Samsung DeX lets you extend your display to create a seamless multitasking environment, providing a larger workspace and intuitive multitasking features. You can open apps in separate windows, drag and drop files, and connect wirelessly to an external monitor or TV. To make your workspace more personal, add widgets such as Weather, Calendar, or Clock to the Home screen for quick access to information.
Note:
- Widgets in Samsung DeX are supported starting from One UI 8 (Android 16). Ensure that your Galaxy tablet software is up to date before using this feature.
