Do you want to learn how to connect and use Samsung DeX wirelessly on your computer and laptop? then you’re in the right place. In this feature, we will show you how to connect & use wireless DeX on a laptop and PC in Windows 10.
Meanwhile, previously you could this by connecting their Galaxy smartphone to a computer through HDMI or USB type C cable, they can create a PC-like experience. It’s a fantastic method to keep productive without using a computer. Simply connect your phone to a keyboard and mouse and start to work.
However, with the introduction of Samsung DeX wireless, you don’t need accessories like a USB C cable or dock and Dex software. All you need to have is a laptop that supports Miracast. Wireless DeX on a laptop is the best method to share material or show slides from your phone, allowing you to make the most of its capabilities.
Screen mirroring vs. Wireless DeX
So, how does wireless DeX differ from ordinary screen mirroring on your TV? First, there’s the user interface: DeX is a virtual desktop environment. It does more than simply make your phone’s screen bigger. Multiple programmes may be shown, windows may be resized, keyboard shortcuts can be used, and the right mouse button may be used.
You can also check your phone’s incoming alerts and calls without having to take a break from what you’re doing to look at it. You don’t have to slow down to remain on top of relevant communications while you’re in the zone and at your most productive.
Second, while your phone is powered by DeX, you may continue to use it as a phone. It essentially provides you with a two-screen experience. While you continue to present on TV, you may do whatever you want on your phone. For example, if you need to rapidly reply to an important text from a coworker while the slides are up on the screen, you may do so without disrupting the presentation.
