A modern smartphone needs to wear many hats, just like the people who purchase them. It needs to deliver a great visual experience with a rich display and bevy of cameras, not to mention lasting a full day and then some.

Added to this is the ability to complement you while working and being a true tool that enhances your productivity. This as the lines that once separated work and play have blurred in recent years, which means you need a great value for money smartphone that offers the best of both.

Luckily Samsung has not one, but two phones, that do just that with the latest iteration in the Galaxy A Series – the Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G.

Both devices deliver class leading performance and connectivity, along with featuring an eye catching design that is as durable as it is aesthetically pleasing.

We can wax lyrical about the specifications and features of the Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G all day, but when it comes to productivity, there is one aspect in particular that warrants mentioning – Link to Windows.

Much like Samsung DeX, which provides an enriched productivity experience on a larger display, Link to Windows allows you to pair your Samsung Galaxy A Series phone with a Windows 10 or 11-powered PC or notebook. Connections between the devices are facilitated over WiFi, so there is no need for cluttered cables to get in the way.

Once paired, you are able to seamlessly copy, paste or transfer files from your Galaxy A series phone to your PC or notebook, and vice versa. This means that getting information, images or documents from one device to the other is handled in only a few quick clicks of your mouse.

Added to this is the ability to answer calls and reply to text messages directly from your desktop or notebook screen. This allows you to focus on one screen and zero in on your desired level of productivity. For those working from home, remotely, on the move, at the office or in a hybrid model, this functionality is superb when multitasking is a must.

Another great function is the ability to launch selected mobile applications to your desktop, with casting to your Windows 10/11 device’s display easily taken care of by selecting “approve”. Once done you can once again multitask unencumbered by having to look at two or more screens while working.

While the Samsung Galaxy A Series is known for powering awesome creativity, with Link to Windows it is able to deliver awesome productivity too.
