The classic Samsung DeX mode is gone in One UI 8, replaced with a new version built on top of Android 16's Desktop Mode.

However, the initial transition might annoy some users. The current version of DeX in One UI 8 lacks many of the small quality-of-life features that Samsung added to its classic mode over the years.

Mildly annoying indeed. I love Samsung Dex. But I do think it's good that this becomes more standardized across Android and not just a Samsung thing.

…until Google kills it two years down the line because they couldn't maximize their user tracking and profits, claiming no one used it.
