Samsung DeX revamped with Android 16 desktop mode in One UI 8 for a true PC like experience
Samsung is quietly reshaping the way we think about mobile computing. DeX, its long standing desktop mode, is undergoing its boldest transformation yet. Samsung DeX first launched in 2017 alongside the Galaxy S8 series. It was designed to turn smartphones into desktop style workstations. Now connecting a phone to an external display, users could switch into a more PC style interface complete with windowed apps, a taskbar and mouse support. Over the years, Samsung expanded DeX with features like taskbar controls, app pinning, keyboard customisation, and advanced window management. But with One UI 8, things are changing in a big way. At Google I/O, it was confirmed that Android will officially support desktop mode starting with Android 16. This is not an extra layer or workaround but a feature now being built directly into the operating system. Samsung's own DeX platform plays a key role in that shift, having helped lay the groundwork. The native desktop mode is already live in Android 16's beta, though it is still early and rough in places. Samsung is building on that foundation to deliver a redesigned DeX experience, making its debut on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. Today, the desktop experience is no longer a standalone experience layered entirely on Samsung's terms. With Android 16 bringing a built-in desktop mode, Samsung is now aligning its own platform with Google's system level approach. That means a more unified interface across Android devices and better long term compatibility for users. But it also means letting go of some of the long standing DeX features. In One UI 8, the DeX settings have been reworked. The old DeX is now called a "Connected Display." Options like showing or hiding the taskbar, moving the keyboard, and choosing audio output are gone. The 'Exit DeX' and 'Lock DeX' buttons have also been removed. The app drawer now scrolls up and down instead of sideways, and some advanced shortcuts are no longer available. While these changes in DeX may seem like a step backward, especially for those who use it regularly, they are part of a broader shift. Android 16 introduces a native desktop mode with support for freeform windows, a persistent taskbar, and improved external display handling. Rather than continuing to build DeX as a separate layer, Samsung is now working alongside Google, using this new foundation to shape what DeX will become. The goal here is not to take away familiar features, but to create an experience that is more consistent and easier to support other devices. In the current One UI 8 Beta, DeX still holds onto its core, and that's what matters most. You can still wirelessly connect to displays, use your smartphone as a touchpad and work with an S pen. It still does the job, but now it does it with better stability and a smoother flow. DeX is starting to feel more like a desktop. Apps open and resize more smoothly, and the whole setup looks and works less like a phone stretched onto a bigger screen. Some older settings are missing, which regular users might notice. But Samsung is now building DeX on Android 16's desktop mode. This is not the end of DeX as we know it. It's the start of DeX as it was always meant to be.

Union Bank of India puts 10 Future Group brands on block to recover dues
Public sector lender Union Bank of India has put on the block 10 brands of Future Brands Ltd, part of Kishore Biyani's Future Group, for recovery of dues. Brands being auctioned include BARE, HAUTE N SPICY, and STUDIO NYX, with the reserve price set at Rs 230 crore. The auction of secured assets is slated for the middle of August. The dues cover secured debt estimated at over Rs 181 crore, plus interest, costs, and other charges, according to the auction notice. The auction is being conducted under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act (SARFAESI), which enables banks and financial institutions to recover non-performing assets (NPAs). A senior bank executive said the lender has an exclusive first charge on the brands. The bank wants to explore the value of these brands, which are intangible assets. The account became an NPA in early 2022, and provisions have been made in line with regulatory norms. Future Brands, a Mumbai-based entity incorporated in 2006, is a brand and intellectual property rights company focused on creating, developing, managing, nurturing, and acquiring brands. In June 2024, Acuite downgraded Future Brands Ltd's long-term rating from 'B+' to 'D'. The downgrade was based on banker feedback indicating the account's categorisation as an NPA. The rating continues to be flagged as 'Issuer Not-Cooperating' and is based on the best available information. Highlighting weaknesses associated with the entity, the rating agency noted that servicing obligations were dependent on timely refinancing or infusion of funds by the promoters, and pointed to a moderate financial risk profile. Besides licensing, FBL has advised global and Indian companies such as Colgate-Palmolive, Eicher Motors, and Tata Motors on conceptual and operational brand challenges, offering insights and knowledge-based brand solutions. In 2020, FBL held the licences to 40 brands, including John Miller, BARE, DJ&C, Fresh & Pure, Lombard, Srishti, IQIP, Knighthood, KORYO, and Rig, across fashion, electronics, and FMCG formats.

FM Sitharaman clarifies GST issue related to apartment associations
New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman clarified in Parliament on Monday that apartment associations are required to register under GST if their aggregate turnover exceeds Rs 20 lakh (Rs 10 lakh in special category states) in a financial year and the associations are required to pay GST only where the maintenance charged is more than Rs 7,500 per month per member. The Finance Minister further stated that apartment associations having maintenance charges up to Rs 7,500 per month per member or having aggregate turnover of goods and services below the threshold need not be registered under GST. The residents staying in the apartments do not have to pay GST. It is only the apartment associations that have to pay as they are the supplier of services, the Finance Minister said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha. "No GST compliance requirements have been placed upon the residents of apartments, irrespective of the monthly maintenance amount paid," she added. Initially, services by an apartment association to its resident members against maintenance charges up to Rs. 5,000 per month were exempt. However, the exemption limit was enhanced to Rs. 7,500 per month per member in accordance with the recommendations of the GST Council in its 25th meeting held on January 18, 2018, the Finance Minister said. The services by an apartment association to its own resident members, where the maintenance charges are greater than Rs 7,500, are taxed at the rate of 18 per cent on the recommendations of the GST Council. The limit of Rs 7,500 was also prescribed on the recommendations of the GST Council in its 25th meeting, in which a decision was taken to increase the limit from the previous level of Rs 5,000 per person per member. Sitharaman also said that if any due tax has not been paid under the GST Act, the taxpayers are provided with an option to pay either no penalty or reduced penalty, provided they are ready to pay the due tax within a specified time period. She also said that events like Taxpayer Samvad, workshops, and awareness programs are regularly being organised for information dissemination and awareness through GST facilitation centres. These initiatives are designed to help taxpayers accurately assess their tax liability. Further, there is no requirement under CGST law to obtain any official letter from the resident or apartment associations regarding their apartment's GST status.
