Googlebook "Better Together" phone features don't work with Samsung at launch
Googlebooks require Android 17, but Samsung's Android 17 phones won't work yet.
Googlebooks, Google's latest attempt to enter the premium laptop market, are experiencing frustrating limitations with Samsung devices. Despite Google's claims that the laptops are engineered to work seamlessly with Android phones right out of the box, early adopters have reported issues. The Better Together features, including app streaming, file access, notification mirroring, and seamless switching between phone and laptop, are not currently supported on Samsung devices.
While Google representatives have confirmed that these integrations won't work with Samsung phones like the Z Fold 8, an update bringing support to Samsung devices is expected to roll out in the coming weeks.
