When searching for "DeX" on the Korean version of Samsung Z Flip, there was no result, it seems to confirm that the Z Flip device does not have this feature.

Samsung DeX is a great feature that helps you connect your smartphone to your laptop for a desktop-like experience.
The original Samsung Galaxy Fold also lacked DeX support when it was initially released, but Samsung later added that feature through a firmware update.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip may have a similar treatment, after all, this is a high-end phone that sells for $1,380.
However, this is not a 100% guarantee, and the lack of support for DeX at the time of listing is not unique to Samsung folding screen devices.
Previously, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite also lacked this feature, even though the feature is already available on the Galaxy A90 5G, and both models are equipped with the Snapdragon 855 processor.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is equipped with Snapdragon 855 Plus, so technically, all these smartphones can support DeX.
The Korean market was one of the earliest to launch the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, and the first 900 units were quickly sold out in 7.5 hours.
