This is one of the features that really doesn't get much market or credit for but it's one of the most powerful ones.

[@Drstrange3000]

Even though I don't really use Dex at all, I still think it is an amazing feature that makes me stick to Samsung just in case. I think all flagship phones and mid-budget ones should adopt this feature. It could be a nice laptop replacement for some people.

You can make Minecraft go fullscreen in dex, the buttons are just hidden/invisible. If you have mouse hover over the top right corner of the Minecraft window (it's not the very top right corner, but slightly down and to the left of the top right corner) you will see a tooltip popup saying "close" then move mouse slightly to the left until it says "maximize", click and it will maximize. Or you can hit Win+up on keyboard. It will even remember this next time you launch, so you only need to do it once. To undo maximize go to the top middle of window, click and hold and drag down, it will show outline of a window mode, release mouse, you will now be back in windowed mode. Or hit Win+down. If you want a walkthrough let me know and I can screen share.

Honestly Samsungs are just top-notch when it comes to desktop capabilities thanks to Dex mode. The CPU and the Integrated GPU are more than enough to handle emulation, low-med end gaming, office tasks, multitasking and etc. which is amazing for a 7.5w TDP CPU! Another thing that you can use windows 11 ARM edition on it as it's fairly optimized for Snapdragons and Mediateks. Man can't wait till they announce stable and optimized ARM windows versions!

[@ericharrison619]

@Carl GundersonPlease enlighten us as to what Motorola has the "better cpu". As of it's release the Gen 2 OC edition in the S23 lineup is the best performing cpu put in an android device. The 4 yrs of updates vs keeping your fingers crossed with Moto is a nice bonus also.

[@marian8757]

@Carl Gunderson ummm... those are improvements. But Dex doesn't really need any improvements, it does what it's supposed to do, and does it very well. And almost all new T v's now have wireless Screen Mirroring, or chromecast, or some type of wireless connection, either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. And talk about multi-tasking, while running Dex, on your TV, you can continue to use your cell phone as a cell phone, like a second device.

Android OS is really the only OS most people need. I'm impressed by the Dual Screen, Foldable, Tablet, Desktop and Console modes offered by Android devices.

[@nickthaskater]

Now if only developers would realize this and develop or port more full desktop grade applications for Android.

[@mattdavis9601]

It's really the only OS Google needs. Chrome OS made sense when it was a super light glorified web browser that made ultra cheap hardware serviceable, but, now they're pushing expensive Chromebooks and the ability to emulate Android runtime to run Android apps in ChromeOS. At this point, if you're emulating Android in ChromeOS, why not just make an Android Book with a Dex inspired UI?

[@EnochGitongaKimathi]

Chrome OS was really Google trying to leverage cloud computing as a solution for devices with limited processing. Mobile processors were not as capable as today to handle all the processing locally. From the transition of Apple from Power PC to Intel x86_64 and finally Apple silicon, compared to Microsoft efforts with a mobile OS and transition to Windows on ARM, it is clear that developers will only be interested in platforms their apps can shine. They don't want to port their apps with limited features, there is no incentive. Outside Apple and Windows OS for PC there hasn't been another platform pro apps can thrive. I'm hoping Qualcomm changes that soon after the acquisition of Nuvia, if they can navigate past the law suit from ARM. The rumored Snapdragon Hamoa SOC that includes upto 12 Oryon CPU cores, looks promising. I think Windows on ARM or Android will finally have an answer for Apple M1.

[@EnochGitongaKimathi]

@No_Name the limitations on the software is by design because smartphones have limited hardware to begin with. As the hardware improves we can hope to get full desktop versions.

It actually works on the S8 and up. The S8 was the first of the Galaxy series that had USB-C. I believe the S9 was the first that worked wirelessly.

[@IreshSenadeera]

They won't market it because it's an old and niche feature. Like you said, Dex came out in 2018 they marketed it back then. Promoting it now, is like promoting the wide angle lens on a new smartphone, it's been here for ages with no major improvements. Most people who'll use it, already knows about it. And it's a very niche feature, general public isn't going to buy a smartphone because it has Dex (most people don't care). So there's not much return in marketing it. But Dex is still alive because of the it's cooperate customers and its tablet lineup (Tab S8/S8+) . They market it extently on the tabs. I've seen it used heavily in business, where most people have a company provided samsung tablet and usb c monitor, atleast here in Australia.

[@marian8757]

I was able to get it to work on my Galaxy S6 with the software update, and a USB to HDMI adapter, years ago. But it was a little laggy back then, it was better on my S9 plus, but now on my S22 ultra, it's just as fast as any computer in my house.

