Description
Samsung's Galaxy Tab S series has been providing a premium Android experience for several years. With the new Galaxy Tab S4, Samsung has updated their unique S Pen for improving productivity, as well as delivering a high-class work and entertainment suite.
Samsung DeX Mode
First seen in the Galaxy S8 smartphone range, Samsung DeX is a unique "Desktop Experience". Originally designed to be used with a dock that extended the display to a second screen, DeX is now built directly into Samsung's software for the Note9, Tab S4 and future high-end devices.
You can switch the Galaxy Tab S4 to DeX Mode via the on-screen Quick Panel. It will also activate automatically if you drop the tablet into the official Samsung Keyboard Dock (sold separately).
Once you enter DeX mode, a traditional desktop like interface is displayed. This has a taskbar at the bottom of the screen and windowed environment for compatible apps. Standard desktop features such as copy/paste and drag-and-drop between windows are allowed, as well as keyboard shortcuts for useful commands.
