The Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with some notable tools, however, it does not support Samsung DeX. This feature can turn Galaxy phones and tablets into workstations with a desktop-like interface that can be projected onto external displays such as TVs and smart monitors.

Samsung DeX is an extension of Android N’s Multi-Window mode. Additional code development has also been included by Samsung that adds extra features and integrates it with Samsung hardware, such as the Iris scanner. There are no proprietary Samsung APIs needed to launch apps in Samsung DeX, as it is enabled by default. Apps typically run as long as they adhere to Androids’ best coding practices.
Samsung DeX offers many different features to best suit your needs. Samsung DeX Mode allows your device to cast a PC-like experience to the big screen with the same apps you use on your phone every day
That’s even though, at the time of the Flip 5’s launch in 2023, Samsung addressed what it claimed to be the reason why no Galaxy Z Flip smartphone has DeX:
Galaxy 5 Flip 6 has better cooling and performance yet lacks Samsung DeX
The first phone in the range featuring a vapor chamber cooling system is the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The Flip 6’s vapor chamber is 150% larger than the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s, allowing for far better temperature control than any previous model.
The Flip 6 is not even power-starved. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and 12GB of RAM are included as standard. Samsung hasn’t added DeX support despite all that. This implies that one of the few features that may fully utilize the enhanced performance and cooling capabilities won’t be available to customers.
It’s underwhelming, to put it mildly. When considering the $100 price rise, some Flip 6 purchasers could feel that they were mistreated.
Why the Galaxy Z Flip 6 doesn’t support Samsung DeX is unknown. Additionally, we’re not sure if a software update will be required to enable the feature. If we’re going to encounter any information regarding it, we’ll let you know.
