The New Desktop Mode Feature of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6

New Feature of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6: Desktop Mode

The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 hosts an innovation that will surprise its users. This compact and foldable phone, when connected to an external monitor, not only mirrors the screen but also has the ability to transform into a mini desktop PC.

When you connect the device to an external display, the Galaxy Z Flip6’s screen is mirrored in a standard way. However, what is remarkable is that the device has a new desktop mode that is hidden by default and can be activated through developer options. When you enable the “force desktop mode” option in the developer options of One UI 6.1.1, a new user interface is activated when your Flip6 is connected to an external monitor.

Visually, this new desktop interface is positioned somewhere between Android’s basic desktop mode and Samsung Dex; this significantly enriches the user experience. In this context, forcing desktop mode is quite a notable feature. Although the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 also has screen output via USB-C, enabling the “force desktop mode” option on that model does not provide a similar experience. This situation gives the impression that the South Korean technology giant is preparing to offer users more options with the Flip6.

So, when and how will this exciting “desktop” mode be made available to regular users? The answer to this question continues to be a great curiosity for users.
