  "account": "A new app enables Samsung DeX functionality on the Galaxy Z Fold without the need for an external monitor. This application, developed by Nobu and named DeX Inner Tester, allows users to turn their Z Fold devices into a portable mini-computer, according to a post on X. The app is compatible with Z Fold models running One UI 8 or later versions. Currently, the app can be downloaded as an APK, but a Play Store version is expected to be available soon. Samsung DeX, which has been available for nearly a decade, allows users to transform their Galaxy smartphones into desktops for a larger screen experience. However, with foldable devices like the Galaxy Z Fold, some users might appreciate a desktop-like interface directly on their phones.",
