I test the multitasking desktop features of the Dex Pad. Take a look at the index to get to the section you want to see. I test it with Netflix, KZbin, KZbin TV, Direct TV now and other apps. Can it multitask like a pc? Check out the review.

[@hail978]

Can you use it on a naviskauto 14 portable blu-ray DVD player?

[@DoritosResidue]

The dex pad which I just bought on amazon for 55 outperforms my 3rd party usb c hub. Everything is soo much smoother when using dex when using official dex hardware on my Note 9.

[@jamiecollett8840]

Great video!

[@CooperTroopa]

Thanks for the vid 😎👍 I just bought one

[@MurrayEstes]

I use blue tooth for keyboard, samsung home stereo speakers system and mouse. Works great. ...

[@russell8815]

Hi, Excellent Demonstration! Your video is missing a demonstration from the connecting from Samsung Smartphone to DeX and viewing how long a start up. My Old first DeX Dockstation takes awhile to startup, while unplugging type C cable from DeX Type C port repeatingly, or taking Smartphone out of the DeX and placing back in until I get a response picture on the TV. Even then, it hard to keep the signal stable without constant cutoff. Will the DeX Pad have the same trouble with connection, flicking, and cutoffs like it predecessor? Thank you

[@ciprianstanescu]

I had Dex Station, but when talking on phone hands-free on tv from couch, the person i was talking to cound not hear me well, because the microphone was covered by the Dex Station. So I upgraded to the Dex Pad because it does not cover the microphone on the bottom of the phone

[@NeutralGenericUser]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't support a case on purpose, because that would inhibit the active cooling and your phone would probably overheat as a result.

[@oo-gg6yo]

Probably right my nugget

[@jordanwelty6582]

Probably not.. preordered my s9+ and have never had heating issue in a thick case.. the 845 is very well designed

[@markoa5]

[@couch_patatas2651]

I have the HDMI cable type, it says that i can use it as a touchpad but somehow I can't do it. Ive been twitching it for 2 days, can someone help me set this up?

[@Dave-ek2jx]

I have been searching for an answer to this: on Samsung's site it says you can continue to use apps on your phone while DeX is on your monitor. Is this correct? I have read no mention of this in any reviews and am attempting to verify the claim or at least learn if there are any caveats.

[@tyronebyrd7353]

I'm wondering does this hold the charge on your phone or does it drain faster then it can charge while using?

[@MurrayEstes]

No charging problems :) Kept my Galaxy Note 8 at 100 percent and charged it from 88 percent to 100 Percent in 15 or so Min. I enjoy the new Dex pad on my Samsung 4k Monitor and Samsung curved monitor as well.

[@snorlax905]

can't you just use a usb c extension cable to make it possible for the samsung in a UAG case to connect ?

[@snorlax905]

Did the samsung in the UAG case fit in the old dex docking station or also needed to remove the cover first ?

[@9adrda]

What about the screen you are using. Is that the reason for the size of some programs?

[@jakeellis8525]

Can I use google chrome extensions on this?

[@sv6110]

Why don't samsung sell or make a 10 or 12inch monitor and key board set-up that you put your phone in where the mouse pad would be on a laptop so you could use dex

[@carlossantamaria2478]

Work whit the 8s plus?

[@taylor341703617]

what about hooking up a usb camrea

[@2010ngojo]

Depends on what case you have on your phone. I have a thin case on my note8 and it fits just fine. Having a thick case will impede the fan from cooling your phone anyways.

[@Sr.D]

Dex and huawei pc mode looks cool but at the end just screen mirroring thru hdmi it's the more practical solution and where you now everything is going to work add mouse and keyboard with an usbc hub or Bluetooth and you're good to go.

[@iniemamocny]

You can turn almost all apps into fullscreen mode by turning on dex labs function. Also there's a switch in developer menu for fulscreen.

[@ebpman]

Some apps still crash even with that mode on. But most work well. It's a great tip.

