For the past month, I’ve been trying to lighten the load in my backpack by trying to condense what I absolutely need to bring with me to work. One of the worst offenders was my laptop, which at £3 is still taxing my back. That’s why I ditched my laptop for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 for 2 weeksjust to see if i could pay with a phone for all my work related tasks.

With Galaxy S25 Ultra slated for an early 2025 release, it more than likely will be Samsung DeX stand to meet my need as a laptop replacement. While this has been a long-standing feature of Samsung’s flagship series, it desperately needs to be exploited more than ever if the Galaxy S25 Ultra has any chance of beating the best phone there, in iPhone 16 Pro Max.
