[@janstergaard703]

Just wow, all questions answered and a good complete test for us to find out where to go and whats not. Thanks a lot!

[@Master0119]

Dude this is fantastic! Even better than most of the other tech guys I watch on KZbin. Well done!

[@TechWithBrett]

Thanks man! Still a work in progress but getting there. Here is my most movie center video I think you might like, especially the second half: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zme0i2ppochgbdU

[@MadLadCustoms]

Great video, really clarified the steps involved for a good experience. Thank you!

[@paulsimon9254]

In case it helps anyone else i have bought the following adaptor and it works perfectly with the Note 9 for Dex and is a great option. Im from the UK but you can probably find it worldwide. The device also has power input and card readers too aswell as 2 USB ports and obviously the hdmi. HDMI also takes sound from the device to the TV as I use it for watching for watching videos sometimes too. I have not tested how many apps i can open at once but i think that is limitted by the fact you use the phone alone or the official DEX pad as the samsung dex pad has a processor in it i believe and the other devices rely on the phones processor. Also i was under the impression that the note 9 was different to previous phones in that it can run dex a lot better with no need for the dex pad so i think the note 9 can open more than 5 apps without the pad but maybe others cant. But you can prob work that out for sure with a quick google search. Anyway here is the link. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DC52RX6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8rhUBbBJKXCXB

[@geekatari4391]

Exactly addressed all my questions regarding what is better to use for Samsung Dex. Thanks a lot for your work.

[@BreakingElegance]

i love your setup there bud very nice :-)

[@tulisanes]

this is actually very helpful video - i am considering making my Samsung S9+ into a browsing "PC" when i get home. it would be better if you create an update video for every iteration of the dex - better if you can include the original dex

[@mzagotti21]

I have the Bbing adapter for my Note8 and it works fine. I have not tried to use more than 5 apps with it but can tell you DeX does work when plugged into an AC adapter. I did have an issue with an adapter but Bbing took care of it pretty quick.

[@robertd1965]

Thanks for doing this video dude. Helpful.

[@brianmsahin]

Excellent! Good information, thanks a lot. I'm hearing that One UI when it arrives on S9 plus a cable connection for Dex will be available generally. Not sure about S8 or Note8 though.

[@Blickyballistics]

Brian M does it work for TV's

[@garethstroud5586]

I've ordered basic USB c to hdmi with Bluetooth accessories but if I feel the need for external devices (I'd only really use USB) i will certainly look into some of these

[@hotord205]

thanks this is a great review and also very informative thank Brett👍👍✌️

[@High.on.Life_DnB]

Liked the video! Very informative. So the only real difference between a good dongle and the dex pad is that the dex pad can open more apps and supports fast charging? What about tabs in chrome, are they limited? I'm guessing it's because with the fan in the Dex Pad the phone can manage higher loads without overheating?

[@flicka25]

I think I like the dock....easy to use and has ports. By the time I get the 10 who knows what Samsung will come up with. We should get an idea in a few months when the new S weries will be launched. Great video

[@TechWithBrett]

You never know what could happen! Thanks.

[@ansontran8378]

Hi brett. Tks for your videos, its help me alot. But may u give me favor? I need to know that how many device ( like mouse, keyboard, rj45 connect) can connect and work well while you connect the note 9 with azdome hub ( 12 in 1 hub )?

[@Bad-Squishy]

I was a dedicated Windows 10 Mobile user so I had a Lumia 950XL and the display dock. The S9 works amazingly with my display dock. One cable gives me HDMI, Display port, 3 usb A ports, and usb C for charging.

[@ThangDuongBaopage]

Thanks you, very detail and useful information.

[@mayann0-0]

Trying to find a good one for a decent price for my Note 8. Looks like I'll be getting the EazyAcc! Awesome review!

[@wallybootsma2494]

Unable to tell from this excellent review whether the DeX station or DeX Pad would function with my cell encased in a shell or folio. Also, is charging with the station or pad through the USB-c or wireless induction?

[@definitehotshotwill]

Thanks for the video. Can u please tell me wich adapter charges faster while plugged in mirroring through hdmi?

[@chinyaa.]

Thank i was finding this video Helpful 💕

[@mkjol1]

Hey Brett, the Galaxt S8 can use Dex without the pad, but is there any limit to the amount of opened apps when you use the adapter?

