DeX changed?

Hi all,

Why has Samsung changed DeX?

Before, it was more of a desktop format, whereas now it's not.

I have updated to One UI 8 on my Tab S8.

Thanks

Unfortunately it was discontinued, Link to Windows was the better option .

Like any upgrades it is just something we have to get used to and adapt

It's not too different from OneUI 7 tbh. The only real change is that it's no longer necessary to activate a DeX mode in android as it's integrated far more seemlessly.

Try using it more and you'll realise it's just a better integration of DeX with Android. No desktop mode is missing and there's far better customisable "windows" within Android now with multiple template desktops, kinda like windows now.

I didn't know it had gone. I was shocked.

Has anyone else noticed something similar? I installed a clean copy after updating to UI8. I didn't restore any settings, etc. The problem occurs in every possible aspect of the window settings (1,2,3,4). The bar at the top that opens the minimize/close pop-up window is very imprecise. When I click on it, it doesn't respond, and I have to play around to find the perfect spot where it will finally catch. It's terribly annoying.

more or less the sales of the tablets of samsung will decline due to this feature removal.