[@joshkatherine4586]

How's the charge rate on the dex station? Does it charge faster than it sucks battery when in use?

[@olovbrodin5923]

Yes, it will...

[@MurrayEstes]

Wish S Pin worked on galaxy note 8 so I could write on documents while phone is attached to dex pad. Surfing CPA Honolulu Hawaii

[@rasmusbacklund]

Can it run word in Fullscreen

[@samsungdexvideosbyshaunros121]

I personally prefer using Microsoft Edge browser when on Samsung DeX. Chrome is my my fourth option when it comes to browsers on Samsung DeX.

[@vracerv]

Chromecast? Does it work? When plugged to pad?

[@MurrayEstes]

Going to get my Dexpad July 4th, 2018 at Bestbuy (Pickup) - I will post if my note 8 drains power when using the Dexpad. My gut feeling is 1440p might use more power....

[@damellman]

Spartan-Surfer . Take it back. Return it and get it for cheaper with Walmart price match. I wish I would have seen this a week ago and I've would have told you to price match it to Walmart then buy from Best Buy. I am learning so many different things about it. It's awesome! I went to Best Buy and looking for a laptop and told them why I needed one to write resumes in apply for jobs in the Best Buy associate introduced me to the Samsung DEX . I Saved a lot of money. Side note * Also download dex max from the playstore

[@Max86421]

Nice!

[@mart2942]

Random tip: Use a type c female to male cord/dongle

[@vijeysrini]

That is really sad, that we need to take the case off, but can you tell me is that the same with samsung's own rugged military kick stand case?

[@sos.gamers]

Is made like that so the fan can cool the phone, if u use the case the phone will be over heating and will have lag and bad performance

[@Frostbite65803cp]

If you want to watch netflix in full screen just enable dex labs, it make just about every thing work in full screen after you enable it

[@way2frothy]

The DeX pad allows you to use the phone as a touchpad. I dont see how the station could.

[@MikeLeitner]

Using with case is some what counter productive. As this will limit cooling

[@steveshroyer806]

Were you on wifi when you made the video? or just on your carrier's 4g LTE?

[@ebpman]

Steve Shroyer wifi I believe

[@Antli2024]

DeX Max app will force apps fullscreen. I've had good luck with Netflix

[@kissme4492]

Not being able to use a hard case is a deal killer for me. Just got off the phone with SAMSUNG. They are working on it. Great idea. Can't wait until they remedy the situation.

[@sos.gamers]

If u use the case the phone is gonna have over heating, that's why u can't use it... So the fan can cool your phone

[@kylenorris9585]

Update Netflix works fine on The note 9 in full screen it just reboots into tablet mode and thenm goes full screen

[@basically_chris]

Really Nice video, but.. You guys know the whole UI is stretched due to ultra-wide screen, right!? PS You can watch KZbin on your S9 while working on a document on your computer, at the same time, already :P

[@Gworan]

I was going to buy a Dex, but I also use a 21:9 wide monitor, and seeing how everything is stretched, this really sucks...

[@ikemouser2580]

Can u power the pad with a fast charging power bank?

[@willwinstanley]

it would probably work, if it outputs the full 9v not 5v like the old power banks, did it work?

[@dabombcra]

There are other videos that explain how to view Netflix in full screen. I get my dex pad soon and will be testing it out

[@yoonskim77]

there is a screen mirroring option that you can open netflix application and it will play in full screen

[@reecedowley3851]

Honestly, with the S10's coming out with up to 12gb of ram, they should be able to partner with Microsoft to run a full windows 10 os whenever you plug it into Dex. Only limiting factor would be CPU, but for light loads like web browsing and office, it's just better on windows ten than android. Hands down. Always will be.

[@llothar68]

People wont accept it, you had the same problems moving data around and startup times when Dexing. Stupid idea. This was what windows phone was about. But because of the stupidness and marketing, corporate-thinking over engineering it failed terrible.

