When the Galaxy S20 launches next month, you'll be able to quickly copy and paste text and data across your phone and Windows 10 computer. This is an expansion of the Microsoft Your Phone app, which has steadily turned into the best way to merge the functionality between your smartphone and PC.
New features of this app tend to hit Samsung phones first, and this looks like it'll be no exception.
Galaxy S20 and Windows 10
This new feature will roll out to the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra, as well as Samsung's folding Galaxy Z Flip. We would expect this to trickle down to other Samsung devices at some point, but for right now it'll just be the 2020 flagships.

This feature will allow you to copy and paste across devices so long as it's enabled in the Your Phone settings. It works across WiFi and LTE, so regardless of your internet connection you can take advantage of the feature. Any images over 1MB in size will be automatically resized, however. You will be able to keep using the same copy/paste functions on each respective device, so you don't need to worry about learning new shortcuts or features.
Your Phone and RCS Messaging
Besides copying and pasting across your devices, Microsoft will also allow you to send RCS messages in Windows if you have a Galaxy S20. You'll have to use Samsung Messages as the default app, since that's where Samsung has implemented RCS on their phones, but after that it should almost work like a Windows-native version of iMessage.
Once again, that feature seems like it'll exclusively be available on the Galaxy S20 at first. It's rare for anything like that to stay exclusive to a high-end, $1000 flagship though, so keep an eye out for that to trickle down to older and lower-end phones over time.
