Microsoft Teams can blur the background, something that was not possible four years back. This makes DeX more appropriate for work use and video conferences.
Expanded Software Compatibility: Photoshop online is much more powerful when it comes to image editing when using it on DeX as opposed to Adobe’s free Android apps. While Lightroom has not offered a fully integrated online version, it enables the user to use critical browser add-ons when using Firefox.
Functions Still Missing
App Optimization: Despite the fact that DeX gives a user access to all Android applications, most of the applications are not designed for the big screen. This lack of optimization therefore means that the applications may look awkward or do not fully utilize the desktop screen space.
Touch Control Limitations: Touch control with a mouse is somewhat complicated and not as natural as it should be. Most operations are done with double click, and the pointer speed cannot be changed and sometimes the pointer freezes.
Resolution Constraints: It is worth mentioning that, at the moment, DeX is capable of delivering Full HD and using it with a monitor that has a WQHD resolution may be a bit disappointing. This leads to a screen that is not as detailed as one would hope for and thus makes it less ideal for extended usage.
Maximizing the Potential of the Galaxy S24 Ultra
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is an absolute beast when it comes to performance and it really comes into its own when in a DeX environment. Thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, Adreno 750 GPU and the high-performance octa-core processor, the S24 Ultra offers a great DeX experience. This makes the device perform to the optimum level and can easily handle most of the tasks within the allowable time frame with its maximum speed of up to 3. 39GHz.
While using the DeX, the S24 Ultra is enhanced by the advanced vapour cooling technology and the titanium build which helps to regulate heat and ensure efficiency during multitasking operations. This means that you can run power hungry applications, work on large documents, and have multiple applications open in different windows without experiencing lag or the device becoming hot.
The Adreno 750 GPU enhances graphics boosting capabilities, thus making images and videos to be clear and with minimal lag, whether one is designing or watching movies on a larger screen. The hardware of the S24 Ultra is quite durable and this makes the DeX environment to be not only effective but also fast and efficient for the professional working on the move.
Verdict: DeX Still Turned Out to Be a Useful Feature
Samsung DeX is still one of the useful features for those in need of a temporary PC solution. If you don’t require specific Windows applications and are not carrying many items with you, DeX can be useful for several days if the necessary accessories are available at the destination. However, DeX isn’t ready to unseat the PC from its permanent pedestal. The issues with Android apps on large screens and the occasional mouse related issues continue to be an issue.
Therefore, even though DeX is still a great and practical addition to Galaxy smartphones, it is not the only reason to get the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It is a feature that is very useful especially for people who want a portable device that offers some desktop operation once in a while without having to carry around a full-fledged laptop. The hardware of Galaxy S24 Ultra improves the DeX performance, making it smoother, more fluid, and able to handle more intensive tasks without a hitch.
