Samsung DeX
Samsung DeX is a feature which I like about the Samsung smartphones and setting it up is simple. You only need an HDMI to Type C dongle which connects your smartphone to an external display. The display of the smartphone can be used as a trackpad or you can use a Bluetooth mouse. Using a mouse will let you use your phone normally without causing any interference to the DeX mode. Samsung DeX provides you with a traditional desktop experience with a desktop and a taskbar with all your notifications and controls. You can run two or more apps at the same time, you can open more instance and resize them to use them at the same time just like in a PC. These were the tips and tricks you need to know if you already got your hands on the Galaxy Note 10 or the Note 10+. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is an amazing device only if you like to multitask on your smartphone more than your PC. You don’t need a PC if you are satisfied with the features it provides on the Samsung DeX.
