@@bankhead1 - It sounds like you need a thicker skin yourself. The fact that you came on here posting a comment complaining about a deleted comment shows how sensitive you are. KZbinrs can moderate their comment section. That's a fact. Why do you take this so personally??!

Thanks so much,you are a 🌟

Can't wait for a wireless Dex more,will surely turn the tables for good

[@re_tomori549]

How can you play Netflix Content in Dex? For me it says it can't show the content because it's block.

[@brandonly27]

That's fine, but even with developer options turned on, Netflix doesn't fill the screen. Developer options does nothing.

Thank you for this! This is by far the most informative video on Dex right now. Great value add to the user experience

[@josh3326]

I use Dex most of the time. It has replaced a desktop for most of what I do. I use an iPad Pro for my video editing, but the PowerDirector on Dex can do the job for most people. Just a little lag was all I experienced. I’ve showed quite a few people Dex and some have given up their computers. Dex works best with a lot of RAM though

[@wlad.hermann]

Hey just a tip, you can log in into your KZbin account on your cellphone (mobile version of the desktop) and then when you turn on youtube on Dex, it'll be logged in

[@diegopazosprados]

I have no issues logging on youtube and gmail account on the samsung internet browser

[@T3CHGY007]

dex is a great option for people on the go!

[@rohannokiachambers9369]

Yes but to carry so many apparatus would be best with a laptop or Tab S6

[@AnointedFlow]

Just started using it. It's great! Only big draw back right now is if you plug it into a monitor you have to have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

[@JB23669]

I'm so happy to see how much your channel has grown... Your video about the note 9 is the exact reason I ended up switching from iPhone to Samsung keep up the good work Thao!!

[@420Pikachu]

This channel and a few other Dex content centered channels have helped me learn so much about the phone's capability. Thanks for making this video! Its a great resource for tips.

[@samgrange3671]

Thao: "nothings going to give ou the speed of a bluetooth mouse" wired mice:

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

True... but who's going to connect a wired mouse to their phone? lol

[@teelim]

Tried Samsung's browser after watching this video and I have to agree. It makes better use of the high res display than most other browsers. Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SD-tj5dh]

I'll be starting to make videos of my own in the near future. I've picked up a very basic setup to run dex. I even picked up a monitor that was being thrown out for an office upgrade to display it, along with a USB keyboard and mouse (I'll go bluetooth if I find its worth spending more money) I struggled to be productive at home sitting on my bed or on the sofa, and I cannot use a company aptop for personal use. So a desk and a home dex setup will make my life a heck of a lot easier.

[@shimeih2287]

Thanks for the upload Thao. Was considering to order a portable monitor and this just pushed me to get it for my Samsung.

[@knoxblok]

Thx Thao. Especially breaking down the how to with the keyboard functions

[@ajajala5081]

Thao we love you . Why wouldn't we Almost every reviewer : Dex is not practical but a one work in progress Thao :Dex is really cool , and this is how you can make the best out of it . In an age were people let apple dictate the market , I applaud you for this.

I'm gutted I've just brought the z flip and it doesn't work on my DeX station I will have to carry on using my note 8 till Samsung brings out a software for the z flip that's if there going too such a expensive phone and not to have DeX on it .Thanks for another great video 👍

[@ChadChristian]

This happened with the Galaxy Fold too.

[@chika4275]

Great video however you can use Samsung internet with your Google accounts! I use it with all my accounts. I think you may have add blockers installed which will no longer give you access unless you disable them.

I love how you organize everything in the descriptions blocks and for that I'm subscriber

[@gaming_monster1.0-18]

I got dex a couple days ago and I didn't even know it had this feature till i read my notifications (i got the older one with and HDMI plug) but since i found this out id love to work on my writing with google docs. My handwriting is booty and i use a laptop thats a year older than me. This is gonna help with my hobby a lot

[@eanappi]

Your videos are just amazing.

[@ArquelCudia_xAMTCx]

I love using Samsung Dex because when I plug it to my gaming laptop or computer, I can drag my videos to the desktop and done

[@gogo12able]

It's been years for me since I don't use laptop am not a professional , sonindonverybsime things and a smartphone is enough, this dex stuff is great 👌 for me and sticking to it and hopefully they keep innovative stuff coming

[@bluesmoke9662]

So, a little heads up; go to the mirror option if you're only using DeX for KZbin or Netflix. With a bluetooth mouse, you're basically set. With my xbox controller, I even play(some) video games this way

[@oogiedragonus]

As a contender for portable monitors, check out the Nexdock 2: A shell that looks like a laptop but givng you the ability to connect your samsung and other devices.

