Infotainment screens inside cars are becoming bigger each year, and most people are using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay for most of their navigation and music playback needs.

Samsung’s DeX notebook needs to evolve the platform to be taken seriously

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 […]

Samsung may be working on a DeX-ChromeOS hybrid notebook powered by Exynos

Samsung 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. And if that name sounds familiar, it’s because it has now re-emerged after more than three years of silence. At the beginning of 2020, DeXbook was rumored […]

Exclusive: Galaxy Z Flip 5 will be smallest Samsung phone to support DeX

The 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 […]

Our Samsung DeX One UI 6.0 wishlist to make the platform greater

Samsung DeX keeps improving with every new major firmware update, and both One UI 5.0 and One UI 5.1 have brought the desktop experience on mobile closer to perfection.

I don’t hate iPhones. I just can’t live without my Galaxy phone

I don’t count myself among those who hate the iPhone. I may not agree with Apple’s prices and practices sometimes, but I can’t say that I love or hate the company’s iOS-powered smartphones. I’m somewhere in the middle. I could live with an iPhone as my daily driver without ever using an Android device again, […]

Samsung’s ridiculous tablet keyboard cover prices are hurting DeX

As 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 […]

There is a way to lower input lag when using Samsung DeX wirelessly

Samsung 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 […]

Why I keep using Samsung DeX, and why not a Chromebook?

I 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 […]

If you use Samsung DeX and have experienced apps force-closing on you, we may have found a solution that might help against this issue. You can try assigning your most-used DeX apps to the “Never sleeping apps” list in One UI. If your phone runs low on memory, it decides which apps to close to […]

I can’t believe Samsung DeX is missing this very obvious feature

DeX became one of my favorite Samsung features last year. Fast forward 12 months later, and here we are today, with DeX being the One UI feature I use the most. I run DeX on my Galaxy S22+ with One UI 5.1 or my Galaxy Tab S7 FE with One UI 5.0 almost daily, and […]

One UI 5 might be the best Samsung DeX update in years

One 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 […]

One UI feature focus: Samsung DeX keyboard shortcuts

Samsung DeX doesn’t need an introduction, but some hidden features may deserve a more thorough explanation.

I’ll skip the Galaxy S23 and upgrade to the Z Flip 5 on one condition

I’m a happy Galaxy S22+ user, especially after the One UI 5.0 update. And unless Samsung really manages to surprise me with the Galaxy S23 series in early February, I intend to keep it that way for a while longer. In other words, as of this writing, I don’t plan to upgrade from the Galaxy […]
