Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop

  My guess is that people who would use DEX is also people who are satisfied with ChromeOS. Which is just as closed down.

  Hopefully, when Android does this, they will be under same gatekeeper restrictions in the EU as Windows.

    I use DEX (not directly to the monitor, but the desktop app) to have easier access to my personal Firefox and messenger apps when I’m at work. I don’t want to run any of my personal stuff on the work laptop (not even in a VM) and I hate typing on the phone’s tiny touch keyboard, so DEX is a great alternative.

      It’s great that we’re losing this feature in OneUI 7. Makes me never want to buy another Samsung phone ever again.

    Dude I tired DEX once, I saw I couldn’t rotate the monitor or even find some type of settings and I never tried it again.
