Samsung’s decision to discontinue its classic DeX (Desktop Experience) mode in One UI 8 may have come as a surprise to some users. However, according to reports, the reason behind this move is that the company is shifting its focus towards a more streamlined and integrated DeX experience. In the past, DeX mode allowed users to transform their Samsung smartphone into a desktop-like experience, complete with a taskbar, resizable windows, and support for keyboard and mouse inputs. However, this mode required a separate interface and had its own set of limitations. With One UI 8, Samsung has decided to integrate DeX more seamlessly into the standard Android interface. This means that users will no longer need to switch to a separate DeX mode to access desktop-like features. Instead, they will be able to use their phone in a more traditional Android interface, with the option to connect to an external monitor or use a keyboard and mouse for a more desktop-like experience. This change is likely intended to make DeX more accessible and user-friendly, as well as to reduce confusion and complexity for users who may not have understood the purpose of the separate DeX mode. By integrating DeX more closely with the standard Android interface, Samsung may be able to make the feature more appealing to a wider range of users. It’s worth noting that while the classic DeX mode is being discontinued, Samsung is still committed to providing a desktop-like experience for its users. The company has announced plans to continue supporting DeX on external monitors and TVs, and is working to improve the overall DeX experience through software updates and new features. Overall, while the loss of classic DeX mode may be disappointing for some users, it’s likely that Samsung’s decision to integrate DeX more closely with the standard Android interface will ultimately lead to a more streamlined and user-friendly experience for everyone.
