Got a new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone, fully stock (no root, not planning to root). I'm trying to mirror my phone screen to my Windows 11 PC, but having no luck so far. I don't just need file...

Samsung DeX – Best for Desktop Experience

While Samsung officially removed the DeX for PC app in One UI 7, a new method using Scrcpy and Android's built-in desktop mode (One UI 8 / Android 16) brings back the full desktop experience for mirroring Android screen to a PC on Windows 11 or Windows 10.

Connection Type: USB or Wi-Fi.

Key Features:

Desktop-Class Interface: Turns your phone into a Windows-like desktop environment with resizable windows, taskbar, and multi-tasking .

Seamless Control: Full mouse, keyboard, and clipboard support.

No Root Required: Uses the same ADB/Scrcpy backend .

Requirements:

Samsung Galaxy phone running One UI 8 or later (Android 16) .

Scrcpy installed on your PC.

USB Debugging enabled.

How to Mirror Android to PC without root :

1. Connect your phone to your PC via USB.

2. Open a command prompt/terminal in your scrcpy folder.

3. Run the command: scrcpy --new-display=1920x1080/284

4. On your phone, select DeX as the display mode when prompted .

This launches a full DeX session in a resizable window on your PC, giving you the closest experience to using a desktop operating system from your phone.
