Remember when plugging your phone into a computer was mostly about charging or transferring a few photos? Well, thanks to the incredible versatility of USB-C ports, we can definitely do more than that! The new version of Android 16 will come with a standardized desktop experience for smartphones with video output. While Android 16 will make this a widespread, native feature, Samsung has been a pioneer in this space for years with Samsung DeX. DeX (short for "Desktop eXperience") allows compatible Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets to transform into a desktop computing environment when connected to an external display. It provides a PC-like interface with resizable windows, a taskbar, and support for a mouse and keyboard, truly pushing the boundaries of what a smartphone can do.
