Which phone-powered PC revel in is best?

0
I’ve been playing Google’s new Pixel Desktop Mode on my Pixel 10 Pro XL in recent years, such a lot in order that it virtually makes the arena of smartphones really feel new once more. However, Google is a long way from the primary to mix smartphone and desktop reviews below one roof. US customers have had get right of entry to to Samsung’s DeX surroundings since 2017, and it has step by step stepped forward the platform with more than a few new options that experience set a prime bar for Google’s new gadget to satisfy.

If anything else, it’s unexpected that it’s taken Google simply this lengthy to get a hold of its personal take at the formulation. But how do they examine? I’ve spent a while testing on a regular basis desktop duties on each platforms to lend a hand resolution the query: What are the variations between Pixel Desktop and Samsung DeX, and which one is highest?

Which Android desktop revel in is highest?

Pixel Desktop vs Samsung DeX at a look

Robert Triggs / Android Authority

Before coming into the options, there’s one core distinction between those two desktop platforms. Pixel Desktop Mode runs the very same Android gadget that powers the telephone interface, merely rendering a 2nd windowing surroundings at the exterior show. Apps run in the similar OS example, however Android’s local window supervisor lets them seem in resizable home windows at the greater display screen.

Samsung DeX takes a special way. Rather than depending on Android’s new default desktop-style windowing, Samsung layers its personal desktop interface on peak of Android via One UI. Apps nonetheless run in the similar Android OS example, however Samsung replaces a lot of the gadget’s window control and UI conduct with its personal desktop shell. This quite other structure ends up in a couple of refined variations within the revel in, which we’ll get into in a minute, however the finish consequence continues to be a local Android desktop revel in.

DeX and Pixel desktop modes run your cellphone’s Android apps, however there are refined variations.

Thankfully, getting began with both desktop choice is similarly easy. Both platforms toughen DisplayPort output by way of USB-C, and you’ll be able to simply attach up by way of HDMI via a dongle adapter. However, older Samsung fashions had a couple of different ways to attach, comparable to a DeX cable or Wireless DeX, which the Pixel doesn’t have.

The telephones I used toughen energy pass-through and hassle-free plug-and-play toughen for Bluetooth and USB keyboard and mice. Needless to mention, I had no downside getting began with both, and each serve precisely the similar goal at a handy guide a rough look.

The similar core Android desktop revel in

Sticking with peripherals for a 2nd, each desktop environments toughen the similar Bluetooth peripherals as in cell mode, so you’ll be able to stay your earbuds paired when switching between modes. I additionally plugged in a microSD card, a USB stick, and a USB SSD exterior garage instrument, all of which have been detected straight away with out factor, permitting you to port paintings round very simply.

Likewise, when booting into Samsung DeX or Pixel Desktop Mode, you’re greeted with an excessively acquainted desktop glance on each platforms. The two interfaces place a customizable dock of apps alongside the ground, whole with an app drawer, and Android’s vintage 3 navigation buttons. The solely distinction is that DeX positions those at the left and Pixel at the proper. The two platforms additionally toughen as much as 4 separate desktop environments as neatly, so you’ll be able to stay even the busiest multi-tasking setups so as.

Perhaps a very powerful issue is how the 2 desktop modes deal with working your same old array of Android apps, and once more, the revel in may be very identical. Google has driven builders to toughen a much broader vary of facet ratios lately, out of your same old cellphone portrait to wider foldable and pill UIs. Pixel Desktop Mode leverages those choices, routinely refreshing the UI to suit probably the most acceptable mode while you resize your window. DeX works in an excessively identical approach, permitting you to resize home windows to no matter measurement and adapting the UI the place conceivable.

However, now not each and every app has been up to date to toughen the wider vary of UI choices to be had in lately’s Android ecosystem. In the previous days, DeX used to position older apps into fastened home windows, however I couldn’t to find any apps that defaulted to this mode; all of the apps I attempted might be stretched and expanded. In reality, DeX treated some older apps higher than the Pixel, which defaulted to complete display screen and changed into unresponsive with a few older apps I attempted that unquestionably weren’t constructed for widescreen toughen. That’s a minor distinction within the grand scheme, despite the fact that.

