its good to see that someone is putting the Samsung all in one into practise..I once dreamt of having a house's A to Z on one eco system or a lifestyle the lot eco system maybe collab with Matter will turn on the interoperability on max mode.

The partnership you mentioned is actually, Google forcing Samsung to do things a certain way, and Samsung working with Microsoft.

I had one instance of the processor running full throttle, was because some software was trying to update and couldn't, apparently a known issue as they mentioned it was best to just uninstall and reinstall rather than update. There's a company policy where no games are supposed to be installed on the machines and I noticed on one of the laptops I'm supposed to use, a chess game was on it.

[@Dunk132]

Samsung should pay for an ecosystem explanation like this one, well done. I like to see that you showcased another windows laptop though too. It is valuable to see, many many people would more practically take a gaming laptop or other high end laptop over a similarly priced (or more expensive) samsung galaxy book with similar/slightly lower specs. Especially seeing that the ecosystem does somewhat exist for windows. But.. no matter how well samsung integrates ecosystem into windows, it is still not the authentic full experience. Heck, I even had a galaxy book ion that was a generation too old for most samsung specific ecosystem, and it felt too ingenuine. Mainly cz it didnt have multicontrol, but also cz the main windows integrated features (being quickshare and second screen share) were very 50/50 or slow at functionality for me. Multi control from a Samsung laptop, when you have both a phone and tablet from samsung, really becomes the foundation of that three device ecosystem. You get rid of everything other than Multi-control, and it would still be a solid ecosystem. It is what beats Apple's Mac to iOS connectivity. I wouldn't compare that from apple to link to windows for samsung.. Link to windows is a SICK substitute for windows users that apple arrogantly would never provide lmao.. but it is secondary to samsungs real stuff. With a galaxy book laptop, you get to connect your three devices in two major ways that you can't on other windows laptops. 1) Drag your mouse and key board off screen to your phone to type your messages quickly as you work (multi control), copy and paste between devices (part of multi control if im not mistaken, and another thing other windows laptops wont work as properly with), drag files/documents from windows to android and vice versa (this is different than quick share & easier to do), second screen share from your same laptop to phone set up but now screen extending to your tablet screen at the same time . 2) Further you can take the multi control to your phone by a different route. Instead of using your phones screen, samsung flow to put your phone screen onto your tablet, split screen the tablet so that half of it is phone half is tablet, and then multi control your laptop to the tablet so that you can control all three of them from just two screens. There are other surely more niche applications of utilizing three samsung devices, but I would call those two my main ones. Overall what samsung is doing with windows is SICK & INSPIRING. Its nice to see how polar opposite they are to the petty apple industry. but it just cant be viewed as their entire ecosystem effort. No reason to handicap the representation of our finally superior ecosystem, not in the face of apple's / all the stigma we get from them! A true samsung ecosystem experience ultimately comes with the commitment to one of their laptops.

I use Dex on my tv and my tv is a cheap TCL and it works flawlessly. Love it. Your video is so cool! Lots of features I didnt know and didnt use yet. Thank you!!

[@keikoZB]

HUGE thank you for this video. I had no idea Samsung released the Quick Share feature on Windows until now. A true gamechanger for people handling files on Windows then later needing them on the phone

[@realparveenfatima]

Hey Ella, it's my first time watching one of your videos and I'm loving your fast paced style of content. Please do continue this if possible, thanks! 😊

[@harbirsingh7266]

If any reviewer comparing Apple products with Samsung now ever gives Apple a point for ecosystem, I'm calling it a biased review.

[@robertvirnig638]

I only prefer Samsung over Apple because Apple goes out of its way to make sure its products are completely incompatible with anyone else. I suppose it is a good marketing strategy but I'm sticking with their competitors.

[@pistolman44]

Well it works because most people have Apple stuff

[@robertvirnig638]

@@pistolman44 Yes, it is a brilliant marketing strategy. If you have an iPhone and want to buy a computer. It may be that a PC might serve your needs best, but Apple gets you to buy their computer because the iPhone won't work with the PC well at all. At that same time, dozens of phones will work with that PC.

[@its_tomtrn127]

I thought you had Galaxy Books yourself, i was surprised you didn't use them for this video

[@aksshaysharma96]

Only US goes gaga over the Apple ecosystem. Outside US ecosystem by other com panies including Samsung is way better than the limited Apple ecosystem, which provides nothing more than the bare minimum

[@aksshaysharma96]

In Samsung Laptops, the Apps on phone can run independent of the Android Device.

