With the Note 10, Samsung introduced a new feature that allows the device to connect to a Windows or Mac and access all of the users' mobile apps from the desktop.

Users can now directly connect devices such as the Note 9 and 10 to a monitor using a USB-C to HDMI cable. Initially, supported devices required a DeX docking station, which bridged the mobile device to the monitor and other peripherals.

Samsung released DeX to accompany its fleet of flagship Galaxy and Note devices.
