Why should Microsoft cooperate with Samsung?

A few days ago, Samsung released a brand-new flagship mobile phone Galaxy S8/S8+. This new flagship mobile phone has been well received by the outside world because of its full-view curved screen with unlimited dream display, ultra-high screen ratio, cancellation of physical home button, rear fingerprint recognition and brand-new Bibxy artificial intelligence assistant.

However, the cooperation between Microsoft and Samsung is really surprising. This is the first time that Microsoft has used this form to cooperate with new Android devices to promote its own Android application ecosystem. Previously, Microsoft cooperated with some Android manufacturers to pre-install Microsoft applications in their smartphone products.

In fact, the cooperation between Microsoft and Samsung is to get what they need.

According to reports, Microsoft UK has removed all Lumia Windows Phone phones from official stores in the UK, and now only two Win 10 phones from third-party OEMs are on sale. Lumia mobile phone, as the main hardware carrier of Win 10 mobile system, has existed in name only.

1, DeX on PC

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series can directly start the DeX desktop mode (Samsung's Android desktop mode) on the Windows desktop when connecting to a Windows computer with a data cable, and users can seamlessly switch between the Windows desktop and the DeX desktop. You can also check mobile phone notifications directly on the computer, reply to text messages, and even drag and drop files between the two.

2. Link to Windows

In the notification panel of Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series, the option of linking to Windows has been added. This button can be quickly paired with your mobile phone application on Windows 10 (a Microsoft application that can mirror the mobile phone screen), and Note 10/ 10+ will be the first device to add this button.

3、OneDrive

Photo albums and video applications on Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series will provide the option to synchronize to OneDrive.

4. Pre-installed office series barrels

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series will be pre-installed with Office buckets, including Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook.

5. Microsoft sells Galaxy Note 10.

The CEO of Samsung Electronics made it clear that the re-established partnership between Samsung and Microsoft is not only a marketing tool, but also will have a significant impact on future users of Windows 10 and Galaxy smartphones.