On the entire, each DeX and Pixel desktop modes supply very identical core capability and run lately’s fashionable Android apps simply as neatly in desktop mode as in cellphone mode.

Subtle variations make a distinction

Eagle-eyed readers could have already noticed a couple of key variations once we first regarded on the interfaces. DeX defaults to appearing a couple of desktop icons, together with the dock, and you’ll be able to upload apps to the desktop grid just by clicking and dragging them out of the app drawer. In reality, DeX’s desktop is a completely customizable panorama all of its personal, whole with the exact same widgets you’ll be able to plaster everywhere your cellphone’s homescreen. Importantly, adjustments made right here don’t have an effect on your cellphone’s homescreen. Meanwhile, Pixel’s desktop is basically only a glorified wallpaper. Unlike DeX​, you’ll be able to’t position app icons or widgets without delay on it.

Another vital alternate is the best way the 2 deal with fast settings and notifications. DeX provides those choices as extra acquainted “gadget tray” or “notification space” pieces, together with a calendar and clock. Clicking any of those icons opens the related settings, permitting fast get right of entry to to test your agenda, toggle Bluetooth connections, or reply to an incoming message. It’s very PC-like. Google lately has not anything like this.

DeX has had a couple of extra years to refine the revel in.

Instead, Pixel opts for a top-down, phone-inspired method to notifications and fast settings. While that is acquainted in a single sense, it’s at odds with muscle reminiscence for the way we predict desktop interfaces to paintings. For a get started, the tiny little clock or connectivity icons you must click on on the peak of the display screen are a long way too small. Even after you in the end pull down the menu, it nonetheless takes up all of the display screen, blocking off your apps and restricting your multitasking. Compared to a pleasing little pop-up together with your display screen, it’s now not nice.

It’s now not a blank sweep for DeX, despite the fact that. On my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, DeX scaled Chrome so aggressively that navigating some pages changed into awkward. It’s necessarily trapped within the cell global, inflicting all types of formatting problems when viewing pages on a big display screen. Requesting desktop variations of websites helped, however now not sufficiently to make this a local revel in — you’re highest off sticking to Samsung Internet, which matches flawlessly. By comparability, Google has long past to a couple effort to make sure a extra desktop-like Chrome revel in, despite the fact that it nonetheless lacks extensions.

DeX stays the most productive Android desktop setup, for now

By now, you’ll be able to most definitely inform I’m leaning extra in prefer of DeX than Pixel Desktop Mode, however just for a couple of small quality-of-life enhancements somewhat than a core capability distinction.

For example, DeX does a greater activity of surfacing further however crucial External Display settings. There’s a devoted choice for display screen timeout for PC mode, which is frustratingly the similar for cellphone and desktop modes at the Pixel. Furthermore, you’ll be able to set PC-only wallpapers on DeX whilst all customization settings are shared on Google’s implementation. My Galaxy S25 Ultra even includes a great little touchpad button on the backside left of the telephone display screen, letting me simply navigate the exterior show with out a mouse hooked up. Points for DeX right here; the platform’s adulthood and additional years below refinement do make it that little bit nicer to make use of.

Pixel appears like a large cellphone whilst DeX is a extra vintage desktop.

I will highest sum up the variation because the Pixel’s setup is extra restricted in a single key approach: its UI continues to be very a lot sure to its cellphone interface. The phone-like notification panel and the loss of per-interface chronic settings are minor gripes, however they’re surely sufficient to take the shine off the revel in for energy customers. Once you peel again the wrapper, it’s transparent that you simply’re nonetheless very a lot operating on a Pixel cellphone, whilst DeX has a clearer separation between its cellphone host and the desktop interface you need to spend time doing severe paintings in. It’s solely small variations, however they upload up.

Pixel Desktop Mode displays the place Android is heading — a unmarried OS that scales seamlessly from cellphone to desktop. Google plans to tackle desktops with Aluminium OS prior to the top of the yr, finally. But lately, Samsung DeX nonetheless feels just like the extra whole desktop surroundings because of its further refinement. The hole isn’t massive, despite the fact that, and if Google continues iterating at its present tempo, Pixel Desktop Mode would possibly not keep in the back of for lengthy.

