Clamshell foldables like the Galaxy Z Flip are gaining popularity by balancing portability and power. When folded, they become compact squares that easily fit into any pocket or purse. When unfolded, they function just like regular smartphones. However, achieving that compact, folding form factor requires some compromises, and for the Galaxy Z Flip lineup, Samsung has consistently left its DeX desktop mode on the cutting board. That omission ends now, as Samsung is finally making the new Galaxy Z Flip 7 the first in the lineup to fully support the feature.
If you aren’t familiar with it, Samsung DeX is a robust desktop experience built into One UI. When you connect a compatible phone or tablet to an external display, DeX transforms it into a portable PC, showing a desktop-like interface instead of simply mirroring the screen. A taskbar at the bottom provides navigation buttons, the date and time, a notification shortcut, and a dock for your apps. You can launch apps in floating windows with familiar controls to minimize, maximize, close, or snap them to the sides.
