Google is rolling out updates that fix launch issues with Googlebook “Better Together” syncing on Samsung Galaxy phones. Multiple outlets report that the key cross-device features are now working more reliably, including improved setup and functionality for non-Pixel Android users.
The problem appears to have centered on the initial absence or malfunction of Samsung support, despite Google’s marketing positioning the laptop as an Android companion. Android Police and Android Authority both describe the restoration of Samsung compatibility, while 9to5Google adds that the “Better Together” features were initially in a “messy” state and highlights missing or incomplete Samsung device support. Droid Life similarly frames the update as the arrival of Better Together compatibility for Samsung owners, aligning the experience with Google’s promotional claims. Overall, sources agree Googlebook updates are being released in stages and are meant to close the gap that affected Samsung users at launch.