[@WookieWarriorz]

Dex will actually work on any tv with smart share, ive used it so many times at friends and relatives houses, hotels rooms etc, if they have a firestick or chromecast too you can use those to stream dex.

[@RobbySanchez8]

This was an awesome test and comparison video!

[@GoranofallTrades]

You can actually use DeX on non-Samsung TVs too, you just need a type C to HDMI cable. This actually came in very handy to me. I was traveling really light so I didn't want to carry my laptop. So I connected my phone to a random TV in the accommodation. Way better than watching stuff on the phone.

[@dlewis9760]

Get a dongle and you use a wireless keyboard/mouse (or trackpad). If there's a ethernet port where you staying, ethernet (with the right dongle) can be used by phone.

[@selohcin]

It's clear that the major weakness in Samsung's ecosystem is its lack of first-party computers. Apple has its own desktop operating system that it has complete control over, and Samsung can't compete there. If Samsung wants to move any farther than they have, they need to make their own OS.

[@HectorCastro-pk5cm]

Doesn't make sense to make an OS at this point, it's hard to move the large windows & Mac OS user base to a new OS, hence why a lot of people have yet to switch to Linux even though these days Linux is pretty user friendly. Apple has been working on on MacOS for a really long time polishing it and making it good and building a large user base. User would not just try a new operating system at this point.

[@garreswe]

I have the Note 20 Ultra, Tab 7+ and Windows laptops. I love how they all can communicate, especially with copying text and files. I have considered buying a Macbook because they seem so much better for productivity but I would miss the ecosystem too much.

[@Delicate141]

That's a good one, Ella. I am enjoying the Apple ecosystem, but am curious if the Samsung's option is offering the same or even better. As a Windows user, I'll probably switch to Samsung's, it's just a better option if you don't go all in on Apple. The fact that, as you showed, you can copy in your phone and paste in Windows PC is AMAZING.

[@Junispro31]

If you are using a Windows PC, the Apple ecosystem really doesn't play well with it. Samsung's one integrates much more nicely. Pro tip: use Link To Windows (collab between Microsoft and Samsung) and you can use universal clipboard, Screen mirroring and drag and drop to transfer files between windows and Samsung Galaxy devices.

[@Delicate141]

@@Junispro31 I mean, there aren't much senarios that I need the integration between the phone and the computer, but when I do need, it appears that Samsung makes it way better for Windows users. Thanks for the comment, appreciated!

[@Couzo1010]

The samsung Dex future is a life saver for me! I take my laptop from work daily. I'm not a morning person, so if I forget my laptop, I am not going back home to get it. With samsung dex, there is no need to return home. I simply connect my Samsung phone to my USB-C port from my docking station and connect to my OneDrive, and there you have it, I work from my cellphone just as easy-to-use as if I were working from my laptop. 🙌🏽

[@shaclo1512]

Samsung, what features do you implement in your ecosystem? - yes.

[@Kas0N0VA]

Samsung is LIFE...phones refrigerator washer dryer watches tabs laptops..stoves TVs

[@graypy]

7:11 You should use a Samsung laptop to get a more immersive experience

[@CWZimba]

They sponsored the video so she couldn't

[@ArrowStudios]

Samsung Dex can be done on-the-go with any HDMI port to USB-C port cable and a compatible display, just saying. Useful for older TVs that don't support smart TV or app download features.

[@Iconiquemusique]

A Video I never knew I needed. Thanks a whole lot.

[@huh5950]

Fridges and ovens and washing machines and dish washers and Hoovers, Aircons, lights, locks and TVs (some with GamePass so consoles too) and Laptops and of course Smartphones and Tablets and more. Its kinda crazy

[@Muzektech]

Finally a great video on a ecosystem other than apples 😊

[@alejandroalanis4924]

This woman is very charismatic, made me smile with some little jokes she made at the same time that she shows and explain everything, definitely going to check more of her videos!

[@nickamalfitano3613]

In my opinion, samsung is significantly better. The only weakness is FaceTime. Since Google meet is also available on Apple devices, it works great. But wirh so many apple devices in the US and Apple being Apple, and keeping FaceTime only to ios devices is to me, an admission that they NEED proprietary measures to keep their advantage in the US market.

