According to Sammobile, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 from Samsung is set to address some of the shortcomings of its predecessor. While the Galaxy Z Flip line offers high-end features like powerful Snapdragon chips and impressive 120Hz AMOLED displays, it has been lacking in certain areas.
One notable absence has been the support for Samsung DeX, a feature that allows users to transform their Samsung devices into workstations with a desktop-like interface. However, sources suggest that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will break this trend and become the smallest Samsung phone to support DeX.
Galaxy Z Flip 5 will be the most compact Samsung phone to feature DeX support
For those unfamiliar with DeX, it enables users to project a desktop interface onto external displays such as smart TVs or monitors, either wirelessly or through an HDMI adaptor. This functionality allows for the connection of standard input devices like mice and keyboards, creating a more productive work environment.
Samsung has also developed a DeX app for Windows and Mac, enabling users to utilize DeX on their computers by simply connecting their Samsung devices via a USB-C cable. While DeX can be used on tablets directly, smartphones lack the screen estate for this purpose.
As for existing Galaxy Z Flip models, it remains uncertain whether they will receive DeX support through a software update once the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is officially released. Although details are scarce, it is worth noting that older models should have the capability to run DeX smoothly, raising hopes that at least some of them may receive the feature.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5, along with the anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 5, is expected to be unveiled at Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event, projected to take place in late July. Both devices will come preloaded with Android 13 and One UI 5.1.1 and will be eligible for four major OS upgrades, aligning with Samsung’s standard offering for its modern Galaxy flagships.
Additionally, the event is rumored to include announcements regarding the Galaxy Watch 6 series, as well as the introduction of the Galaxy Tab S9, Tab S9+, and Tab S9 Ultra.
