DeX transforms the interface on your Samsung phone or tablet into something that looks closer to a Windows PC or Mac desktop.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 651px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-714025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-16_14-27-11.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"dex mode UI\" width=\"651\" height=\"322\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">DeX Mode Interface<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The DeX software is built in to many high-end Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets. The idea is that you connect your device to a larger display, keyboard, and mouse, and then DeX Mode kicks in. The interface changes to better match your needs.<\/p>\n<p>The DeX Mode interface is familiar to anyone who has ever used a desktop operating system. There\u2019s a \u201cdesktop\u201d for folders and apps, a taskbar across the bottom, and windows that can float and be resized. All of this runs from your connected Galaxy device. It\u2019s Android with a special layer on top.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/18821\/pluggables-usb-c-phone-cube-is-good-for-samsung-dex-and-not-much-else\/\"><strong><em>Plugable&#8217;s Phone Cube Is the Best Option for Samsung DeX (If You&#8217;re Into That)<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the beginning, DeX required Samsung\u2019s proprietary <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/18821\/pluggables-usb-c-phone-cube-is-good-for-samsung-dex-and-not-much-else\/\">docking station<\/a>. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor plugged into the dock, and then the phone was placed in to bring the system to life.

Now, DeX can be launched by directly connecting the phone or tablet to a computer with its charging cable, and some Galaxy tablets can run DeX Mode right on the tablet without connecting anything.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Use_DeX_Mode\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_WhyUseDeXMode\">Why Use DeX Mode?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-714023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-16_14-27-09.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"samsung dex mode\" width=\"649\" height=\"411\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>To a lesser extent, smartphones and tablets aren\u2019t as good for multitasking as desktop computers. It\u2019s hard to beat a keyboard and mouse with a generously sized monitor. But what you gain in productivity, you lose in portability.<\/p>\n<p>We tend to keep a lot of our personal lives on our phones and tablets. The idea behind DeX is that you always have that stuff immediately accessible, whether you\u2019re on your \u201ccomputer\u201d or mobile device. The software conforms to your environment.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t need a full desktop PC, a Samsung phone with DeX Mode can allow you to consolidate devices. You could have a docking station at home for doing homework and pop out the phone when you leave. All of your stuff will always be with you.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of tablets that can use DeX Mode on the device itself, it\u2019s simply an alternative user interface. The typical Android UI may be better suited for media consumption, but DeX Mode makes it feel more like a convertible PC.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Samsung_Devices_Support_DeX_Mode\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_WhichSamsungDevicesSupportDeXMode\">Which Samsung Devices Support DeX Mode?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>DeX is available on most modern Samsung Galaxy smartphones, along with a few Galaxy Tab tablets. Samsung launched DeX on the Galaxy S8 series for phones and the Galaxy Tab S4 for tablets. Any high-end Samsung Galaxy device newer than that will have DeX.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Samsung DeX might not have universal appeal, but for those who want more from their smartphone or tablet, it\u2019s a game-changer. You don\u2019t have to choose between using a computer or a mobile device. People envisioned a future of devices that can change to match many different needs, and DeX is a part of that future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
