Samsung DeX Setup & best Apps | Smartphone feature unknown to iPhone users

Samsung DeX since its introduction in the year 2017 opened up with world between Mobiles & computer form factor. Setup for DeX is as simple as attaching an HDMI cable and everything just works!
Samsung DeX offers several apps and games which are optimised to work in DeX mode. This includes the entire Microsoft Office suit including words, powerpoint & excel. At the same time apps like Adobe Lightroom, VN Video, Team viewer & Zoom take advantage of the desktop environment which Samsung DeX offers.
www.samsung.com/in/apps/samsu...
With ability to truly multitask on a mobile device & a Full PC-like productivity mode, Samsung DeX is futuristic and certainly the direction which many other companies will also adopt.
Currently Apple iPhone users do not have access to any such service and that give a lot benefit to Samsung Galaxy users.
Samsung DeX is now wirelessly available on DeX compatible TVs. List of compatibility can be found on this FAQ page link : help.content.samsung.com/cswe...

[@VaupellGaming]

Since i learned about Dex maybe 2 years ago, i have been using the function as mobile laptop, i use it privately but also for work. Just so much nicer than carrying around a laptop, doing teams meetings, general office apps like powerpoint and excel and ofcourse mail correspondance on my phone. And i am even using the old Galaxy S9+ for +3 years now. And my biggest issue is memory space because i run dual simcard, and then i have no room for additional sd card. Instead i now got a small ssd drive i use for space when needed.

[@TechTakeaway]

That is so cool. The idea of using SSD for space with Dex must have opened up so many opportunities. Thanks for sharing

There are two huge issues with using Dex, one of those is the resolution which I am able to get only 1080p, 2K is being greyed out.

Randomly clicked onto this video while I was researching Samsung Dex and I thought I was watching a video made by a channel that has 100k++ subs.

Always love this kind of feature a lot. While it doesn't completely replace my Windows desktop, I always use it when travelling light. The fact that I can always connect it to the hotel's TV using an HDMI cable and have a PC-like experience from the bed is an absolute solid win.

Hi Faris, so true. That is exactly how I have used it in the past as well. Just carrying a mouse and a USB c adapter to Hotels. Removing their set top box wire and attaching.

When Nokia N8 was released ~2008, it use to come with HDMI adapter to mirror on TV and to me that use to feel really cool. *I miss that stardom* Since then I thought that mobile companies stopped developing that functionality. Nice video!

[@TechTakeaway]

I didn't know this, that N8 came with an HDMI adapter, interesting. But DeX is so much more than mirroring, the multi tasking feature with upto 6 apps opening at the same time is very cool and allows productivity which is impossible on a mobile device form factor.

[@vishnumenon6541]

Where Samsung Dex shines is in tablet form factor. I use a Tab S6 Lite (2022) which has Dex support and that has significantly balanced my reliance on my bulky Acer Nitro. The only time I use my laptop is when gaming or heavy browsing. Rest all is singlehandedly managed by Dex 😃

[@Flash363]

Awesome video! I've been using Dex since I first got my S20 and it works awesome for me on my new S22. I mainly use it for playing Fortnite Mobile but have used it for browsing and many other projects as well, it is a very underrated Samsung feature which needs some proper marketing! I'm currently using a 4K adapter USB-C - HDMI, BT keyboard and mouse plugged in to it, and a Samsung M5 Monitor, works so well together. You have a new subscriber in me, keep up the great quality!

Hi Phillip. Glad you enjoyed it. Apple is more interested in selling a Mac to us than letting iPhone become a Mac or pc. And I think if they implement something like this now, then it will happen for iPad first, as iPad has the same M1 chip powering it.

[@philliplanos]

I've been using DeX mode on the Tab S8. It's okay, but if Apple added it to the iPad it would be better by default. Apps wise and overall workload thanks to ios's perfectly tuned experience out of the box. OneUI isn't there yet.

[@TechTakeaway]

True! Hopefully, in WWDC this year, there are some overlapping apps between Mac and IPad OS. Both iPad pro and IPad Air now have m1 chip in it. So it might actually happen this year.

Look forward to your awesome videos.

