Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 doesn't have DeX, but why?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 doesn't have DeX, and it's hard to see it as anything more than an incentive to upgrade.
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 are here, and they're the best foldables from the South Korean-based company yet. There are a number of spec bumps and improvements across the board, one of which is a USB 3.2 connector in the USB-C port of the Z Flip 5. This, previously, was USB 2.0 and was considered to be the biggest reason why Flip devices didn't have Samsung DeX. Now though, the Z Flip 5 still doesn't have DeX, but it meets that requirement. What gives, Samsung?
