Windows 10 can pinch the Galaxy smartphone app on the start screen and start it.Apps and services that are unique to smartphones can also be used on PCs.Microsoft allows Android apps to operate on Windows 11, but not all apps can be used via the Amazon app store.On the other hand, if it is linked with a Galaxy smartphone, almost all of the apps installed on the Galaxy smartphone can be used on the Windows side.

The automatic synchro function of the photo from the Galaxy smartphone gallery to oneDrive is also useful.Now that the unlimited storage service of Google Drive compressed images ends in May, it is also realistic to use OneDrive to backup of smartphone photos.Samsung has strengthened its coordination with PCs, not only for business users, but is trying to provide PCs similar to smartphones to PCs when smartphone native generations start using PCs.