I used Dex on my S8 and it worked great. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but I was able to play Game Pass with no problems. Get the right kind of HUB and app and you can use external hard drive if you need to. I don't use bluetooth but Dex was no problem with a wired keyboard, mouse and game controller. I was also able to watch videos/movies just like a regular computer with no problems. Good luck and have fun. EDIT: Just a quick note to add that you do need to keep checking the temps for your phone battery. It is possible to run Dex and game through the USB C port while simultaneously keeping the phone charged. It may climb in temps. Nothing bad ever happened with mine, but it did reach higher temps while gaming.

Try fortnite as well when testing games.

[@DeathEnducer]

Love DeX so much! My phone usb port died from using it as my only computer. With shadow cloud gaming it was also my 4k 60Hz gaming rig lmao

[@leoariasyt]

1,200 USD for a Galaxy S23 Ultra... That's a 1440p PC Gaming Beast

[@SweatyFeetGirl]

1440p gaming beast lol. a GPU that can run 1440p with high fps in modern games costs 1200$

[@leoariasyt]

@@SweatyFeetGirl With a RX 6800 you can play most games in 1440p at least in High Settings 60+ fps, and costs less then 500 USD.

[@SweatyFeetGirl]

@@leoariasyt 60fps ? is this 2003? 100fps+ at the bare minimum

[@retmania]

First thing first, this is a flagship phone, DEX is free

[@yoshiharatoshiaki3650]

You don't get a phone with that 😂

[@DoritosResidue]

Fun fact about samsung/android. You can stream PPV sporting events virtually all streaming apps and project to a projector without restrictions. I used it for camping and after trying iphone after iphone they all had a restriction prompt for the ppv ufc and all streaming apps that are not apple. I caused a ruckus at the camp ground because so many people gathered around to watch the ufc fight from my projected s22 ultra.

[@ReptilianRichardRamirez]

This will never replace a classic windows gaming PC, they aren't even in the same ballpark, regardless of specs

[@kylebelle246]

Yeah we know buddy. Its meant to replace chromebooks and cheap - mid windows pcs (and does it pretty well i must say). while you can say its lacking some windows apps, the opposite is also true too, in fact windows lacks many more apps that android has. This can play any mobile game which are growing in both quantity and quality. The graphics performance rivals and maybe even beats Intel's shitty integrated graphics.

[@kylebelle246]

So in short yes it wont replace a rtx 4090 pc but for anything else it does quite easily rival and even beat most laptops and pcs average consumers do work on. And i can with 99% certainty say this has way better battery than those laptops too

[@anthonyh2884]

Haha dude it’s a phone with enhanced capabilities which Iphone doesnt! 🙏🏽😬

[@ReptilianRichardRamirez]

@@kylebelle246 sounds like you have one or are planning to get one for this purpose and you're a little upset lmao

[@OGslays]

Dex is actually insanely awesome I forgot I had it until I was on a business trip with my galaxy and laptop and the laptop was getting annoying and remembered the tv in the hotel and my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. My god it saves so much time and weight and items to carry.

[@jonathanbetenbender307]

Wow I didn't realize we've come so far that upscaled ps2 emulation was a thing on phones. I remember running up to I think N64 on a PDA (jailbreaking that thing let me crank the speaker up 3x louder)

[@89jmills]

This is so awesome to me, that your phone can essentially replace your home computer, provided you have the screen and peripherals set up, you just dock and go. Soon we won't even have laptops and desktops, they will be obsolete - we will just dock our phones when we need a workstation. Amazing convenience and money saving.

[@AntiGrieferGames]

I Disagree. No phone can replace the Home computer. Same on Laptops PC's and Laptop's are still cheaper.

[@89jmills]

@AntiGrieferGames currently yeah. I was more referring to the future

[@jordanjackson8873]

@FuckReturnedError the only thing stopping them is storage and space for more powerful components. If they can figure out the storage part, then we'll be close to optimizing AAA games so not that far of a stretch.

[@davidwilhite5046]

Thanks for the link to the USB adapter I went ahead and ordered threw your link!

[@tubag313]

Thanks for the video! Something else I feel should be addressed: You can connect your phone via USB to a given PC setup with dex installed and the PC mouse and keyboard will be passed through to dex.

[@TheHealthLife]

Hi, thanks...does that mean that DEX installed on PC...has access to everything on PC? not sure how secure that is.

[@OpenLogicEFI]

I just noticed you hit a million subs. Congratulations.

