Samsung Galaxy Connect App Expands to All Intel and AMD Windows 11 PCs, Not Just Galaxy Books
Samsung has released an update for its Galaxy Connect app, bringing it to version 2.1.6.0. The update broadens compatibility from Samsung's own Galaxy Book laptops to any Windows 11 PC running on Intel or AMD x64 processors. It also enables 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 limited to Samsung hardware.
The app can be found on the Microsoft Store. To use it, users need to sign in with the same Samsung account on both their Galaxy phone and their Windows 11 PC.
What Galaxy Connect Does and Which PCs Are Compatible
Galaxy Connect offers several continuity features that seamlessly link a Samsung Galaxy phone with a Windows PC. Users can easily copy and paste between devices, access phone storage directly from the PC, and continue their browsing across devices by syncing open web pages. Additionally, the feature allows the Galaxy phone to serve as a secondary display for the PC.
The expanded compatibility is limited to Intel and AMD x64-based Windows 11 devices. ARM-based PCs, including those using Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors, are not supported in version 2.1.6.0. Samsung has not announced whether ARM support might be added in a future update.
Previously, Galaxy Connect was available only on Galaxy Book laptops, which restricted its use to a small group of Galaxy phone owners. The latest update broadens these features to a wider range of Windows 11 devices that meet the hardware requirements.
Won’t run on AMD Ryzen Windows 11 PC.
Too bad you need an Intel Wifi & Intel Bluetooth card for it to work, which means theres still many of us (myself included) that can’t use the software at all!
