What is Samsung DeX?

Samsung DeX is a versatile accessory that transforms compatible Galaxy smartphones into a desktop-like computing experience. By connecting a keyboard, mouse, and external display, users can access a full-fledged desktop interface, enhancing productivity and multitasking capabilities. The DeX dock provides essential ports, including USB-C, Ethernet, HDMI 2.0, and USB 2.0, enabling seamless connectivity to various peripherals. Additionally, Samsung's "Linux on Galaxy" feature allows users to run a compatible Linux distribution directly on their DeX-enabled device, unlocking the potential for advanced personal computing tasks. The accessibility of DeX has been further improved with the introduction of native support for the Note 9 and Tab S4, where a simple HDMI connection is all that's required to activate the desktop mode. Users can even continue utilizing their device as a touchpad or maintain regular smartphone functionality while the DeX environment is active on the external display
