Galaxy S8 to come with Continuum-like feature called Samsung Desktop Experience
According to what is said to be a leaked
slide from an internal Samsung presentation about the upcoming Galaxy S8, the
Korean company is getting ready to bring Continuum-like functionality to
Android.
Continuum is the Windows 10 feature that sort
of turns your phone into a PC when connected to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
And Samsung apparently likes the concept and is working on launching something
very similar for its next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S8. Here's the slide
in question:
As you can see, the phone is going to be
connected to the monitor through a cable, whereas you'll use Bluetooth to
connect the keyboard and mouse, we assume. This will offer you an extended
workspace, with a full desktop experience, and multi-window multi-tasking.
Since even the source of this leak advises
you take it with a pinch of salt, we'd say not to bet anything on it being 100%
real just yet. But it would be an intriguing feature for sure, and perhaps yet
another differentiator for Samsung's top of the line devices in an Android
world that's filled with good phones these days.