Don’t wish to pass over the most productive from Android Authority?

Modern phone screens, including the best OLEDs, are not perfect. They flicker, usually with low pulse-width modulation (PWM) rates, and this can be irritating or downright painful for certain people.

There’s one company trying to address all of these issues, TCL, but the brand’s phones rarely make their way into the U.S. I went out of my way to buy the TCL 60 XE NXTPAPER 5G, a low-end model that actually was available stateside, and had to deal with slow speeds, a meager camera system, and budget-caliber build quality. At MWC 2026, TCL showed off the NXTPAPER 70 Pro, which is a much stronger offering finally coming to the U.S. next month.

I strongly counsel spending a couple of mins within the app to show those settings off as soon as your Alexa is about up. Here’s the place to start. 

Turn off settings to Stop Alexa’s ‘By The Way’ and Other Chatter

Amazon’s Alexa does not communicate a lot, however sure settings make it talk up after conversations are executed or with out the wake phrase. It additionally has a irritating dependancy of including “through the way in which” dialog after you are executed speaking and for your means. But the best settings can lend a hand repair this. 

The first is Hunches, or tips on find out how to use attached gadgets. Sometimes those tips are useful — as an example, providing to fasten your door at evening or suggesting a brand new technique to use timers, however they may be able to even be irritating and disruptive. Fortunately, you’ll close them down.

In the Alexa app, consult with the hamburger-line More/Menu icon on the backside to open the bigger menu. Then head to Settings > Hunches > the Hunches Settings tools icon within the higher proper > Notifications. Here you’ll be able to to find choices to disable Hunches solely.

As for “through the way in which” and identical tips, it is even more straightforward to maintain. Head again to Settings > Things to Try and disable the serve as right here. After doing this, Alexa stopped giving me “through the way in which” tips solely. 

You can attempt to disable those settings through giving voice instructions, comparable to, “Alexa, disable Hunches.”But  I’ve discovered this approach to be hit and miss, despite the fact that Alexa concurs to do it, so should you stay listening to tips, check out the guide means. 

Stop Amazon from saving your voice recordings

By default, Amazon opts you into its program the use of voice recordings for analysis functions. If that makes you uncomfortable, you’ll keep watch over sure sides of information assortment, like how lengthy Amazon holds onto recordings. 

In the Alexa app, move to More > Alexa Privacy > Manage Your Alexa DataVoice Recordings and Transcripts. Here you’ll be able to discover a Don’t Retain choice, this means that voice recordings are instantly discarded after being processed.

This phase may be value exploring for comparable choices, comparable to interest-based commercials, should you’d moderately listing your pursuits than permit advert concentrated on.

These choices not too long ago modified so much, which is why you may even see previous recommendation on find out how to prevent sending voice knowledge to Amazon, length. That’s now not conceivable: When Alexa Plus was once introduced in early 2025, Amazon added a metamorphosis to Echo gadgets that calls for them to ship voice knowledge to the cloud for research, probably to lend a hand teach the brand new Alexa AI. That doesn’t suggest people will pay attention in your recordings, since that is normally executed by the use of an set of rules, however it is one thing value realizing. 

Limit the Skills you don’t want

Many permissions are off through default, however it is value checking each and every so steadily which talents you’ve got enabled over time and whether or not any have one-time get admission to you would moderately now not depart on endlessly.

To keep watch over those permissions, faucet More > Alexa Privacy > Manage Skill Permissions and Ad Preferences. From right here, you’ll make a choice the knowledge kind you wish to have to get admission to after which toggle every ability on or off.

If you employ Alexa Plus, move to Manage Alexa+ Services the use of the suggested on the most sensible of the permissions display screen. Here you are able to arrange the extra in-depth Alexa Plus talents and the way they turn on, should you’ve selected to attach any of them. 

Turn off Amazon voice buying

To tweak this selection, head to More > Settings > Account Settings > Voice Purchasing. Here you’ll be able to to find choices to restrict voice buying, flip it off solely, flip it off for children or prohibit it in the back of permissions like a affirmation code.

Unlike a telephone name, Drop In does not require you to respond to — your buddy’s voice merely performs in the course of the software’s speaker.