[@nicholasgandhi6504]

Use it everyday. With my 4k monitor, mosue, and keyboard its a much better expereince that using a laptop. My favorite feature on Samsung.

[@Emulation_Inflation]

Oh yeah! Dex is the future!! It's so perfect for light weight youtubers. Alot of apps you can take advantage of.

[@ItPutsTheLotionOnItsSkin]

My S23U will arrive in a few days but i totally forgot that DeX was even a thing. Just another thing to look forward to.

[@christabel2003]

Heavy Dex user here. works well on my Samsung S20 FE, interested in the S23

[@ocosmosinfinito]

By the way, if you use Dualshock 4 or Dual Sense you don't need to use a mouse as the trackpad recognizes it as a mouse.

[@ionamygdalon2263]

Nice video ETA Prime ✌️

[@phitfacility4115]

Subbed and also bought a new HDMI adapter you linked. Your channel is dope homes

[@enescakr4203]

I'm watching this with my fold 3 on dex. İt really is a cool feature, love using it !

[@akira3060]

Dex is just getting better and better.

[@MrSec84]

I just got an S23, with a cheap mobile contract here in the UK, have Unlimited Data and I didn't know you could do this. With ID Mobile I'm getting around 500mb/s bandwidth on 5G and 3 bars, so being able to do this is awesome. I'll have to have a play around with DEX. I want to do some music creation, being able to use this as a portable PC to do all of that is awesome.

[@marvinspowers]

Hitting the windows key and the up arrow forces any application to go full screen. I learned that and it changed everything!!

[@7thRonin]

Trick to go full screen with almost all apps. There is logitech keyboard k400 plus. It is a mouse pad keyboard combo but main goal is that it has a physical button to full screan apps(function key). I used it with almost all apps on dex.

[@hiepbenh88]

I have 1 too :) used for all my devices : pc, android box, window tablet, even ipad

[@7thRonin]

@Jarjoobinko did you tried on dex? It didn't work for me, but it was like 1-2 years ago. I'm not sure now. And this special button works also for apps without resize button it just forces to full screen. I am sure alt+ enter will not help in this case.

[@ChrisCJ1969]

Definitely going to get an S23 Ultra and Dex ASAP. Wow!

[@MrM3ch]

Thank you for the video, I'm going to try and use dex for the next few weeks instead of my windows pc! Just slightly off topic, could you tell me where you got your live wallpapers from please? Love them! I'm a long time fan of your channel, just want to say thank you for all your hard work. Warm regards and peace to all.

[@clammyclamms]

I'm pretty sure he's using the wallpaper engine app, at 0:24 you can see it

[@ddyno8665]

Where did you get that tilled background for your phone? Great video. Love the lime!

[@logicalthoughts101]

1:25 Hi ETAPRIME, have you ever tried using a usb wired gamepad with that adapter just to check if it is compatible with emulators on android??

[@Paopao621]

damn thats op, no way ive beem missing out on something amzing like this

[@GlynTaylor]

This connected to a projector would be an ideal way to travel light while also being able to do work

[@ErwinLiao]

omg i was dieing lol " i have stats for nerds on top left " bahahahah

[@flipmode419]

What is the name of the live wallpaper at 2:18?

[@MightBeAPizza]

I have an Tab S8 Ultra that I rarely use as well as an S21 Ultra that has been sitting in a bin drawer for well over a year now. I went on Amazon and bought a curved monitor, keyboard, mouse and mouse madm desk light, surge protector and a few other things for my office for less than $250. My S21 will permanently reside on my desk and will be used for Dex. Hopefully the setup works well enough that I can sell my Tab S8 Ultra and potentially use some of the proceeds for a Pixel Pro Fold.

[@Hi-levels]

If you need to make excels and docs but you don't have a pc with you... Amazing. Also good for watching streaming stuff.

[@Garrettdx1988]

Dex on my Note 8 still works surprisingly well

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

That's cool as hell. What do much power in a tiny package

[@RetroPlus]

What the hell i had no idea this was a thing, this is incredible

[@postmomentaryaffliction0]

Great video, by the way, what live wallpaper are you using? Look cool!

[@_bob_8170]

LG Wing phone has a desktop mode too, I use it with Rokid air media glasses.

[@mattdavis9601]

Every LG flagship (G, V, Velvet, Wing) that was updated to or shipped with Android 10 or newer has LG's "Screen+" desktop mode. Technically it wasn't called "Screen+" until A11, but, the A10 version is mostly identical. I have it on a V35. It's miles better than the stock Android solution.

[@localblackman427]

Always glad to see dex!!!
