Mimic the ChromeOS Experience on Your Galaxy Tab
Many of my readers may know me as a ChromeOS guy, but before I ever picked up a Chromebook, I was an Android/Galaxy user. Recently, I’ve moved a lot of my computing back over to the Samsung world, and GalacticApps is the place where I'll share some of my favorite Galaxy-specific tips to help you get the most out of your device.
Part of why Galaxy devices are the best way to experience Android (consider the gauntlet thrown Pixel-nerds) is DeX. It's a mode built into premium & mid-range Samsung tablets and phones that turns your mobile UI into a desktop.
I find it especially effective on Galaxy Tabs, since you can run it without any peripherals (no monitor or dock required!), and I want to show you how it can be used in place of the basic ChromeOS experience.
Note: All of my suggestions are based on “Classic” DeX and not the new DeX mode found only in One UI 6. If you just got One UI 6 installed on your tablet, I'd recommend switching from the new Dex mode unless your needs are light enough that it won't get in the way.
