The Galaxy Book 4 will have an exclusive function to manage calls

The new ones Galaxy Book 4 Of Samsung represent a family of extremely promising laptops, designed specifically to take on the MacBooks, and how the latter will be equipped with a Handoff-style function to manage calls.

The new app reveals it Samsung Phone (SamsungPhone in English), just released on the Microsoft Store by the Seoul company and which will allow, as suggested by the descriptionto make and receive calls from the PC, if it belongs to the Galaxy Book 4 family and if connected to a phone Galaxy compatible.

In the description of the app, which you can find at this address, you can read that the app will allow Galaxy smartphone users to use the same number from their phones to their Galaxy Book laptops.

From the screenshots, it looks like the app will display a notification pop-ups when a call will arrive on a Galaxy smartphone, which users will be able to answer or not, and in the latter case even send a quick message.

The user interface design resembles that of One UI, used on Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

But how does it differ from Connection to the telephone? In fact, the Microsoft app already allows you to manage calls And messages from the computer through any Android computer, so we don’t have a very clear idea of ​​what Samsung Telephone will offer differently, perhaps it will make the transition simpler and more immediate but at the moment we can’t know.

The app is available on Microsoft Storebut even if the Italian web page is active we did not find it on Store, as it seems that it can only be installed on laptops Galaxy Book 4 (or later, so previous generations seem left out). We tried to do it both on a non-laptop Samsung than on a Windows tablet Samsung, but without success.

Samsung therefore seems increasingly intent on developing its own ecosystem in style apple, but it is certainly a setback for the owners of the previous devices of the brand, which are cut out of this update.

Let’s remember that the series Galaxy Book 4 was announced just a week ago, and includes four laptops with specs ranging from Galaxy Book 4 Pro 14″ with integrated Arc graphics and Intel’s new Core Ultra chipsets up to Galaxy Book 4 Ultra 16″ with RTX 4070 GPU from NVIDIA. Prices and launch date have not yet been communicated, but we will know more in January 2024.
