Samsung Galaxy Book 4 With Microsoft to Allow Using Galaxy Phones as Webcam and More

Samsung Galaxy Book 4 series was unveiled in December 2023. The lineup consists of the Galaxy Book 4 Pro, Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360, and an Ultra model. Now, at CES 2024, Samsung announced that these models will offer improved connectivity and AI features to users. In partnership with Microsoft, Samsung will allow Galaxy Book 4 users to connect their Galaxy smartphones or tablets to the laptops to enhance select features. The company is yet to confirm the availability of these features.

In a blog post, Samsung confirmed its collaboration with Microsoft that will help integrate new AI-backed connectivity features into the Galaxy Book 4 models. With Microsoft’s Copilot, Galaxy Book 4 users can connect their Galaxy smartphones to the laptops and use the handset’s camera as the PC webcam. This can be used in video conferencing applications like Microsoft Teams.

Connecting a Galaxy Book 4 with a Galaxy smartphone will enable users to access a higher image quality thanks to higher resolution rear and front cameras. It is also said to bring access to additional features like Background Blur and Auto-framing. Using the Galaxy smartphone camera as a PC webcam will also allow free switching between front and back cameras with a single click to accommodate any setup.

The new, smart connectivity features will also allow users to access all the applications of their Galaxy phones on their Galaxy Book 4 laptops. With integrated Copilot features, users can track, explore, and navigate different apps. This can allow them to create and send text messages directly from the PC. For instance, users can access a restaurant recommendation shared with them via text on the laptop, browse its location and reviews, make a reservation, and share its details with their friends from their laptop, without having to scramble through different applications on their phone.

Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy Book 4 users can connect an additional Galaxy device like the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra that can be used as an additional screen to help improve productivity. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro can be used for clear, low-latency calls on PCs. Several Galaxy products are said to be compatible with these features. The company, however, noted that the availability of these features will vary by market and device. It added that users will need a mandatory Microsoft account login to access these features.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro to Launch Next Year Alongside New Galaxy Z-Series Foldable Phones: Report

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro truly wireless stereo (TWS) headset is likely to launch next year, according to a report. The upcoming model is expected to debut alongside the next-generation Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip models. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro was launched last year alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 foldable smartphones. The premium wireless audio headset with active noise cancellation (ANC) packs coaxial two-way speakers and supports 24-bit Hi-Fi audio.

Citing industry sources, SamMobile reports that Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in 2024 as a new high-end pair of earbuds. They could debut alongside the next Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is expected to bring general improvements to sound quality, noise cancellation, and battery life.

Samsung was earlier speculated to release the successor to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro this year, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. The brand, however, skipped the launch of the premium Galaxy Buds Pro variant this year. As an alternative, it introduced the affordable Galaxy Buds FE. They are Samsung’s most affordable earbuds in the lineup to date.

It is recommended to take the details shared in the report with a pinch of salt, as there is currently no word from Samsung on plans to launch the next generation of its Galaxy Buds Pro TWS earbuds.

To recall, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro (Review) was launched in July last year for Rs. 17,999. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are priced at EUR 109 (roughly Rs. 8,000) in the UK. In India, they cost Rs. 9,999 and are offered in Graphite and White colour options.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE TWS earbuds have touch controls and offer ANC support. They have an IPX2-rated build for splash resistance and are claimed to deliver up to six hours of battery life with ANC enabled. They support both SBC and AAC audio codecs.
