A pretty wild rumor recently suggested that Samsung is developing a DeX notebook. Or, more specifically, the so-called DeXbook would combine the in-house desktop experience with Google’s ChromeOS. It’s a far-out idea but might work under the right circumstances. Or, at the very least, it would be a unique experiment to behold. However, as an […]
Read MoreSamsung may be developing a new device for its DeX platform. What is it? By the sound of it, it’s anybody’s guess. But rumors say it’s called DeXbook.

Read MoreThe Galaxy Z Flip line of clamshell foldables from Samsung is not exactly as flagship-grade as some of us would like. While you get a lot of high-end features, such as the latest Snapdragon chips and 120Hz AMOLED displays, Galaxy Z Flip smartphones are lacking in some areas. The cameras, for example, are not as […]

Read MoreAs much as I enjoy using numerous Samsung hardware and software products, one of the areas I very much dislike about the company’s mobile business is how it markets keyboard cover accessories for Galaxy tablets. In short, I think Samsung’s tablet keyboard cover accessories are ridiculously pricey. I’ve complained about this before, but now that […]
Read MoreSamsung DeX is a fantastic mobile desktop environment with great potential, but it isn’t the most powerful solution for a PC replacement you could find. Every little bit of performance gain counts, and as such, Samsung DeX is best used directly on-device on tablets or by connecting a Galaxy phone or tablet to a TV […]
Read MoreI started doing office work exclusively on Samsung DeX a year ago, and I figured it was time for a yearly update on my journey. When I began using DeX on my Galaxy Note 10 — before switching to the Galaxy S22+ — I didn’t think I’d get this much usage out of Samsung’s desktop […]

Read MoreOne UI 5 might be the best update Samsung DeX got in years, which is totally fine by me, considering that I became an exclusive Samsung DeX user a little under a year ago when I was still rocking the Galaxy Note 10 running One UI 4.1. I later switched to the Galaxy S22+, which […]
Read MoreSamsung DeX doesn’t need an introduction, but some hidden features may deserve a more thorough explanation. For example, even though you could argue that DeX isn’t meant for power users, the desktop environment for mobile has a few advanced features you might not expect. Did you know that DeX implements window snapping better than even […]

Read MoreOver the past half a year, I’ve become an avid Samsung DeX user. To my surprise, considering some of the DeX doomsayers that have popped up online over the years, Samsung continues to improve the platform and has done so with every One UI update.
