Samsung may have leaked Copilot features for its Galaxy Book4 devices
Samsung’s latest AI-friendly Galaxy Book4 series has already been launched, along with an official site detailing the devices’ features. But one particular screenshot seems to have prematurely revealed some Windows Copilot features in particular.
We can reasonably assume there will be connectivity between Microsoft’s AI assistant and Galaxy phones, with the promotional image showing Copilot’s capabilities in this area, including using apps, summarizing texts and sending messages directly from your computer.
There are several word prompts in the screenshot showing what you can do, such as requesting reminders about recent messages, copying links from messages, replying to previous messages, looking up email addresses, finding contacts, or composing emails for quotes. And according to the official site, these features will come to Galaxy Book4 series devices in Spring 2024.
This leak is consistent with the Samsung Galaxy Book4, as the lineup comes equipped with a special Copilot key that Microsoft has insisted on all upcoming Windows devices. But we’ll definitely find out more about Copilot with Galaxy Book4 (and likely other laptops) at Microsoft’s March 21 event.
Can Microsoft make Copilot work?
Microsoft is still committed to implementing AI at scale in its Windows laptops and desktop PCs using Copilot as a catalyst. While some of these features are useful, AI is a nexus being put on the huge gap that is causing the problems with Windows 11.
While it’s approaching a solid operating system thanks to constant updates, there’s no real incentive for Windows 10 users to upgrade. This means that the overwhelming number of users are still using an operating system that does not have the full Copilot suite. Currently, the user base for Windows 10 stands at 67.23%, while Windows 11 only has 28.18%, which is a serious problem because Microsoft needs a much larger user base on Win11 to successfully execute its AI plans.
We’ll have to wait and see if the Copilot strategy will pan out for Microsoft or if the AI assistant will go the way of the original Clippy – which admittedly would be quite entertaining if it did.
