Hidden Samsung Galaxy Features That Will Make Your Phone Even Better – SlashGear
Are you ready to turn your Samsung Galaxy into a computer? Well, if you own a compatible Samsung Galaxy phone, mouse, keyboard, and monitor you could convert these into a full desktop experience. With access to all the files and apps installed on your Galaxy device, DeX allows users to increase productivity with a fully functioning workstation.
Now before you get too excited, note that DeX isn’t available on all Samsung Galaxy devices. In fact, it’s limited to a select few models only. Furthermore, depending on the type of accessories and external monitors you have, the setup process may vary. With that said, we have summarized the most popular instructions that should work with nearly all Samsung Dex devices.
How to setup DeX on your Samsung Galaxy device:
- Connect a USB-C to HDMI cable to your Samsung Galaxy device and HDMI monitor.
- Swipe down from your “Home screen” to access the “Quick settings panel” and tap “DeX.”
- If it’s your first time using Samsung DeX, a pop-up window may appear, select “Continue,” and then “Start.”
- Your external monitor should now display a desktop interface.
DeX can also be set up wirelessly with a TV, but this is further restricted to the Note 20, S21, and S22 at the time of this writing. Furthermore, the display must support Miracast technology or be a 2018 Samsung Smart TV for the very least. To set up Samsung DeX wirelessly:
- Swipe down from the “Quick settings panel.”
- Tap “Dex” on the TV or monitor.
- Select “Start.”
You can now control your new desktop using your Samsung Galaxy device as a touchpad, or opt to add a wireless keyboard and mouse via Bluetooth.
To connect wireless accessories:
- Open “Settings” and tap “Bluetooth.”
- Select your accessories and “Pair.”
