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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
