Samsung smartphones can now unlock a Windows 10 PC

The best thing about Apple’s ecosystem is its continuity. You can carry your work from your MacBook to your iPhone or iPad without doing anything. This is one of the reasons that a consumer considers while going for an Apple device. Apple can do that because it is responsible for both the hardware and software, thus having a complete control over the ecosystem. However, the same cannot be said for the Windows and Android platforms as they are controlled by separate entities. However, Samsung has achieved a way to link an Android and Windows 10 device through Samsung Flow.

Specifically, an Android device from Samsung and a Windows 10 computer with the latest Creators Update, can ensure continuity like Apple’s ecosystem through the latest version of the Samsung Flow app. This will let all the geeks on a budget do stuff that they have been wishing for years – login to your Windows PC by using the fingerprint sensor on your smartphone, transfer content and activities from PC to smartphone, access text messages on PC and more. You can even enable your hotspot from the PC so as to stay connected when there’s no Wi-Fi network available.

However, you should know that the app is available only for Samsung devices running on Android Marshmallow and above as well as a Windows 10 computer running the latest Creators Update. The app will also work for various Android tablets as well as Windows 10 tablets.
