Samsung DeX

Samsung DeX is a tool that addresses anyone who wants to trade their laptop or PC with their Galaxy device. Therefore, the role of the application is to turn your smartphone or tablet into a desktop-like experience, which can actually be a game changer if you decide to use a large monitor or TV.

Allows you to take multitasking to the next level

Following a quick installation, you are prompted to connect your mobile device using the dedicated USB cable. To make sure that you avoid any issues at this step, it is recommended that you wait until the mobile device is recognized by the computer and make sure that the USB drivers are updated to their latest version.
The idea behind the tool is to bring laptop / computer and mobile devices together on a single screen, while still being able to work and use the individual features of both of them. Therefore, while working on your laptop, you can access messages, take calls or check notifications on mobile from the same screen.
Despite the impressive stats of the new mobile devices, it is still pretty early for tablets or phones to perform heavy productivity tasks. The future features of the tool will reveal whether Samsung manages to crack the code and allows you to ditch computers for mobile devices.

Works with the latest Samsung smartphones and tablets

It is worth mentioning that the latest version of the tool works with Note 10, 10+ and S20 series without the need for extra hardware. However, if you are using a previous device built under the Samsung Flagship since 2017 – when the app was launched – you may need to acquire various hardware, depending on how old your device is.
Even though it does not work with all flagship devices, Samsung DeX can be an interesting tool for anyone who wants more working flexibility or using the computer power of the mobile to complete work tasks.