[@jamjr1972]

top tier review thanks!

[@thefullshilling742]

What if you just want "Screen Mirroring' not the whole Dex facility, (to run a Sports TV app), does it matter much which cable you use? I see we have options of cable direct or Adapter plus cable . Happy Christmas Day from England and thanx for the vid Brett!

[@peppi0304]

A list at the end would have been cool :)

[@ruffledfeathers6784]

You omited S8 and that was the only reason I was watching....

[@viniciuslimasantos7034]

I was about to get one of these cheaper options but I guess I'll stick to Dex Pad to avoid any issue.

[@danilodequeiroz9520]

You should have told us which max resolution they were capable of delivery, anyway it was a great video

[@TheDementation]

I would have liked to see thicker rugged cases and how well they fit.

[@TampaTec]

Cool, good job. Liked 👍

After Pie Beta version update we can use Integrated DeX on S9 plus with out DeX station:)

Great video, I want to see if DeX pad ( for note 9) work in note 8.

[@maxchadwick5718]

Cheers very useful. Looking for a hub for my Note 10+, shows you have to be aware of what these hubs can or can't do, such as charging etc. 👍

[@sjbohag9476]

What about galaxy A32?

[@scottparat]

Great vid and to the point ...thanks! Wonder if you could clear something up for me. I have a s9 plus and want to use it to shoot video tutorials of how to use certain machines and tools. I have gantry and everything set up, I can shoot the video but the screen is too small for me to see details to adjust the camera. Can I shoot video with the s9 plus and send it wirelessly and/or cable to the monitor..... monitor has hdmi port and how would I do that? What cable or apps would I need? Oh, I would really like to shoot in landscape and highest resolution. Really appreciate any help you might have!

[@jrock51511]

Okay tech with brett.. love the video. I'm out of town. I went and bought a random USB c to hdmi to screen mirror with my note 9.. I notice screen flickering occasionally.. any feedback of this? Quality of cable??

[@jrock51511]

It did it on DeX and screen mirroring.. a flicker every 20 seconds. And while streaming.

[@milner267]

Good day, thanks for the video. At around 8:53 you said "let's plug it into power and let's see if it'll work, and it did".... What exactly did you mean by let's plug it into power? I am a bit confused

[@asicdathens]

I plugged my S9+ to a monitor with type-C input and DeX works. I also used a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. The phone was also charging from the monitor.

[@Necromancer189]

Efstathios Dimopoulos Do you know how I can attach a gamepad? All ports and bluetooth seems to be covered

[@Necromancer189]

FYI it's an usb one

[@moresomoze]

@@Necromancer189 not if you're only using a USB c to hdmi adapter. A usb c hub is required to use a wired controller.

[@pietrosupremo7169]

Hi. What dongle brand/model did you use? Thanks.

[@TheMatixY]

@@pietrosupremo7169 i bought smsung dex station for around 25 bucks and it works perfectly with ps4 controller (wiraless connection) and a cable mouse and keyboard

[@richardshipe4993]

My hootoo usbc adapter works with DeX. The only limiting issue I've come across is not being able to use 1440p resolution. I'm sure the hootoo adapter itself is the culprit behind the resolution limitation as it only supports 4k at 30fps.

[@dannysmith6035]

Can't wait to try the hookup.

[@the3piggies873]

I use tha Apple usb c multiport dongle :) Works fine on my Note 9. can do what the standard dex dock does.

[@holamaster4175]

Me too but mines, just goes 25 fps!!!

[@themastersvoice8636]

Thank you sir for guiding. But I have query . 1) will such a connection drain the battery of the mobile? 2) which brands of USB C hubs are good? Thank you for helping.

[@papamrk1343]

Just jumped onboard with the NOTE 9 from an S7EDGE. I was a huge fan of SIDESYNC which allowed be to view not only my PHONE screen but my PC DESKTOP simultaneously. Will DEX allow me to do this. Also, I know that there is SAMSUNG FLOW but I am running into BLUETOOTH issues with my PC. Looks like DEX allows for much more productivity... Thoughts?

