Samsung\u2019s upcoming One UI 7 update will no longer support the DeX app on Windows. A footnote on Samsung\u2019s UK site<\/a>, spotted by Android Authority<\/em><\/a>, reveals the DeX PC app \u201cwill end support from One UI 7 version,\u201d with Samsung encouraging users to use the Link to Windows feature instead to take advantage of similar functionality with Microsoft\u2019s Phone Link app on Windows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The DeX app for Windows lets you mirror your phone screen to a PC and easily drag and drop files between the devices. It\u2019s very similar to Microsoft\u2019s Phone Link app<\/a>, which Samsung and Microsoft have collaborated closely on in recent years, so it makes sense that Samsung is favoring Microsoft\u2019s native Android linking app in Windows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The change will take place in One UI 7, which is expected to debut in beta form later this month. Samsung initially teased One UI 7 during its developer conference last month, promising to deliver a developer beta before the end of the year. We\u2019re still waiting to hear about all the new features in One UI 7, after leaks earlier this year<\/a> suggest a beta was originally supposed to launch a lot sooner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The upcoming redesign also appeared in a video on Samsung\u2019s Spanish website<\/a> last week, demonstrating smoother animations, a revamped Quick Panel, and a pill-shaped live activities feature that looks similar to Apple\u2019s Dynamic Island. One UI 7 will also reportedly include<\/a> a number of new AI-powered features.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
