Android phones and Chromebooks are the perfect device ecosystem that work better together.

Samsung and Google are Better Together.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is a pocketful of personality. It's a compact, foldable Android phone with an impressive 3.4inch cover screen on the front. This means that even when you fold the phone, you can still make calls, take photos with a selfie preview screen, or reply to messages. Similarly, Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 flips too, but on a larger scale. With a 2-in-1 touchscreen design, this Chromebook allows you to type, touch and draw1 making it the perfect companion for both work and play.

You can connect your Android Phone and Chromebook to unite the two, for a seamless Samsung-Google ecosystem. It's as simple as linking the two devices in Chromebook's Phone Hub. This combination gives you so much more than each device on its own. From syncing passwords to sharing files, life is a little easier when Android phones and Chromebooks are hand-in-hand.

No more hide and seek with your phone.

We've all been there; your phone is missing in action and it’s on silent. You last remember having it on the sofa, but you can't find it even when you've turned all the pillows upside down and back again. Luckily, you can pair your Samsung with Google’s software magic and use Chromebook to find your phone. Tap the "Locate phone" option in Phone Hub on your Chromebook and your phone will alert you even when it’s on silent. We can almost guarantee the phone is under that one pillow you didn't double-check.

Take (and share) high-resolution selfies.

Capturing the perfect group selfie – without accidentally cropping one person out – is an ongoing struggle for even the savviest phone photographers. But with Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5, you can get the perfect high-resolution shot hands-free. Simply fold and prop up the screen with Flex Mode and say "Hey Google, take a selfie" to take a photo. Once you've got the perfect shot, you’ll automatically find it in the “Recent photos” section of Phone Hub on your connected Chromebook. You can also share your other photos and files from your phone to your Chromebook using Quick Share.

Your devices remember, even when you don't.

Picture this: you're mid-way through your new favourite series. Suddenly, you realise the time, and you've got to dash out. You desperately want to carry on streaming on your phone, but you’ve been logged out of your streaming account, and you can't remember the password. Frustrating, right? Fortunately, Password Sync shares and saves your passwords across your devices, meaning you can easily log in and continue watching your show on the go.

And it works for more than just streaming. Your email passwords, Wi-Fi, search history, and bookmarks also sync across your phone and Chromebook. Plus, if you ever want to delete or update your details, your devices will keep up, thanks to the seamless tech ecosystem.

Takeaways:

  1. Easily access your passwords, recent tabs and bookmarks from either device, so you can always pick up where you left off.
  2. Automatically sync photos from your phone to your Chromebook to view and edit your content on a larger screen.
  3. With the latest Samsung devices, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Chromebook 2 360, you get this seamless ecosystem built in.
