The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 might support DeX, making it much better for productivity.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

You probably think of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series as quite high-end, but it seems that in the past, at least Samsung might not have done, because
all of these phones lack a feature found on Samsungs other premium phones, namely DeX. But the company might be changing its view of the line, because apparently the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 will have this feature.

Thats according to sources speaking to SamMobile , with the site noting that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 would be the smallest phone to support Samsung DeX.

DeX, for those who dont know, lets you connect your phone to an external display such as a TV or monitor, and show a desktop-like interface on it. You can then connect peripherals like a keyboard and mouse, to fully use your phone like you would a computer.

It works both wired and wirelessly (depending on the screen youre trying to connect to), and while the Samsung Galaxy S series and even other Samsung foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 support DeX, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and its predecessors dont. An obvious feature that's oddly absent

Thats odd, because its a useful feature and one that these phones should easily be powerful enough to run. And while theyre not Samsungs top foldable models, at a starting price of $999.99 / 999 / AU$1,499 for the Galaxy Z Flip 4, you wouldnt expect Samsung to skimp on features.

So, its nice to hear that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 might support DeX, though as ever with leaks, wed take this with a pinch of salt.

Theres a chance, though, that this could also mean DeX will come to earlier Z Flip models as a software update. SamMobiles sources werent able to confirm that, but it could believably happen, given that those phones should be able to run it and that Samsung often brings new software features to older handsets.

Well probably find out in late July or August, as thats when the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to be unveiled, alongside the larger Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 .
