Many brands implement specific features that allow their devices to interact with each other in ways that cannot be replicated with products from other companies. In the case of Samsung, the Korean company has made quite a bit of progress in this particular instance, especially with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Galaxy Watch 7 (and Watch Ultra), as well as the Galaxy Buds 3 series.
Samsung calls this the “connected experience,” and my personal favourite feature revolves around one particular Galaxy AI-powered app: Interpreter. Thanks to the app’s new conversation mode, I can have a conversation with another person that speaks a completely different language with real-time translation on supported devices. On the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, for example, the translated texts can be shown on the cover screen.
Now, if I pair the Galaxy Buds 3 or Buds 3 Pro to either smartphones, I can actually listen to the translated texts in real-time instead, which is quite neat. Of course, this only works with the Buds 3 series; any other wireless earbuds won’t be able to replicate this feature.
What about the Galaxy Watch 7? Is there any noteworthy interaction between the smartwatch and Samsung’s other devices? Well, of course. If you ever misplace your Galaxy phone – and it’s still connected via Bluetooth – you can easily use the wearable to ring your phone through the Find My Phone feature.
But what if your phone is out of Bluetooth range? Well, no issue. Just fire up Samsung Find to access your phone’s location on a map, and you can then use the Galaxy Watch to give it a ring.
These are just some features of the connected experience between different Samsung devices. Granted, they are not exactly groundbreaking on their own, but they do meaningful improve the user experience as a whole. It’s also a nice bit of incentive to invest in the “Galaxy ecosystem,” as Samsung puts it.
