Samsung Launches Galaxy Tab S11 With DeX Overhaul Featuring Extend Mode and Virtual Workspaces

The tablets run Android 16 with a DeX version built on Google’s desktop mode for a more native, display‑centric workflow.

Overview

  • Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra debut as flagship tablets with brighter screens, slimmer and lighter designs, faster performance, and a new hexagonal S Pen.
  • Samsung DeX on the Tab S11 series is rebuilt on Android 16’s desktop mode rather than a separate Windows-focused solution.
  • Extend Mode enables a dual‑screen setup that runs DeX on both the tablet and an external monitor or TV, with app windows movable between displays.
  • Virtual Workspaces lets users create up to four distinct workspaces tailored to different tasks or contexts.
  • A swipe down on the taskbar switches between the standard One UI tablet interface and DeX on the tablet’s screen to streamline multitasking without a PC.
