Overview

Why build a Samsung DeX compatible app?

Reports show that 74% of IT workers use two or more devices for work, 52% used three or more. This increasing fragmentation causes lost productivity. Samsung solves this problem with Samsung DeX and brings the PC-like experience to Android.

Samsung DeX compatible apps utilize the powerful features offered in Samsung DeX Mode. This robust, multi-tasking environment encourages users – and provides them with the technical capacity – to adopt Android as a primary ecosystem for any task: word-processing, photo-editing, games and more. Apps that are not modified to be compatible with Samsung DeX can still be launched, but operate in a fixed-size window with limited functionality.
