You're right, it's disappointing to see this change, especially since DeX was such a unique feature. It’s true that Link to Windows is more universal but still requires a Windows PC. Samsung’s decision seems to be following the trend set by other companies like Google and Apple, but let’s hope they reconsider based on user feedback

I can understand your frustration. It often feels like companies listen more when it impacts their sales. Hopefully, Samsung takes user feedback seriously and makes improvements in future updates

Samsung DeX is a key feature that enhances productivity and sets the brand apart from competitors. Removing it could impact loyal users who rely on its versatility. However, Samsung consistently innovates, and if such a decision is made, it’s likely to be replaced with an even more advanced feature. Let's wait for official updates before jumping to conclusions
