Samsung to Retire DeX for Windows with One UI 7 Update

The upcoming One UI 7 software will shift users to Microsoft's Phone Link for PC connectivity, replacing Samsung's DeX app on Windows.

  • Samsung confirmed that support for its DeX for Windows app will end with the release of One UI 7 in 2025.
  • DeX allowed users to connect their smartphones to PCs for a desktop-like interface and multitasking capabilities.
  • Users are encouraged to transition to Microsoft's Phone Link, which offers similar features like screen mirroring, file transfers, and app access.
  • The decision to discontinue DeX for Windows may stem from low user adoption, with Samsung focusing DeX on TVs, monitors, and other large displays.
  • One UI 7, which will debut in beta later this month, will also introduce new AI-powered features and a refreshed design.
