This is definitely the future of computing. Using a phone as a desktop. Very neat ! Would be enough for the vast majority of users who only use their pc for mail, youtube, banking and light gaming.

[@jamesorrell7462]

@Your MOVE There’s no point in doing that. The cool thing about turning your android phone into a desktop is that you can have on device for everything. You can take it outside and use it as a phone but then bring it home, plug it into the dock and then you have a very decent desktop PC. I could even imagine that there are some docking stations out there where you could have it as a laptop with the phone sitting in a space for the trackpad. I reckon this could really be the future of computing where you only need one device to do 99% of your work. I mean, unless you’re doing very strenuous processing or gaming, phones are more than powerful for pretty much every daily task that the average person is going to get up to

[@markdavenportjr5129]

YEP those office companies better get ready for this transition to android desktops. :)

[@JackJack-xj8ei]

@@jamesorrell7462 I agree - this is the future. Small devices become both more powerful and more energy efficient - so in few years we could have a really monster PC that doesn't get that hot. And you take it everywhere with you, so that would be really convenient. Just need a monitor/keyboard/mouse and a dock for your phone, and can play and work on your system anywhere. BUT I think android (or ios) is not the best operating system for that. They are way too limitting. Those are really "mobile" operating systems, they might work fine for on-the-go but fail epicly when trying to use it as desktop. My hopes lie within projects like postmarketos, ubports, pinephone and similar, that try to give you full PC/desktop experience on small device. I think that in few years it will mature enough to be perfectly usable.

[@jamesorrell7462]

@@JackJack-xj8ei I think the target for things like Dex and whatever Apple have now brought out is Chromebook owners. Android and iOS are more equivalent to that than other desktop OS. So I'm assuming that's the marker they're going after. Why buy a Chromebook if your phone can do everything it does?

[@MrNangu]

@@jamesorrell7462 Motorola did just that in 2011 with the Motorola Atrix. They even had a laptop-like dock so you could "insert" the smartphone and experience a sort of desktop linux OS. I remember thinking that will be the future back then, but for some reason (most probably poor performance and/or compatability ) it didn't attract people and the idea was under developed until Samsung's Dex. Seems like now it's getting some serious attention from manufacturers, which is good.

[@slick6227]

Oh thats going to take at least a century and would need some heavy investment from laptop apps to get ported over to the Android/ios environment Not that its Impossible, but that It would take people willing to move from laptops and the freedom those machines give you in terms of operating systems and softwares, and It would take the actual phones being Just as powerfull as laptops, and i dont think this will be even possible due to the sheer ammount of size a laptop has vs a phone, you can allways fit more tech in bigger hardware.

[@HunterTracks]

​@@slick6227 A lot of desktop apps already exist on mobile in one form or the other, and porting the rest would certainly take less than a century. Phones don't need to be "just as powerful as laptops", they only need to be powerful enough to fulfill the needs of most laptop users, and, honestly? We're pretty much there already, I personally struggle to think of anything I actually need a laptop for (outside of my work, but that's because I develop software for a living). So yeah, laptops may be the next piece of tech that phones drive to near obsoletion, like they did with digital cameras, watches, or, arguably, portable game consoles (Steam Deck and Switch still thrive, of course, but I'd argue that SD isn't really a console and Switch's sole saving grace is the strength of its exclusives).

[@ccallaghan84]

It's neat that it has a built in usb switch and phone stand, but I've got a very simple question that tends to get glossed over - Does it support more than 1080p on DeX mode? Sounds simple enough, right? It is until you realize that Samsung likes to play games with what hubs support what resolutions - typically their branded hubs enable higher resolutions. This, combined with the intentional lack of battery charging cap option on the phone line ultimately means I don't bother with DeX anymore. I'm all for what it COULD be, but until they stop dinking around with artificial limitations, I'm good. Still a neat dock if it works.

[@felipenreyes5208]

I have to say it's good. Though 1st too many cables. The phone has Dexs already so you don't need the dock only type c to hdmi cable will do. 2nd baseus has a docking station that you just plug the phone into the dock and no need for cables apart from the one to the monitor. Though I do like this standing dock. Great review 👍

Hello. Aren't you worried about overcharging the battery/shortening its life? Since it's charging constantly. 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! Don't you need power on the dock station to activate Dex mode? Normally when I use with a different adaptor, it turns into dex with power and only mirror without power. Thanks

[@Dtr146]

i believe it needs to be powered for dex to run properly

[@BlackCanvasAudio]

I really NEED this! I don't know for what but I NEED IT! lol

[@Dtr146]

[@onedeadsaint]

is there a way to get mouse support without those little dongles? basically bluetooth mouse like a bluetooth keyboard?

[@Revenant483]

If it is a normal Android phone with Bluetooth You can pair a keyboard / mouse / XBone One controller to the Phone.
