Why is DeX not supported on the Z Flip 6?

[Kaiden Christman]

There is no actual reason why DeX is not supported for the Z Flip 6. I would like a reason why. DeX is supported on the S24 series phones but not Z Flip 6. Even though they have the same exact processor, only differences are design and cameras along with Battery for the higher end S24's

Hello 👋 @Kaiden Christman 

That's going to be have to be a question for Samsung via the Samsung Members App. 

In the interim I've seen this >

https://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-z-flip-6-desktop-mode- 

And https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-6-new-dex. 

May I suggest to perform a forum search as you may find already existing threads with help and advice within that discusses the lack of this feature.

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

Hey there and welcome to the Samsung UK and EU Community Customer to Customer Forum

OK so according to you there are no material differences between S Series and Flip series?

Let's start with software........

If the two series were the same, they would have the same functions.

They aren't and they don't... 👏 as Dex appears to work but in a different format.

As a ZFLIP3,4,5 and 6 this has been my disappointment with the ZFLIP range, I was told the processor and heat design can't handle it, all the ZFOLD range has DeX.

My guess is the split battery layout is maybe the culprit.

Note there is a DeX version you can use, DeX light but it is basically screen mirroring with a cable.