[@thenow5559]

Can it be connected with dual monitors?

[@OmerAlazawy]

What about playing 4K videos? By using for example : Mx Player

[@luegardener5921]

Omer Alazawy it only goes up to 2k

[@ChemicalCorpse91]

Lue Gardener So it doesn't play 4k hdr videos ?

[@christopherquintanilla6572]

2k is more then enough from a phone. If you guys want 4k we have desktops for a reason

[@14u2ponder]

My biggest issue with the Dex is the 30htz frame rate

[@taxx666]

I just got one😎😎😎

[@PahangDarulMakmur]

hi..i just tried in at samsung centre..15 seconds after succesful connection then the display stucked..can u help me?

[@dailylifejericho8771]

APPLE USERS ARE SO JELOUS THAT WE SAMSUNG USERS CAN DO THIS 😂😂😂

[@vampiro664]

How good is this for gaming?

[@sos.gamers]

Is great! I play with friends on my S9, and Dolphin, games like Mario Power Tennis, Zelda Wind Waker, Smash Bros and N64 games at full speed but in dolphin u should put everything at 1x resolution and low settings cuz it will go slow

[@ikgeek]

you can re-size any app by forcing it from developer options.

[@JaredDoyle76]

You can get one of these: "BBing dex USB C to HDMI 4K Adapter for Galaxy S8/S8+/S9/S9 Plus/Note 8" from Amazon that functions EXACTLY the same as the Samsung Dex hardware with the benefit of USB 3.0 ports and it's $30. Also no need to remove most cases.

[@davidls187]

If you wanna use Netflix fullscreen just do it from the browser like you would on a desktop. Jesus are you slow

[@contraxlit]

With the Dex Pad? If i connect the Dex Pad to a 4K TV, i can see Netflix in a Full Screen?

[@yoonskim77]

there is a screen mirroring option that you can open netflix application and it will play in full screen

[@taxx666]

Or get dex max app

[@czror]

5 dollars USB-C to HDMI adapter will make the same job , with disadvantage 1) charging 2) probably limited tab windows (but for standard MS Excel work with youtube or 30 minutes presentation - it is amazing and sufficient . But anyway, I am going to buy PAD just because I use USB-keyboard and USB-mouse already....

[@bertwesler1181]

Why is my DeX not displaying like a computer. It is displaying like a cellphone.

[@calalclab]

you need to click on the dex setting to start dex instead of screen mirroring

[@miguel1waterpolo1guy]

This is great and all for monitors what if I just wanted the keyboard and mouse and I still used my phone screen

[@kylebaker2641]

buy a bluetooth keyboard and mouse

[@miguel1waterpolo1guy]

Kyle Baker agreed , also there is a 30 USB hdmi hub for the phone cheaper than the DeX

[@chrishieatt3509]

@@kylebaker2641 777

[@LeeKeels]

The new one supports higher screen resolutions...a good reason to upgrade

[@luegardener5921]

Lee Keels that's wrong. It's all down to the last software update

[@ChemicalCorpse91]

Does it support 4k 60hz HDR ?

[@maxfps4662]

The newer one is only 1080p....dex PAD is 4k...

[@MetalFacedGamer]

Aren't they both u4k?

[@MasFreestyle]

@@ChemicalCorpse91 yes but only on screen mirroring on dex pad, but dex mode will get u up to 2k max, so if want to watch in 4k just switch to screen mirorring.

[@garysgarage.2841]

My biggest problem with Dex pad is nowhere in the specs does it say if while mirroring what the frame rate is. I didn't catch that in this video either. If not covered shame on you. All this multitasking is fine and dandy but some people just want to mirror at 4k 60hz for gaming. And just in case you didn't notice mirror mode is far superior for watching Netflix KZbin etc you get full screen why bother using dex for those things.

[@shehulsuratwala8568]

There are some cheap alternative of this for $30. Works just same as this one.

No I like the dex dock
