Fun Ways to Use SideSync

A few months ago, we introduced the ‘Samsung SideSync’, a remarkable technological breakthrough that allows your Samsung ATIV PCs and smartphones to work together as one. We’d like to revisit the SideSync today and show you some of the amazing features.

SideSync can be used in two modes, Keyboard and Mouse-sharing and Phone Screen Sharing, enabling you to freely select and drag items with your computer mouse and keyboard while using your smartphone as a dual monitor and a USB device for your PC. You can also recharge your smartphone while duplicating all data from your smartphone and copy them over to your PC with the Auto Backup feature

Wondering if you can play smartphone games on your PC? Want to answer a call while still connected to the computer? We know we did, so we did some testing to find out. Check out how far Samsung ATIV SideSync took us!

Watching DMB on a PC monitor

First, we tested if we can watch our favorite TV program, which is run on the DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) application on our smartphone, on our ATIV PC via SideSync. As soon as we pulled out the antenna of our smartphones, the TV screen on our smartphones appeared on the PC screen. It was amazing that we could also change the channels and volumes and adjust the screen size to suit our needs.

Playing smartphone games using a computer mouse

Second, we tested if we could play smartphone games on our ATIV PC. We played our favorite game, Angry Birds, making the screen very big on our PC screen to see it better. To our surprise, we were able to pull the sling shot with the computer mouse!

Calling and texting on a PC

Last, we wanted to see if we could call and text our close friends on our PC. We tried calling our friend and surprisingly he picked up! Also, we tried sending a text message, changing the language setting simultaneously. It was much easier to send a text on the PC than using our smartphones.

Now with SideSync, our lives have become much smarter with the convenience of ATIV products. Try out the SideSync yourself and have a much more convenient life!
