*REPOST BECAUSE I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE TWEET*

The Samsung/Windows ecosystem is, what most people would consider, on par with Apple's. It's very underrated.

[Thread] 👇
First of all, on windows, you can get apps that are from the microsoft store that are compatible with samsung devices such as Samsung Gallery, Samsung DeX, Samsung Notes and Your Phone;
Samsung Gallery is self explanatory, it shows you your pictures and your pictures from...
...your samsung or onedrive cloud.
Samsung Notes, is basically the same thing. It also updates live. Let's say I edit my second note about my assistant video, it will edit it on my phone the second I save.
As for Samsung DeX, it's the only one that'll require you to plug in...
...your phone to your PC (It'll also require you to turn off "Link to Windows" or "Your Phone") but basically, for those who don't know, it will "transform" your phone into a PC-like experience. This supports drag and drop from your PC to DeX and vice-versa. Using this, you...
...can play videos/music directly from DeX and have the sound shoot out of your PC's speakers. For example, I sometimes use it to play the music that's on my phone from my PC's speakers.
Now for "Your Phone". Your Phone is an app that links your Samsung phone with your PC. I use it almost every single day for different purposes. You can use it for messaging, Copying photos (or downloading them), Checking, receiving, removing and replying to notifications.
You can also control media from there. For example, I was listening to music and I can: play, pause, skip, go back right from the app. I can also see my battery (which is not super relevant, let's face it). Now, there is also universal copy pasting. Let's say I copy something...
from my phone, I can paste it on my pc (or vice-versa) [copying this text, and the screenshot also got copied to my pc]. You can also call from your PC directly and use your mic/speakers (only option that needs bluetooth on your pc, which most laptops have).
You can also drag and drop files just like on DeX

Now. Let's get to the good stuff. Apps and Screen-sharing. You can screen-share your phone's screen on your PC very easily and type something directly from your keyboard. It is surprisingly incredibly smooth and enjoyable to use.
It also adapts to your phone's screen size so it doesn't look distorted.

Now let's get to the apps part. You can run apps directly on your PC while doing something else on your phone. This is not the same thing as screen-sharing âš  You run the app directly on your PC...
As you can see on this screenshot, there's my phone's screen on the first window, second, third and fourth apps are all different apps that are not running on the phone screen itself. (You can also see that at the bottom, the last 3 icons are the 3 apps).
One thing I forgot to mention (which I still think is pretty important) is that your phone automatically connects to your pc when you turn it on.

There's possibly more that I missed and do not use such as opera touch, penup, galaxy buds connect...
Since this is a big thread, I don't expect much attention. I'll just add this to my pinned tweet so I/you can refer to it in the future in case people mention the ecosystems.
I'm sorry for this repost. I know it will get nowhere near as much attention as it got, it was dumb of me to accidentally delete that.
Every like/retweet to the first tweet is greatly appreciated ♥
