Samsung DeX and the New Desktop Experience
summary
Samsung DeX now runs on Windows 7/10 and macOS as DeX for PC launched with Galaxy Note10 in August and expands to more models soon, letting the phone power desktop apps with drag-and-drop and copy‑paste between Android and PC. Phones with up to 1 TB act as portable storage and single source of logged‑in apps. No special SDK is required; optimizing an app typically takes three to four weeks by supporting resizable activities, responsive UI, keyboard/mouse input and handling configuration changes. Linux on DeX is paused and wireless and multi‑monitor support remain under evaluation.