It might sound cool in the beginning, however it is simple to put out of your mind that whenever you permit digital guests, they may be able to drop in at any time — unannounced. Unless you are pleased with pals or circle of relatives the use of the function at inopportune moments, it is best to show off Drop In till you in fact need to use it. To accomplish that, within the Alexa app, head to More > Settings > Device Settings (or glance up particular software) > Echo > Echo Settings (the tools icon) > Communications

Smarter AI, Stronger Privacy: Why the Galaxy S26 Series Is a Genuine Leap Forward

0
Smartphone launches have a addiction of drowning in spec-sheet theatre. Bigger numbers, shinier fabrics, a slide deck stuffed with percentages. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 sequence greenbacks that tendency. This is a flagship constructed round what it if truth be told seems like to carry, use, and accept as true with a telephone day in and time out.

Unveiled in San Francisco, the Galaxy S26 lineup alerts a transparent shift in Samsung’s priorities. The Ultra style, specifically, tells that tale maximum vividly. The corporate has now not deserted {hardware} refinement, however it’s now not main with uncooked energy because the headline act. Instead, the Galaxy S26 sequence makes the case that practical upgrades in privateness, digicam optics, thermal control, and on-device AI are value extra to the general public than a marginal GPU spice up. It is a compelling argument, and one the {hardware} in large part backs up.

A Display Built to Keep Your Screen to Yourself

The unmarried maximum crowd pleasing function at the Galaxy S26 Ultra is person who hasn’t ever gave the impression on a Samsung telephone ahead of: a hardware-level privateness show. Samsung is looking it the “World’s First Privacy Display on Mobile,” and the declare rests on a real engineering success moderately than advertising and marketing sleight of hand.

The era, evolved underneath Samsung Display’s Flex Magic Pixel trademark and abbreviated as FMP, works on the pixel point. Instead of depending on an o.e.m privateness movie caught on most sensible of the glass, the Galaxy S26 Ultra builds the light-narrowing impact immediately into the panel itself. The show emits gentle in a decent, forward-facing cone. From a facet attitude, the display screen seems blurred or just about invisible. The era has won impartial “Privacy Display” verification from UL Solutions, including third-party credibility to Samsung’s declare.

What makes this handy in day by day lifestyles is the device regulate sitting on most sensible of the {hardware}. Users can follow the privateness filter out selectively, turning it on for a banking app or a PIN access display screen with out locking all the show into restricted-visibility mode. That granular regulate is what separates a sensible privateness instrument from a novelty function.

Underneath the privateness layer, Samsung has additionally upgraded the OLED panel itself. Native 10-bit color improve, an progressed anti-reflective coating, and higher general energy potency spherical out a show bundle that outperforms the S25 Ultra in color accuracy and outside clarity.

Design: Slimmer, Lighter, and Cooler When It Counts

The rear digicam array has been redesigned round what Samsung calls an “ambient island” structure. The lenses are grouped right into a unmarried unified housing moderately than sitting as person floating components as they did at the S25 Ultra. The visible result’s cleaner and extra cohesive, and the sensible get advantages is a again panel this is much less prone to catch on material or really feel unbalanced within the hand.

The bodily dimensions inform a simple tale. The Galaxy S26 Ultra measures 7.9mm thick and weighs 214 grams, in comparison to 218 grams on its predecessor. Four grams is a small quantity, however blended with the decreased thickness, the telephone sits extra naturally within the hand throughout longer classes.

The thermal engineering replace merits extra consideration than it in most cases will get in telephone protection. Samsung has expanded the interior vapor chamber and matched it with a brand new thermal interface subject matter. The result’s 21 p.c better warmth dissipation in comparison to the former Ultra technology. In real-world phrases, that suggests sustained workloads like in depth gaming or video modifying are a long way much less prone to cause efficiency throttling. This has traditionally been one of the most extra irritating barriers of striking robust chips within skinny glass-and-metal enclosures, and Samsung has made significant development right here.

The Armor Aluminum body and Corning Gorilla Glass development raise over from the former technology, in conjunction with the similar water and mud resistance ranking.

