Samsung has announced that its Samsung DeX application for Windows will no longer be supported once the One UI 7 update rolls out. This marks the end of an era for users who relied on the platform for a seamless desktop-like experience on their PCs.
Samsung is planning to discontinue support for its Samsung DeX app on Windows, signaling a shift in its software strategy. This change takes effect when Samsung rolls out the One UI 7 update to compatible devices, prompting users to explore alternative ways to connect their devices to a desktop environment.
“The DeX for PC on Windows OS will end support from One UI 7 version. We encourage customers to connect mobile phone and PC through the Link to Windows feature.”
With the upcoming release of One UI 7, Samsung is phasing out support for a couple of popular features. Samsung plans to end support for third-party edge panels, which allow users to customize their side screen experience with tools and shortcuts from other developers. This change could disappoint those who rely on these panels for added productivity and personalization.
Additionally, Samsung will discontinue Samsung DeX on Windows, an app that lets users mirror their device onto a Windows PC and transforms their mobile or tablet into a PC-like interface. For many, DeX has been a valuable tool for multitasking and working seamlessly between devices. With its removal, users may need to explore other options to maintain a similar workflow.
