Samsung is currently the only Android manufacturer with an integration similar to the Apple ecosystem, offering a seamless connection between its Galaxy devices. Through tools like Quick Share and the ability to copy and paste text between devices, users enjoy a unified experience. Now, with the arrival of One UI 7, this connection will deepen thanks to a new “Camera Continuity” feature.

This feature is similar to Apple’s Continuity Camera, but with an important difference: Apple’s version integrates with any application, while Samsung’s seems limited to its own apps.
Mishaal Rahman, from Android Authority, discovered the Camera Continuity feature in the latest One UI 7 beta, although it is not fully operational yet. For it to work, devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, within Bluetooth range, and with the same Samsung account. Although it would be expected, it is currently unknown if Samsung will extend this new functionality to more apps, as it currently only works with Samsung Notes and Samsung Internet.
The update will also bring other notable features, such as the ability to use the Galaxy mobile camera as a webcam for a Galaxy Book or a tablet. Something similar debuted in One UI 6.1.1 with the Galaxy S24 series, but it will now be extended to more devices with the new version of the system.
Another innovation could be Storage Share, which will allow wireless exploration of phone files from a Galaxy laptop or tablet. With these improvements, Samsung continues to strengthen its ecosystem and offer alternatives to compete directly with Apple.
