This (and the internet in general) is pretty anemic on details.
Is this a VM on top of dalvik? I assumed DEX was deprecated in favour of ART https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/gc-debug.html https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/gc-debug.html
I mean it is still compatible bytecode (i think) but who knows anything about android roadmap anymore?
- Jonnax 8y agoDeX is Samsung's brand for connecting their phones to a monitor and having a desktop mode. It's not related to dex/art of Dalvik.

- mshockwave 8y agoAnd also dex is the bytecode format, which is still be used by ART(for compatibility reason I guess)
- adrianmonk 8y agoApparently it has no connection, even though they're both technologies for running things on Android. Presumably someone in branding at Samsung thinks this makes sense. They might not even be wrong considering this is end user focused whereas .dex files are something only developers see.