Pro-Level Cameras, Powered By Galaxy AI

On paper, the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s digicam specs glance just about unchanged from closing 12 months. The number one sensor stays 200 megapixels, the telephoto stays 50 megapixels with 5x optical zoom. But Samsung has made one of the vital impactful adjustments to be had with out swapping the sensor fully: it has widened the aperture on each lenses.

The number one digicam strikes from f/1.7 to f/1.4. That wider opening shall we in kind of 47 p.c extra gentle, which is a physics-level development that device post-processing can not totally mirror. The sensible payoff is quicker shutter speeds in dim environments, higher movement freezing, and a shallower herbal intensity of box that provides portraits a extra outlined subject-background separation.

The telephoto lens strikes from f/3.4 to f/2.9. The hole sounds small, but it surely makes the 5x zoom lens noticeably extra succesful in low-light prerequisites, generating cleaner pictures with much less virtual noise when zoomed pictures would up to now have struggled.

Video recording additionally alternatives up an invaluable new instrument. A Horizontal Lock function makes use of real-time gyroscope information to stay the recorded horizon point even if the telephone is circled or tilted mid-shot. It builds at the current Super Steady stabilisation and addresses a commonplace frustration for any individual who has reviewed shaky holiday photos after the truth.

On the processing facet, the ProScaler engine handles virtual zoom refinement, whilst Photo Assist manages text-prompted symbol edits. Creative Studio extends that into generative symbol advent for customers who need extra complex modifying functions constructed immediately into the digicam app.

Powerful Performance and All-Day Battery

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is powered via a customized Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The usual S26 and S26 Plus make the transition to Samsung’s personal Exynos 2600, which is constructed on a 2nm production procedure. The 2nm node is a notable step ahead for the Exynos line, with significant GPU efficiency positive factors that are supposed to get advantages each gaming and potency underneath heavy workloads.

Storage and reminiscence configurations get started at 12GB of RAM and 256GB of garage around the lineup. The Ultra style will also be configured as much as 16GB of RAM and 1TB of interior garage. That is a significant building up over the S25 Ultra, which crowned out at 12GB of RAM even in its highest-tier configuration.

One of probably the most consequential improve for day by day customers is also charging pace. The Galaxy S26 Ultra now helps 60W stressed charging, a vital bounce that has been at the want checklist for Samsung customers for a number of generations. Wireless charging is supported at 25W in the course of the Qi2 usual. With the 5,000mAh battery, Samsung claims a fee from empty to 75 p.c in kind of half-hour. For a telephone that the general public depend on as their number one gadget, that roughly charging pace reduces one of the most extra power day by day annoyances.

One UI 8.5: Automation with Privacy Built In

The device revel in at the S26 sequence ships with One UI 8.5, and its design philosophy centres on two objectives that would simply battle: smarter automation and more potent privateness controls. Samsung has constructed the model delivery right here round making each paintings on the similar time.

The AI Call Screening function handles incoming calls robotically. It solutions, asks the caller to provide an explanation for their objective, and generates a textual content abstract in genuine time. The consumer can then come to a decision whether or not to pick out up or forget about the decision with out ever interacting with an unknown caller immediately. It is a sensible filter out for unsolicited mail and undesirable interruptions.

Now Nudge reads on-screen context and surfaces related shortcuts and autofill choices when they’re prone to be helpful. It works throughout each Samsung’s local apps and third-party packages, lowering the choice of steps required for commonplace repeated duties.

On the privateness structure facet, a devoted information engine works along Samsung’s Knox Vault and the Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection structure, referred to internally as KEEP, to isolate and encrypt non-public data on the {hardware} point. Users retain direct regulate over the place AI processing takes position. Tasks can run fully on-device for optimum privateness, or the consumer can decide into cloud processing for extra complicated operations that will exceed what the native {hardware} can take care of successfully.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra does now not win via reinventing the class. It wins via taking a look truthfully at what the shopper want and addressing it with engineering moderately than advertising and marketing. Better warmth control, progressed low-light optics, a in fact new option to show privateness, sooner charging, and a device layer that automates the aggravating portions of day by day telephone use with out compromising non-public information. Each piece is a focused development, and in combination they construct an AI telephone this is extra able to dealing with genuine lifestyles than its predecessor. For patrons buying groceries within the top class tier who care extra about day by day usability than benchmark effects, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is a transparent case.
