Wireless DeX vs. Screen Mirroring

So, how does wireless DeX differ from regular screen mirroring on your TV or PC? First, there’s the user interface: DeX is a virtual desktop environment. It does more than just make your phone’s screen bigger. Multiple apps can be displayed, windows can be resized, keyboard shortcuts can be accessed, and the right mouse button can be used.

You can also check your phone’s incoming notifications and calls without having to take a break from what you’re doing to look at it. You don’t have to slow down to remain on top of relevant messages when you’re in the zone and at your most productive.

While you continue to present on TV, you can do whatever you want on your phone. For example, if you need to rapidly respond to an important text from a coworker while you have slides up on the screen, you can do so without disrupting the presentation.

Samsung DeX Mode allows your device to display a PC-like experience on a large screen with the same apps that you use on your phone every day.
