Samsung DeX on Tablets Finally Beats Laptops in 2025

"Samsung DeX on Tablets Finally Beats Laptops in 2025" cover image

You know what's fascinating? Samsung's been quietly perfecting DeX for eight years now. You might have written it off as a nice-to-have that never quite delivered. Then they cracked the code. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 becoming the first compact folding phone to support desktop mode signals an important shift, Samsung is expanding DeX beyond flagship phones and tablets into their entire ecosystem. And here is the real breakthrough that makes the expansion matter: Samsung reimagined DeX around tablets as the natural sweet spot, exactly the strategic pivot this platform needed.

Where Samsung DeX goes from here

Samsung's tablet-centric vision makes DeX feel essential by solving the portability versus functionality trade off. No dongles roulette, no cable wrangling, your workspace travels with you and expands when you have room. Android 16 integration should widen app support and developer attention, while tablet-optimized touches like immersive full-screen modes keep DeX on track for the desktop replacement it set out to be.

If you are ready to lean into mobile-first work, Samsung's refined tablet experience is a compelling alternative to a laptop. It is not trying to copy a clamshell anymore, it is tailoring the experience to how we actually work in 2025. The result feels like the seamless setup Samsung envisioned eight years ago, backed by tablet hardware that handles desktop-class tasks and software shaped by real use.

A tablet-first DeX is the right move, a shift from impressive demo to indispensable tool.