[@jeromeframent8057]

Merci beaucoup, very useful 👍

[@MOTOMENTOR]

Thanks for the info

[@rc7016]

Is there similar functionality with a Samsung Tab S5E? Would be helpful to see similar testing with samsung tablets that have USB-C

[@Areyouben57]

I purchased the bbing and it is working on my Note 9. Wished I waited, would of bought the one with ethernet. Great video.

[@TechWithBrett]

Has the bbing been working fine for you?

[@Areyouben57]

Tech With Brett yes. Had it for over a week and been using it every day. Dex and mirroring.

[@rortiz77]

I have an HP LaserJet P1006, can I connect that to the Samsung Dex Pad and print from my Samsung Note 10+?

[@AIMIWA95]

Anyone remember that laptop dock concept for the razer phone where it slots in place and basically becomes the laptops trackpad? This surely has to come out soon for Samsung devices. It would make using your phone as your only computer a real possibility if you could just drop it in a laptop dock on the go, and onto a standard dock when you’re home at your desk.

[@TwinerJack]

Hey Brett, with Note 9 plugged to oryginal Samsung Dex, you can use other USB ports for mouse and keyboard? any posibility to check how many fps do you get on 4k screen? i had 30fps on some cheap docking station but i wonder if its not a cable's fault

[@eulondon]

Cool you should do something similar with xbox gamepass streaming xcloud. I'm curious to see if a wired connection without wifi would improve. Plus I could choose which one to buy.

[@bt1850]

Hello Brett. Thank you for your video. As some applications only work on portrait mode, I would like to know if you can use the Samsung Dex device in screen mirroring mode AND landscape instead of portrait? All examples I've seen on internet are in portrait mode but landscape mode would be great (for the videos for example). And still with Samsung dex device does the sound comes from the phone or from the TV? Thank you!

[@giorgiop9535]

Nice video! Any idea if using an official DeX Pad with a note 9 through an usb c extension cable will work without app limitations? I have a bulky phone case that wouldn't fit the DeX pad directly. Thanks

[@TechWithBrett]

All 3rd party adapters limit opening only 5 apps.

[@giorgiop9535]

@@TechWithBrett thanks, but that doesn't quite answer the question. I intend to use the original Dex pad, but connect it to the phone using a USB C to USB C extension (female / male) , since my case is too thick to fit directly onto the pad.

[@krazeoneski-9188]

Do you think it's worth paying extra for the samsung one or a third party one should do the trick?

[@fordawin7811]

The link in the description for the DeX pad doesn't have the note 9 listed but by the video it obviously works right?

[@thekhairimamat]

10:19 - May I know whether this type of cable can work with S8?

[@cheesecake9539]

Ofc It will work

[@Vincent_Preston]

I bought a UGREEN bar for $20 CAD. Worked perfectly for what I needed, which was getting data from a completely smashed phone. Just had to use a mouse and keyboard.

[@squasherpunk]

Hey Bret, do you know if Dex works with mouse and keyboard that have a dongle, i.e. wireless instead of Bluetooth.

[@darlansouzacorretor]

Can you open the camera end record a video with this cable? Wathing on Tv for exemplo while recording??

[@momowas]

What is with phones of the Galaxy A series or any other midrange smartphones? Do they support mirroring over these adapters, too? Can't find any informations about it.

[@408primo1]

Do you know if the hdmi to c adaptor would work on the samsung a 50

[@ADIHD]

There's one more important question left unanswered, does any of the third party hubs support 2k or 4k resolution? and can any of them fast charge the phone? or at least charge it at an acceptable rate? I've been trying to find one hub that supports a reasonable charge rate and support at least 2k myself for the note9, no luck until now.

[@ashrafulhaquemanna]

Hi Thanks for this Video... Love it! Im looking for an adaptor which enables the Touchscreen of my Portable monitor when I connect Galaxy Note 9. Is there such a thing? Btw, other newer phones already have this functions such as Huawei P30 pro as the portable monitor really acts like a Huawei Tablet after connecting the USB TypeC on the monitor, but for Samsung Note 9, It's not happening. I just love my Note 9 and Im gonna hold on it for another year or so....

[@krayaxd8885]

You don't need an adapter for that as HDMI only sends/receives video signals and no space for touch inputs. If the monitor's touch function doesn't work with USB type C then the phone should be the problem, or the software. Try updating your phone

[@philipperostin]
