The speaker, Bram from Bright, discusses Samsung's Galaxy ecosystem, focusing on the Samsung S23 series and the Samsung Galaxy Book 3. He mentions the seamless integration of Samsung devices and services, similar to how Apple's ecosystem works. He also talks about how Samsung devices can be used as remote controls for smart TVs and how Samsung buds are almost as integrated as Airpods in Apple's system.
Bram highlights the advanced integrations Samsung has achieved, such as using a smartphone as a remote control for a smart TV and streaming files from the phone screen to the TV. He also discusses the Samsung Buds' integration with smartphones, books, and watches, and how they can automatically take over the stream from one of these devices.
The speaker also talks about the Samsung Smart Things app, which allows users to easily find their devices, even when they are offline. He mentions the Quick Share feature on most Samsung devices, which allows for easy file transfer between devices.
Bram discusses the Samsung DeX feature, which allows users to use their smartphone as a desktop by plugging it into a USB-C cable. He also mentions how Samsung apps can be opened directly on a Windows computer, and how users can control their phone using their taskbar on their laptop.
However, Bram notes that while the Samsung system is well underway, it requires users to take extra steps to join the ecosystem, unlike other tech companies. He concludes by stating that while he appreciates the open systems of Android, he does not see any advantage at the moment in transferring his smart home from Google Home to the Samsung Smart Things app.
