Enhance Your Samsung Experience with Samsung DeX
Modern smartphones are powerful devices, but did you know your Samsung Galaxy phone can function as a desktop computer as well? Thanks to Samsung DeX, a feature that debuted in 2017, you can transform your phone into a desktop-like experience by connecting it to a monitor or computer.
DeX stands for “desktop experience,” and it delivers just that – a seamless transition from mobile to desktop interface.
To enjoy the benefits of DeX, you’ll need a recent premium Samsung phone or tablet. Devices like the Galaxy S series, Galaxy Fold, and Galaxy Flip released after 2017 are compatible. Check the full list here.
Connecting your phone to a monitor requires a cable, along with a mouse and keyboard for a complete desktop experience. While DeX allows you to use mobile apps on a larger screen, the added real estate improves productivity whether you’re working on documents or enjoying multimedia.
Easy Setup for Maximum Productivity
Setting up Samsung DeX is straightforward. You can connect your device to a monitor via HDMI or to a Windows PC via USB. While macOS support has been discontinued, the user experience remains consistent across devices.
For a monitor setup, you’ll need a USB-C to HDMI cable or adapter. Ensure your monitor has spare USB ports for peripheral devices like a keyboard and mouse.
