JAKARTA In addition to launching various new features in the One UI 7 update, Samsung is rumored to be removing one of the important applications from its devices. The application is Samsung DeX for Windows.

The application, which was launched in 2017, is specifically designed for Windows-based Samsung PCs. With this feature, users can reflect their mobile device screens to PCs so that both devices can connect easily.

This application is very useful if users want to move files because they only need to pull files from PC and release files in the connected mobile device folder. This functionality is indeed different from that of Samsung DeX on mobile phones and tabs.

DeX is self-contained on Android-based devices unable to connect a phone or tab to a PC, but presents a PC interface on the device. Users can feel like using a computer when operating their tablet.

It's not yet known when One UI 7 will be released, but Samsung has already discussed this update, including the removal of the Samsung DeX app for Windows. This news was discovered by the Android Authority on Samsung's official website for UK.

"DeX for PC on Windows OS will stop supporting starting from the One UI version 7. We recommend customers to connect phones and PCs through the Link to Windows feature," Samsung said.

It seems that Samsung only wants to reduce its offer because Windows has developed almost the same feature, namely Link to Windows, free of charge. In fact, this feature is much more optimal than Samsung DeX for Windows.

Before this application was abandoned more users because Link to Windows was much better in terms of experience, Samsung ended its support first. Before this application was terminated, Samsung provided discounts for users who were still interested.
