What'due south New With Android eight.0 Oreo: Samsung DeX enhanced

The biggest new feature for DeX is the power to use the telephone as a mouse if you lot don't have an actual mouse to apply with the dock. When enabled, the phone will show you a blackness and white screen on which you can trace your finger to emulate mouse movement, with a button at the top for emulating clicks (although currently you tin can only select an app; long-pressing to emulate a right-click isn't supported all the same). Bang-up, and something that should have been a feature on DeX since the starting time.

Game Launcher for DeX is also getting updated. Game Launcher support came to DeX iv months ago. The characteristic didn't offer much at that point in time. It felt like Samsung prematurely rolled out this update as most games in the "Supported by DeX" section didn't recognize keyboard and mouse as input devices.

Samsung DeX is properly receiving support for Game Launcher with the Android viii.0 Oreo beta. Information technology enables users to access games that are playable on DeX. It will recommend those titles on its promotional page. Game Launcher on DeX will also provide users an pick to launch games in full screen mode.

Android eight.0 Oreo besides brings some minor cosmetic changes for DeX. The all apps UX for DeX has been changed. It now expands to fit the entire screen and shows up to 38 apps at the same time (like to how Windows eight used to do it before Microsoft went back to a standard start menu on Windows 10).
