Samsung DeX allows Galaxy phones and tablets to turn into desktop PCs. A number of flagship phones from the past five years support it with one major absence: the Flip series.

The source doesn’t reveal any details about the feature or whether older clamshell foldouts will receive the feature via a software update. We can assume that it will work in all the ways that DeX works with current devices: with a compatible HDMI cable or wirelessly with TVs and monitors that support Miracast. On PCs, only a USB cable is required, provided the operating system is Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Another uncertainty concerns the compatibility of the Dex Pad and the Dex Station. While current and possibly future Flip phones can physically plug into the accessory USB-C port, they still need software support. However, being able to use the Z Flip on a big screen for productivity apps would be another way to make the foldable more appealing to a larger crowd.
