Here’s the truth behind Samsung Auto DeX, and why it’s not an Android Auto alternative

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-03 16:05:45

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Auto already exists as an Android Auto alternative in China but requires specific regional software and hardware to function. “Samsung Auto DeX” refers to an unofficial workaround enabling Samsung Auto functionality on non-support head units via desktop mode casting. Despite ongoing speculation, we could not locate confirmed evidence that suggests Samsung is officially developing “Auto DeX” as a distinct feature. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