[@jbiv1971]

I preordered the S20 Ultra and am looking forward to using Dex. Thanks for the tips! 👍

[@nickthaskater]

Thank you for being one of only a handful to mention enabling Developer Mode. It makes SeX function as it should've from the get-go. Worth noting that OneUI 2.1 has brought window snapping so dragging a window to the left or right edge of the screen will dock it on that half accordingly, the same as meta+arrow key. 100% agreed on Samsung Internet as the best desktop experience for browsing in DeX. Regarding the issue of opening in app, clear the default apps and you'll get the option to open links in browser rather than in another app. As for your mention of not being able to sign into your Google account, that's simply not true. I'm not sure what your issue was, but that's not normal behavior. I use web Gmail and KZbin regularly with my Google account in Samsung Internet.

[@bradavon]

Great tip about the HDMI cable for hotel rooms. I have used a cable from a laptop to a TV but being able to do it with your phone would be super handy. It would also force you not to look at your phone when watching a movie too ha.

[@ivanpostnikov5517]

[@kimvangvideomarketerbangko3265]

You saved me! I replaced my broken PC with a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus (the most advanced thing I do is KZbin) and there was no J or K pressing to skip around in videos in neither Chrome nor the KZbin app! Switched to the Samsung Browser and everything is like on a computer. Thanks!

[@kelvinotieno4381]

There are so many smartphone makers nowadays but there are also so many reasons to ignore all of them and just go for Samsung. So so many features that a lot of people don't know about. Love your videos. Would also love to know how you pronounce your second name😊😊

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

I'm starting to use DeX more with my portable monitor. I do a lot of translation work (Korean, Japanese), and there are a ton of useful Android apps for this.

[@Picsabaszo12]

In Samsung's browser you can sign in to KZbin and can see your subscriptions, and ctrl+mosue scrolling works like in a pc browser, so you don't need to preset the size for every webpage. I also like this browser cause it's able to work well in a full dark mode, for every website.

[@lizzam]

Hi Thao, 1) I couldn't find the additional info on the full screen tip. i enabled developer toolbar, but is there any additional setting i need to do? 2) apart from the portable screen, a foldable keyboard+trackpad is a godsend when travelling. 3) Logitech has some multi-device keyboard and mice combo that would enable fast switching between devices

[@markfinlay422]

Some good tips, the keyboard shortcuts are very useful. I've used DeX a lot over the last year and now have the Nexdock 2. I almost never bother with my Windows machine. As for browsers, check out Yandex Browser. It allows you to always open the desktop site and sign into your Google account.

[@GeetMadan]

The worst thing imo is the inability to change the aspect ratio and resolution. Great video btw

How can I use my phone as the track pad when using Samsung DeX??

[@sonofage]

The Samsung browser is quite good now too. Opera to me is slightly better in terms for Samsung dex , not mobile . I prefer brave browser for that

[@tyronekim3506]

"DeX is not a laptop or a desktop." You are right about that. You show a lot of enthusiasm but not much on the down side of DeX. DeX tries to emulate a PC environment but doesn't do it well. DeX is cumbersome to use. It is not a good productivity tool but if your interest is watching entertainment shows, I think there are other options. I have DeX on my tablet and tried to use it as if it was a PC and was disappointed and had to disable it.

[@nikotakai8796]

I pretty sure you can sign into google on the Samsung Internet Browser. Atleast on the Mobile version of it.

[@thao]

You're right. Switching to mobile view allows me to sign in!

[@nikotakai8796]

@@thao Ah, nice information.

[@sped6954]

I was going to mention that too. I saw that part in the video and i was like... WTH? I've been signing in to my Google account on the Samsung browser for years. Like back when i got my first Samsung phone around 2010 or 2011-ish, the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I had several other Androids before that, mostly HTCs starting with the very first Android ever, the HTC G1, but that was my first Samsung phone of any kind. I've had a few others along the way, but since then I've been using mostly Samsung Androids going back and forth between the S and Note lines. So it tuurns out that I was only able to stay logged in to Google on the Samsung native browser was because i was viewing it in mobile mode. It sounds like if I had tried to use the desktop view I would have had all kinds of problems. As it is, Im having trouble getting into Dev options for DeX. I opened up Dev options on the phone as soon as I got it, but why can't i get to that point so i can change the view? I'm new to using DeX at all, I just got my dock in the mail yesterday and I'm still trying to figure things out.

[@SilvioBritto]

When I plug on my s9+ I can activate rotate landscape mode and plugin just my phone and use the full screen without external power, and without Dex. I don't know if this is just a recent update but I found it useless to connect an external cord and use Dex but it is pretty cool that it can do it.

Would've loved to hear more about the other browsers. I'm never gonna switch to a closed-source browser like Samsung's, so how do Chrome and Firefox actually stack up?
