Samsung has released version 2.1.6.0 of the Galaxy Connect application. This update expands the application's compatibility from only Samsung's Galaxy Book laptops to any Windows 11 PC using Intel or AMD x64 processors. It also allows Galaxy smartphone users with third-party laptops from brands like Lenovo, ASUS, and Dell to access the same cross-device continuity features that were previously exclusive to Samsung hardware.

The application can be found in the Microsoft Store. Users need to log in with the same Samsung account on their Galaxy phones and Windows 11 PCs.

What Does Galaxy Connect Do and Which Computers Are Compatible

Galaxy Connect offers various continuity features that seamlessly connect a Samsung Galaxy phone to a Windows PC. Users can easily copy and paste between devices, access phone storage directly from the computer, and continue browsing between devices by synchronizing open web pages. Additionally, this feature allows the Galaxy phone to serve as a second screen for the PC.

Extended compatibility is limited to Intel and AMD x64-based Windows 11 devices. ARM-based computers using Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors are not supported in version 2.1.6.0. Samsung has not yet announced whether ARM support will be added in a future update.

Previously, Galaxy Connect was only available on Galaxy Book laptops, which limited its use to a small group of Galaxy phone owners. The latest update expands these features to a broader range of Windows 11 devices that meet the hardware requirements.
