Any word on Dex compatibility?

Is Dex compatible with the Z Flip 3?

I tried the Flip 5G, but returned it once I realized Dex wouldn't work.
Update with it never came to the previous Flip device.

I know I might be in the minority, but I've really gotten a lot of use out of Dex in my work flow.

Dex will not be on the z Flip 3 unfortunately.

Yep no Dex support

Thanks for the info!

Disappointing and a bit perplexing.
Considering they've been improving Dex and the Flip 3 has more up-to-date internals than older devices that support Dex.

I hope no other lost functionality "surprises" are in store for Flip 3 owners upgrading from a recent Galaxy Device.

Yeah, it is a little disappointing. I'm not sure why they did not include it. I've heard due to possible battery because it's only 3300maH or due to the snapdragon 888 and possible overheating... who really knows.

No 25 watt fast charging. 15 watt only

Yeah, that's a good point. Thanks.

Probably the thermal design isn't good enough to handle Dex yet.

Will take them some time to figure out that form factor. But it sure does look amazing lol.

I would have assumed DeX worked on all Samsung flagships. I've yet to use DeX but I assume it heats the phone up and prolonged use would keep the device warm. Maybe a thermal issue with the folding screen? All the phones are ridiculously thin so it's the only thing I can think of that would be different.

Weird thing is that the Fold 3 does have Dex.
So having a folding screen doesn't seem to be the reason.
Maybe the Flip design has poor engineering for thermal design compared to Fold.

We're all just guessing now since Samsung hasn't said anything.
We haven't seen any Android sites try to explain the reason either.

Does anyone know of or use another app that is a good Dex replacement? I know there are a few out there. I just want other's opinions about them. This may help people in deciding to get the flip 3 or not. I know it would help me.

I would like to know this as well.
