Wireless PowerShare - This is not unique to Samsung phones, but S10, S20, Note10, and Note20 series feature Wireless PowerShare where the smartphone can reverse wirelessly charge another device that supports Qi wireless charging.

Some of those devices include the Galaxy Buds, Buds+, Buds Live, and Galaxy Watch3, Watch2, Watch Active and Watch Active2, or even smartphones from other brands.

Remote Camera Control - When using the smartphone's camera, Galaxy Watch-series owners can download and use the Camera Controler app on their Watch-series device and remotely control the smartphone's camera viewfinder and shutter release.

Samsung DeX for MacOS is also available for download. Once installed, Samsung users can plug their Samsung smartphone to their Mac computer and DeX will automatically detect it and will open the app automatically. 

Samsung Dex will then create a desktop-like user interface for your phone where you can click and drag files from your smartphone to the Mac computer's folders.

Samsung Dex has also been updated to work without the use of a DeX specific dock or cable. The latest Samsung smartphones that support DeX can now use Dex with a compatible Samsung TV wirelessly or with a compatible Samsung TV/Monitor wirelessly with a USB-C to HDMI cable.

Samsung Galaxy TabS7+

Samsung Account - Galaxy users are prompted to sign-up for a Samsung account when they set-up their Galaxy device for the first time. Users have the option to save settings, files, call & text logs, and back-ups to the cloud.

This means that when the Samsung user gets a new device, their files, settings, call & text logs, and back-ups transfer over. This also means that a Galaxy phone and a Galaxy Tab with the same Samsung account can share files and settings.

Charge up to 3 devices with Wireless Charging Trio

Accessories - Samsung has also produced devices that can charge multiple Galaxy Devices at the same time like the Wireless Charger Duo and Wireless Charger Trio that was recently announced in Korea.

Super Fast Charging

Samsung power banks were also made to be able to charge Galaxy devices on the go.

Our thoughts

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ and Galaxy Watch3

It is clear that after several years of building on the interactivity and integration between Galaxy devices has gotten to a point where tangible convenience has been achieved in 2020.

It isn't perfect though. There are still some kinks that need to be ironed out but the current state of the Galaxy Ecosystem is at a point where it is more promising than other brand's ecosystems.
