Samsung Dex in 2025: 3 Easy steps to setup

We will guide you through configuring your Samsung phone or tablet to function as a desktop PC on your monitor or TV, using a mouse and keyboard.

If you own a Samsung phone or tablet, you may be overlooking a feature that significantly enhances its capabilities: DeX. Initially launched in 2017 as a physical product, DeX is now a software mode that transforms your phone or tablet into a full-fledged desktop experience. It can be connected to a monitor or TV, and controlled using a mouse and keyboard for a PC-like interface.

DeX is distinct from Windows Phone Link, which provides wireless phone connectivity to Windows 11 for accessing calls, messages, mobile apps, and photos. The key difference is that DeX does not require a PC—only a screen. We are pleased to demonstrate its usage.