[@DaverZ]

You can actually do some fairly heavy video editing right on the phone with LumaFusion, KineMaster, or PowerDirector. LumaFusion is arguably the best one and it's actually optimized for DeX. With all due respect, please don't repeat the classic mistake that many others make by thinking "it's just a phone". The phone is very powerful, about as powerful as a midrange laptop with premium integrated graphics. You shouldn't need any assistance from the cloud unless you're doing very heavy stuff.

Can I install Capcut desktop on Dex?

[@jonintrovertedpotato3866]

I wanted to ask about docking stations. If you use one - Aren't you worried about overcharging the battery/shortening its life? Since it's charging constantly. Or about connecting your phone to an external monitor (on daily basis). I found no workaround for this issue saldy and want to use an external monitor that has OLED touchscreen. Couldn't find anything that had a battery (monitors with batteries), OLED and a price that is not something bad completely. I was thinking about Magedok 13,3 fullhd OLED touchscreen. Close enough to Asus zenscreen OLED 13,3 (can't get the later in my country for a long time from now still). I have some questions, maybe you can help. 1. Firstly, Does plugging the power source (to the monitor) stop phone battery drainage? Does it even slow it? I watched reviews, but all they say is that plugging the monitor I can just boost the brightness. So I'm worried it would still consume my phone's battery even when I connect my monitor to energy source (using it's charger). 2. Secondly, if instead the phone is ALSO CHARGED when monitor uses its own charger - Is there any way for me to stop charging my phone when it's not needed? Having the phone charging constantly is very destructive for the battery in smartphones (I had one exploding in the past from being charged too often). 3. If it's not possible to stop charging the phone (when monitor is charging with its own charger) - Can I disconnect the charger from monitor and run the monitor using my phone only (with my phone's battery as the only energy source)? Then I could simply drain the battery to the moment where charging is okay once more (and connect monitor to its charger again). 4. Here I'm worried that 4k OLED could have a bigger energy consumption and won't run with my phone without plugging the monitor into its charger, as I'm interested in either their fullhd or 4k option (I use it pretty close to my face and do very detilaed work so even with small screen it still matters to me). To make your task easier - My phone is Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. It has battery 4500 mAh (if this info helps you with anything).

Hi Chris, the monitor power will never charge your phone in Dex mode. If you are using a USB C adapter and it has a power input then you can use that to continuously power your phone.

Hi Guido, what a fabulous use case for Dex. Yes certainly by connecting Samsung tablet to external display you will be able to do that. Hopefully your monitor has HDMI input, as Dex will only get activated when it is on HDMI connector. And as Tablet will have bluetooth built-in you will be able to connect any extensions like keyboard, bluetooth speakers etc.

@@TechTakeaway Thanks for the fast respons. In the manual i find the following: inputs: VGA/DVI/HDM. So it says HDMI. However the cable harness of the device (brand unknown since its a custom HMI interface) comes with an VGA and USB wire and some other old-school video/audio wires. Now there are adapters for VGA/USB to USB C or HDMI but the question is: will it work?😅

[@TechTakeaway]

Wow that's a tough one, I will have to test it out on some kind of that adapter to test. Could you share the name of the exact monitor?

[@guidohiemstra9357]

@@TechTakeaway That’s the strange thing, there is no manufacture on the device and the manual other than type: ‘FX 8” high brighteness monitor’ but i cant find anything. But if i connect a Samsung DeX device to the Windows PC it might work.

[@TechTakeaway]

Yes, you are right. With the Dex app for windows it will certainly work. All the best, if it does work then do DM me on twitter and share a pic, will love to see. techtakeaway_tw

How do you get Samsung DEX to work wirelessly on non-Smart TV?

[@johnwest5008]

You can use a casting device like chromecast roku etc. if you have hdmi connections

If someone uses this feature, can you tell me if the phone overheats a lot please??

So sweet of you Kalani to leave this message. It is a start, just since 7 months. And I am still learning, so hopefully metrics and all will do better after few more months. Right now I am just glad to recieve messages like this 😊

[@gravity_armwrestler]

Btw does something like Dex also available for iPhones? 🤔

[@TechTakeaway]

Hi Sahil, no, not at all !! That's the fun, and Samsung seems to be underplaying this so much.
