Once Flow is installed on a user’s eligible Samsung devices it comes to life with the Android share button or, with some apps, a special Flow button. “With Flow you can change devices in the midst of an activity or pause an activity until you’re ready,” the vendor said.Īs expected, there are some differences between Continuity and Flow (gotta love these names, no?) For one, users have to instruct Flow about the activity or task to transfer between devices, including the destination target. The beta version is available on Google Play and, while the app is available only on the select devices, Samsung is positioning the feature as a platform not “just an application,” urging developers to add it into their apps. Now, Samsung officially has released the Flow tool, which is still in beta for now and only supports a few of Samsung’s latest devices, including Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, Galaxy S5, Galaxy Alpha, Note 4, Note Edge, or Galaxy Tab S, with the latter the lone supported tablet. In other words, just because you’ve starting browsing the Web on your Galaxy S6 smartphone doesn’t mean you have to finish there–you can transfer your session to a Samsung phablet or a tablet. Last November, at its developers’ conference the vendor unwrapped a nifty little app called Flow that, for all intents and purposes, amounted to its version of Apple’s (AAPL) Continuity–a service that allows users of its products to toggle tasks back and forth between devices. That’s good news for channel partners selling enterprise mobility solutions into business accounts. Samsung has been saying for a while now that interconnection between its devices was one of its linchpins for 2015.
