One UI 4.1 Tip: How to use Samsung DeX on your Smart Monitor?
Samsung‘s one of the most amazing and useful features of Galaxy smartphones and tablets is the Samsung DeX, which allows you to extend your mobile device to a larger screen, creating a desktop-like experience. Once your device is connected to the display, you can work on multiple apps and resize windows at once, just like you would on a PC.
Basically, the One UI 4.1-based Samsung DeX requires an HDMI adapter to connect your Galaxy phone or tablet to your monitor. But on the latest Samsung mobile devices like the Galaxy S22 line, the rugged Tab Active 3, and the new Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G – which provide three-in-one device integration – allow you to connect to DeX wirelessly on any display.
It supports Miracast, allowing for a more seamless work experience. It works well for Samsung Smart TVs or any other presentation that requires a wider canvas. For a more traditional desktop experience, Samsung has also introduced a new smart monitor that supports wireless DeX.
With the help of a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, you may now have a streamlined DeX setup to power up during your working day without having to boot the PC or connect the cable. However, if you do not have a Smart Monitor or Miracast-enabled display, you can still use DeX.
If you want to take advantage of wireless DeX, here’s how to set it up on your smart monitor:
Setting up Samsung DeX on your Samsung Smart Monitor
- Start by plugging in and turning on your smart monitor.
- Using the remote or physical buttons on the monitor, select the Source option and select Screen Mirroring.
- On your Galaxy device, open the Quick menu by dragging and dropping the screen, then press the DeX option.
- In the DeX menu, select “DeX on TV or Monitor”.
- Searches for displays are available to connect your Galaxy device. When you see your smart monitor appear, tap on it.
- And that’s it! You should now see the DeX logo on your smart monitor and you may be working properly.
If DeX is enabled, you can use your mobile device as a touchpad. But for a real desktop-like experience, you might want to add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Samsung DeX vs Screen Mirroring
You may have seen other smartphones that offer screen mirroring, but screen mirroring works differently from the DX. With normal screen mirroring, your device’s screen is duplicated on another display – still maintaining its original size and layout.
But with DeX, your second display offers a desktop-like experience, while your smartphone works independently. These dual screens allow you to use DeX for more than just sharing a presentation or multimedia on a large monitor. Instead, you can work independently, just like on a desktop PC.
Additionally, if you want to do more without connecting to an external display, Samsung Galaxy tablets like the Galaxy Tab S8 line can switch to the DeX experience by pressing the button. With Samsung DeX, you can work on any desk – take your most important work with you. And with the new wireless options, DeX can take your day-to-day productivity even further.

Samsung could launch the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone next year. The company has collaborated with LG Uplus to develop a custom smartphone. The device is said to feature Galaxy AI and LG Uplus’s AI call assistant ixi-O.
Sources citing KEDGlobal revealed that Samsung and LG Uplus working together to develop the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone. It’s a big development in the smartphone industry, while the handset is highly likely to be Korea-limited.
Samsung fans are well aware of the Galaxy AI feature suite. ixi-O is an AI-powered digital assistant developed by Korean carrier LG Uplus. The company plans to enter the smartphone market, featuring its own-developed AI assistant.
The report indicates that Samsung and LG Uplus’ ixi-O AI Phone will launch as early as next year. The development project focuses on crafting a “real AI phone” that goes beyond simply integrating AI assistant services into a smartphone.
ixi-O comes with useful features such as AI call answering, detecting voice phishing in real-time, recording and summarizing phone calls and converting voice conversation into text – all within an on-device environment.

Based on specifications, the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone will be based on a Galaxy phone available globally. The design will match with a global Galaxy smartphone, but the software may be tweaked as per the carrier’s requirements.
A custom Galaxy phone isn’t shocking or impossible in South Korea. Samsung releases Quantum, Buddy, and Jump-branded phones in the market. The company collaborates with Korean carriers to bring these devices to mainland Korea.
The carrier introduced an on-device AI-powered ixi-O assistant earlier this month. LG Uplus will initially target its consumer base for the new AI Phone. However, the AI Assistant may be expanded to a broader audience across Korea.
Samsung could use Gauss2-based Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The company’s next-gen Generative AI model is 1.5 to 3x faster than the first-gen Gauss model. The DX division is already using Gauss2 to ramp up internal productivity.
Gauss2 offers improved performance and efficiency in simultaneously handling various data types. In the previous article, we’ve demonstrated its three distinct models that cater to different purposes: Compact, Balanced, and Supreme.
Samsung says the second-gen Gauss model offers equal or superior performance in response generation than leading open-source generative AI models. That said, the Galaxy AI will become faster and smarter with the inclusion of Gauss2.
Thanks to faster processing speed, Gauss2 enables quicker AI response generation. This way, the Galaxy user won’t have to wait much time. The company stated that it will continue to expand the reach of its AI-based services across all product lines.
That said, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to boast Gauss2-based Galaxy AI. This upgrade will result in even faster processing of tasks and execution. Features like composition, image generation, and translation would benefit from Gauss2.
Earlier, we broke the news that Samsung is crafting an advanced AI technology. The Gauss2 press release indicates that the future Galaxy AI iteration could be integrated with knowledge graph technology to offer relevant results.
The Galaxy S24 series also uses Google’s Gemini Nano AI model. The fruitful collaboration offers futuristic capabilities on Galaxy devices. Samsung is rumored to use an enhanced version of Gemini Nano across the Galaxy S25 lineup.
Meanwhile, Samsung’s development may have indulged Gauss2 capabilities on the Galaxy S25 series. Integrated with new processors and optimized software, the company’s AI model would offer faster, reliable, and smarter results.
