Samsung DeX: The Hidden Gem of Samsung Devices

[@Asdgbnnnjhgdscbgre]

I replaced my PC with a tab s8+ a couple years ago and it's still going strong. Easily replaced my other computers because of dex

[@AndroidDigest]

That's awesome. It helps so much to have that extra interface

[@bikecrazy001]

How do you get audio out.?

[@alex1462]

​@bikecrazy001 audio works just like it does natively. i typically output audio to my bluetooth speakers, but I have also used my monitor's built in speaker and my tab's built in speakers. if you use a usbc hub with the monitor, i bet you could also get audio out on a wired audio device.

[@erwinmosozi8335]

It’s actually possible to use a windows or linux emulator on adroid. It may require a reasonable amount of ram though

[@Samsung_Samuel]

Winlator works well.

[@LastNameTom]

I remember over a decade ago there was a tablet that had a docking spot on the top back where you'd put your phone. It was essentially this but in a tablet form. Cool idea.

[@AndroidDigest]

For sure

Motorola

[@storm8216]

Razer too.. I really crave those things but.. they can't be compatible with all phones so-

[@Metal_seer]

I plan to use a new sealed Samsung Tab S9U I just bought for $780 (plus shipping and taxes) in an Ebay auction and a Dexnor keyboard case with the Tab S9+ and S24U I already have to do some DEX work -- once I learn how. I have a 15 inch Lenovo Windows laptop for when and if I must use Windows. I looked atmonitors but wanted 4K which gets about as expensive as my $854 Tab S9U. Thanks for the review.

[@AndroidDigest]

Sounds like a good plan!

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

Awesome video as usual. OMG! That trackpad on the right side is absolutly fantastic. Why don't all laptops have that? So much better than in fron of the keyboard. It is always in the way and you can get mis clicks, etc.

[@AndroidDigest]

Yeah I really do like having it on the side. This trackpad isn't the best though compared to some others I've used. But great placement. It does leave less room at the bottom of the keyboard deck for your palms (along with the wireless charging taking up space). So there's pros and cons. This isn't a review though. Just really showing it off. It's a really nice addition especially since you can get it for like $350 with the promo code. But it's not perfect, but really cool to add to the Samsung lineup

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

I mostly pluck my Galaxy tab into my ultrawide monitor. That's usually how I take advantage of it. Sometimes I'll just do screen mirroring if there's a compatibility issue.

[@AndroidDigest]

Yeah it's great if you just have a monitor on your desk. That's what I often do

[@Samsonite775]

Nice device. That's game changing for some people.

[@AndroidDigest]

It's not for everyone. But it's pretty cool!

[@jonahplayz7151]

Great vid!

[@AndroidDigest]

Thanks so much. It means a ton

[@philipperostin]

Even though you are totally right with DEX beeing so great, if you have a Samsung PC (With windows phone), a Samsung tablet and phone, by using Mutli Control between the 3, Dex becomes redundant.

[@Unan1mouz]

Oh, I have an idea! Can you make a video comparing between Samsung DeX and Chrome OS? What are the key differences between them in terms of usage and interface? I think Android with a Desktop Mode built-in can easily be an alternative to Chrome OS if they don't need a desktop-class web browser and Linux apps support.

[@Stamatos]

I REALLY wish DEX was on the flip series.

[@QuintonjChambers]

People sleep on Dex but it is an awesome concept. I suspect though that since Samsung also sells laptops they may never fully unleash it for fear that thier tablets sales would eat into their laptop sales kinda how apple does with the Ipad pros

[@AndroidDigest]

For real! DeX is amazing

[@AndroidDigest]

If you do decide to buy the lapdock (link in the description) do NOT FORGET to use that promo code at check out. I think one person forgot 😂 but it literally gets you $60 off.

[@bikecrazy001]

When I connect my s9 ultra or zfold5 via usb c to a hub with hdmi out , the tablet or phone says external display connected but nothing comes on the external display.. Any ideas?

[@Johnsouthshore]

Why wont my bluetooth logitech keyboard stay connected to my s9ultra. Drives me crazy. I reinstall it every time i need it

[@MrPoliarinis]

400usd ? 🤣 makes no sense. 250usd /eur is max what it's worth ( I mean 15' model)

[@AndroidDigest]

$60 off bro. It's about $350. Portable monitor. Keyboard, touchpad, sd card slot and ports. Again this was sponsored (I'll give a full detailed thoughts of the Lapdock in another video) but it's not terrible!

[@casseycastro1985]

Drake is that you?

[@AndroidDigest]

Thank you 😂. I have been called the white drake

[@casseycastro1985]

@@AndroidDigest so you rap bro? Haha

[@লারেলাপ্পা-ষ৪ল]

why man why?????????? why dont you just buy and use laptop ? why you need to buy a lapdock to connect phone and then use the minimal amount of productivity compare to a laptop. why man? just buy a thin laptop

[@NONAME-nu7js]

Why not?

[@storm8216]

@@NONAME-nu7js Exactly, like.. some of the new phones r powerful, and you have the storage and everything right on the phone :)

[@AndroidDigest]

A lot of reasons. For one, every time you upgrade your phone, you lapdock will get more and more powerful. Which can cut out the need to replace a laptop every year. Secondly, All of the files and footage from your phone, all the history from your phone, everything you do on a daily basis on your phone, it transfers right to the lapdock. So if you record video, it already shows up. No need to transfer files. After the coupon code, you'll probably pay about $350 or so for this. The laptops with that price are pretty terrible anyway. Some of them might not even have a 1080p screen and they're not going to be powerful enough to run crazy good Windows applications anyway. Why not just get a really good accessory for your phone that you could use for a Nintendo switch, or other devices? And again some people just prefer Android. There's a lot of reasons to get it. Or to get other alternatives
