Did you know your Samsung device can power a desktop experience?
Samsung DeX transforms your phone into a full desktop experience, letting you run apps, manage files, and multitask on a larger screen with keyboard and mouse precision. It helps you work faster and more efficiently without needing a separate computer.
RAM® Mounts unlocks the full potential of Samsung DeX by turning mobile devices into stable, always-powered workstations, whether at a desk or on the move. With rugged mounting, reliable connectivity, and seamless integration, users gain a consistent, professional desktop experience anywhere without the limitations of traditional setups.
In today’s environment, device costs continue to rise, yet many organizations still rely on separate phones, tablets, and PCs to support mobile and desktop workflows. This approach drives up hardware expenses, increases IT complexity, and creates inefficiencies for end users. Samsung DeX simplifies the model by enabling a single device to power both mobile and desktop experiences.
How Does Samsung DeX Work?
Samsung DeX allows a compatible Samsung device to power a desktop-like experience when connected to a monitor, either through a cable, dock, or wirelessly. Once connected, the interface shifts to a familiar desktop layout with resizable windows, a taskbar, and full keyboard and mouse support. Apps can run in multi-window mode, enabling users to multitask similarly to a traditional PC. All processing happens on the mobile device, so your files, apps, and data stay centralized and instantly accessible.
Samsung DeX is supported across a range of Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets, including Galaxy XCover devices, Galaxy S series phones, and Galaxy Tab models such as the Tab Active and Tab S series.
