Wireless DeX is one of the most important new features of One UI 2.5. This feature lets you display your phone screen to a supported TV or monitor and then use your phone as a touchpad to control the TV with multi-finger gestures.

Furthermore, you can swipe up to view recently opened apps with three fingers to control inputs on the TV screen, swipe down to return to the home screen, or swipe left or right to switch between apps.
