DeX Configuration Allow mobile workers to use their Samsung Galaxy smartphones as if they were laptops or desktop computers by connecting them to a monitor. On the big screen, it’s easier for them to open files, write documents, edit presentations and create spreadsheets. And while mobile workers are utilizing DeX, you can still ensure the safety and security of devices and data by setting screen timeouts or allowing ethernet connections/docked usage connections only. One-Click App Access Instead of having end users swipe through screens to locate a business-critical app, use hardware key remapping to make them accessible and available with the push a single, pre-programmed key. Battery Protection Batteries are the lifeblood of any Samsung device and over-charging them shortens their lifespan. Battery protection mode allows you to stop devices from reaching a 100% charge when they’re left plugged in ([82% of people leave their phones plugged in to charge overnight](https://techjury.net/blog/iphone-charging-overnight/#:~:text=still,wefoundapollwithmorethan16,000answerswhichshedssomelightonthequestion)) and helps with: - Extending battery lifespan - Reducing frequency of charging cycles for workers in the field - Costs associated with battery replacements (the [average cost of a smartphone battery replacement ranges from $25 to $100](https://flipsy.com/article/7114/phone-battery-replacement-options#:~:text=ingeneral,youcanexpecttopaybetween$25and$100togetyourbatteryreplaced,dependingonyourmodelandtheserviceyouselect)) Battery protection mode can be applied to your fleet of Samsung devices remotely as part of your SOTI MobiControl policy. ### FOR FURTHER READING [Learn How SOTI XSight Helps Protect & Prolong Battery Health](https://soti.net/products/soti-xsight/#:~:text=they%20become%20problems.-,Battery,Dashboards,-Batteries%20are%20expensive) ## Keep Personal and Work Apps Separate on Corporate Devices Since more and more employees are using work devices outside of working hours, organizations want a clear separation between third-party apps and corporate apps on fully managed corporate devices.
