessly connect your phone to your Galaxy Book, copy and paste text between devices, transfer files wirelessly using Quick Share, and more.
And for the new version of the firm’s operating system, One UI 7it seems that Samsung is once again looking to Apple to further deepen this integration with a new camera continuity function. It has been discovered by Mishaal Rahman, of Android Authority and, although it didn’t work, since it apparently would require a software update for the Galaxy Books existing and other Samsung devices, we can know what it is about.
Continuity made in Apple
Samsung equipment has a function similar to Continuitywhich allows you to seamlessly resume working on open apps on another device linked to your Samsung account. With One UI 7Samsung will further improve this feature by adding camera support. This will allow you to take photos or scan documents with your Galaxy, and use them at the same time in other brand apps such as Samsung Notes or the Samsung browser on another device.
But, for this camera tool to work, your smartphone and other Samsung devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network, within Bluetooth range, and logged into the same Samsung account.
All of us who are used to working on iOS, macOSiPadOS or similar, we know that we are talking about a function is virtually identical to Apple’s Continuity Camera/Sketchwhich lets you insert a photo or scanned document from your iPhone or iPad directly into your Mac. What sets Apple’s implementation apart is its versatility: It works seamlessly in all apps, not just a limited selection of native apps . According to rumors, there would be a feature that would allow the camera to “Continue on other devices”, so Samsung could expand its Continuity-like feature to more applications, but currently, it only works with Samsung Notes and Samsung Internet.
One UI 7 It is already on the exit ramp and soon, probably next month, many Samsung smartphones will already have this operating system ready to install. Then we can see how inspired Samsung has been in Apple, what limitations its tool has compared to what we already know in the Cupertino devices.
