• The One UI 7 rollout will mark the end of a fan-favorite feature.
• Samsung warns that it will be discontinuing DeX for PC on Windows OS.
• Users will still be able to connect their mobile device to their PC through Link to Windows.

One UI 7’s features have largely been a mystery, but leaks have helped shed light on some of the things we can expect when it rolls out. Most recently, Samsung’s Spanish website spilled some of the beans, showing off new icons, a smart notification center, and a new lock screen. Meanwhile, Samsung UK shared a surprising, yet not unexpected, update on the DeX app for PC on Windows.

If you’re unfamiliar with Samsung DeX, it’s an app that allows Galaxy owners to open a separate window on their PC to access their device’s screen. Through this feature, the user can seamlessly move files between the two devices. The name DeX is derived from “Desktop eXperience.”
