Dear Samsung HQ peeps, DeX has and still is for me the most useful of many Samsung features, yes maybe the Community here is not high usage, but Reddit and other forums have a very strong and passionate following.
I hope rumours of DeX being ditched for that horrible Windows Link app are untrue.
So i have listed a few benefits DeX power users will loose, aside from having to carry a laptop around.
The screenshot is an example of my setup, which bridges personal, work, media, smart control and notifications.
