Intel Unison Features and Setup

Intel Unison Features and Setup

Intel Unison was announced by Intel around September 2022 with claims of being able to transfer content from phones to PC wirelessly much like the Phone Link app but the biggest difference is that with Intel Unison, it actually works with iPhones!

Intel Unison came about from its acquisition of Screenovate late 2021. While this may not be a familiar brand, they actually developed the Dell Mobile Connect. With the acquisition, Intel was able to make an exclusive app to Dell a more widely available app to all becoming the Intel Unison.

In terms of purpose, Intel Unison makes content from your phone (Android or iPhone) easily accessible on the PC. While many of us spend time working on our laptops or PCs, we fail to miss out on notifications and tend to have delays in replies as a result. With Unison, notifications will pop up on the PC, check messages, photos, and even transfer “seamlessly” between the PC and phone.

Intel Unison App vs Phone Link App

Microsoft’s Phone Link Ap and Intel’s Unison are quite similar in the sense that they bridge the gap between a phone and PC. Though the Phone Link may seem superior in both UI and functionality, it lacks support for iOS devices. Although Intel Unison has just been released recently, we expect that there would be more advanced functions to be integrated like screen mirroring, app continuity, cross-device web browsing, and the ability to be able to use the mobile apps on the desktop are exclusive to devices from manufacturers like Samsung, OnePlus, and Microsoft.

The Phone Link app is only present on several devices.

Intel Unison Key Features

The Intel Unison app provides some neat features that allow access to the phone’s content on the go. Some of these are:

  1. Notifications:  Receive, Interact, and Respond to notifications from Windows devices.
  2. Text messaging: Read and Reply to messages directly from Windows devices
  3. Media preview: Preview, Sync, and Wirelessly transfer photos from phones to Windows PCs without the need for cables or card readers.
  4. File transfer: The need for third-party apps is now a thing of the past. Send and Receive files to and from Windows devices allowing users to drag and drop files between their phones and Windows computers.
  5. Phone calls: Make and Receive calls from Windows PCs or Laptops via Bluetooth.

System Requirements

The Intel Unison app was initially intended for the Intel Evo platform and device lineup which means that Intel needs to certify that a device meets a certain criteria like performance and usability but according to the Microsoft Store devices need to be at least on the Windows 11 version 22621.0 or higher build.

This means that the app should work seamlessly on non-Evo devices. Reports show that devices with an Intel 8th Generation Intel chip or higher and AMD Ryzen processors are supported.

While phone requirements indicate that the device must be running Android version 9 or higher while iPhones and iPads should be running iOS 15.0 or iPadOS 15.0 or higher respectively.

Needless to say, both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network for this to work.

Installing the Intel Unison App

To install the Intel Unison App, simply head to the Microsoft Store on your Windows 11 device and search for Intel Unison. While on your device, just search Intel Unison on Google Play Store or Apple App Store and install or simply click on the following links:

Samsung launches the Galaxy S23 Series Smartphones

The South Korean company has recently launched its latest flagship smartphone to the market, the Samsung Galaxy S23. This smartphone series is composed of three smartphones just like before and they’re focusing on these features for this series — a better night camera and also a sustainable design.

A similar design

Design-wise the Samsung Galaxy S23 series comes with a similar look to the previous generation with the Samsung Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23+ featuring an almost similar design with a different camera module. It now features protruding camera circles at the back which made it look thinner as well while the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra features almost the same design.

The biggest difference between the previous generation is that it now comes with a flatter side which makes it more ergonomic than before and the grip is a lot better on the whole Galaxy S23 series smartphones. For the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, it might have a similar look but the display has fewer curves which makes the display ideal to write on of course, there’s the S-Pen as well on the Ultra and it now comes with text recognition from photos so you can copy objects and texts to another app.

For the display of the smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series comes in 6.1″, 6.6″ and 6.8″ for the Galaxy S23, S23+ and Ultra variants respectively. While the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ are the only ones to pack a Full HD resolution while the Ultra variant comes with a QHD+ resolution. All of them packs a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz refresh rate.

Better battery 

For the battery, the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ got an upgrade with 200mAh battery on both smartphones. The smartphones are getting 3900mAh battery and also a 4700mAh battery inside respectively while the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is getting a 5000mAh battery which is similar to the previous generation

Powered by Snapdragon

Inside these devices is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and boy, there are a lot of upgrades for the CPU, GPU, and NPU. As for the RAM the smartphones come with 8GB of RAM and up to 12GB of RAM depending on the device. 

For the software, the smartphone comes with OneUI 5.1 and they added more features including more flexible widgets and now, you can crop and copy objects or people just like on the iPhone without needing any other application.

Big camera upgrade

For the camera features of the smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ come with a 50MP main camera while the Galaxy S23 Ultra features a better 200MP main camera and just like before, the Ultra version comes with a better camera and better zooming capabilities.

Compared to the previous generation, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series smartphone is a lot better especially in terms of nightography as the smartphone now comes with night selfie, night portrait, and better night videos. So whether you want to use it for photos or video, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series smartphone is a big upgrade.

 

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series is just an incremental upgrade from the previous generation but if you want a smartphone that comes with one of the best cameras, a better grip, and ergonomics then you might want to take a look at these smartphones.