[@acedhj]

Thanks for this video! I'm mostly in the Samsung ecosystem and trying to figure out if I'm going to buy the last couple pieces to go all in. This was super helpful.

[@evelinecarolinelienhuaming1184]

Samsung is One of the Best!!! 👊🏻😎👊🏻

[@kismi124]

One thing to try to prevent the phone from locking is Smart Lock or Android 14 Extended Unlock. When your device is connected to a trusted device it will keep the screen from locking. You can do it with keyboards, tablets and Galaxy Books. But absolutely one of the best videos I've viewed.

[@2bizzygaming13]

“It doesn’t work for me at all, 4 out of 5.” What?!? 0:58

[@jorgeaspron]

I was skeptical too, but tried the Samsung Ecosystem with low-end devices and it's just superb!

[@akoladeogundiran4618]

You got me I'm not leaving Samsung

[@OptimusPrime1025]

I ordered a Tab S9 the other day to go along with my Galaxy Book Pro 360, S23 Ultra, Buds 2 Pro, and Watch 4 Classic, and it's exciting seeing all the ways it will be able to integrate with my ecosystem. Multi Control is one I use more than I would've expected and I'm very excited to get the tablet included with that

[@GeraltofRomaN7]

The big, big, big issue i have with Samsung / Android / Windows is the longevity. My wife hold her apple devices for like 10 years (Mac) and 3-4 years for iPhones (usually giving it to one of her sister, the devices working still very well after that). It’s the reason I switched to this ecosystem after like… 15 years to Mac/ios and I have to say iOS is pretty satisfying But I understand who likes Samsung eco too!

[@cstrike105]

Thank you Ella for this very informative video. I learned that I can do more with my Samsung Devices

[@AMLCentral]

lol thats true

[@crlpl1]

1:29 you started copying to macbook, not to iPad, not surprised it took twice longer - it was probably not too close.

[@michaelgriffin2101]

This video has to be sponsored by Samsung or something, she definitely did that on purpose 😂

[@Korculanac11]

Totally noticed that too. Samsung sponsored!!

[@Zephriesz]

What makes me love Samsung's ecosystem more is that it's not limited to only Samsung devices. Any windows Laptop could join in and it's just works and I'm not limited to only one brand and product

[@Shimeih]

The fact that Apple is still the benchmark says volumes however it’s great to see alternatives outside that

[@_Viking]

Wouldn't say it's a benchmark. It's more the last excuse Apple users have against Android/Samsung 😅

[@JoshuaHoffman21]

@ella always so thorough. I have made the switch from Apple after 15 years and i bought tab, fold, watch and all work so seamlessly.

[@Spoonfed78]

The Apple "ecosystem" blah blah should always be called out as it is "Apple JailSystem". There's no argument when There's interoperability across brands and OS systems. If Apple stuff is that good then join the club and integrate. That would loose their trapped prisoners the last playbook they have.

[@Okieant]

I got forced into it a couple years ago by my gf after 10yrs on Android. I miss it so much.

[@Spoonfed78]

@@Okieant 💔 bro, how many stories go this way, how can people think Apple, Timmay and Jobs etc all rotten too the core with this no.1 engineered game. If Tech cannot interoperate then it's bot tech, it's a cult. Simple.

[@kead6636]

Just to clarify, dex can be used on any tv or screen, not just samsung ones.

[@tetrasnipe]

Well .. Samsung tabs have a calculator app. Just saying 😂

[@Habz10]

This is the first video i came across by "Created by Ella"... Being an owner of the S23 Ultra, Watch6 and ofc a PC, i honestly had now idea the features and collaborations were this strong! All these tips will actually help my editing process with efficiency and it will become less time-consuming. I liked and subscribed not even half way through the video haha

[@saitamafps4528]

This is so big disadvantage for apple because you can't do any of that with other phones and pc brands HUGE Red flag

Fun fact, DeX; you can use it with any monitor/tv using wireless or an HDMI cable

Very satisfied with your review, Ella! Been watching you for a few years now and you always end up convincing me of the great features of Samsung. I really love how you have a mix of Apple and Samsung/Android usage all the time, I think it makes you much more reliable in terms of your reviews. I’ve used Apple ecosystem since 2016 and I’m starting to think a switch is in order after I pay off my most recent iPhone :)
