What is Continuum continuity? Win10 Mobile connected to the big screen experience

win10 Mobile will be released later this year, and with the release of new mobile phone products, an important feature of the new system is Phone Continuum & mdash; — Chinese is called continuity. Microsoft has shown this feature more than once, let's take a look at how the experience feels.

The so-called "continuity" feature has many different small features, such as projecting the content on the screen of a mobile phone onto a larger screen. Previously Microsoft used a mobile phone prototype device and Miracast. The content on the screen is wirelessly projected onto the TV screen and then connected to the phone via a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. A mobile PC is built, provided that the large screen device also supports Miracast. Of course, if you don't support Miracast, you can connect by other methods, but Miracast is the most convenient and you don't need to connect cables. After the connection is completed, it is really similar to the PC. Coupled with the Microsoft Universal Apps strategy, such as the Office suite across the desktop and mobile platforms, the desktop experience is actually better.

A big problem that Microsoft hopes to expand its mobile phone into a PC earlier is that even if it is expanded to a large screen, it is just an analogy of the application interface, rather than doing it right. Keyboard operation is more friendly —— Android and iOS are actually like this. And Universal Apps is doing very well in this regard. For example, if you open Outlook on the mobile PC set up above, the Outlook interface displayed on the big screen is very suitable for mouse and keyboard operations —— this is A real desktop experience.

For example, right mouse click, keyboard shortcuts, drag and drop, etc., are supported in the whole process —— of course, it is not a perfect support, some desktop features still do not exist For example, there is no icon on the desktop. But don't forget that it's still an early version of the Phone Continuum feature.

The future continuity feature is expected to become an important feature of the new Windows Phone flagship —— I believe this will be very useful for business users, but it may be that the phone needs to be more powerful in performance. It’s ok.

It's not hard to imagine that in the future you will work on your mobile phone and have a full Office experience. You can use the mouse and keyboard to operate on a large screen. To show any content to your customers, bring your phone in the past. Even the operation of returning to an email can get rid of laptops and PCs, and it is a good thing to save IT hardware costs for enterprises.

The entire experience is quite smooth, including the expansion of the phone screen to the big screen, and the connection of the phone to the keyboard and mouse is very simple, there is no delay in opening the application. This may be the future of mobile office. Even in the future, our mobile phone can handle most of the tasks, which was previously done with the help of a PC. (cnBeta)
