Trying Samsung Dex on S23: Is It Any Good?

[@Nba2012g]

DEX is under-advertised. It is the best upgrade to a mobile device 👍

[@hankmiller990]

If it were an Apple feature it would have been advertised on national tv

[@karthiksubramani708]

​​@@hankmiller990Apple is hopeless, only for flex 😩😒 BTW I'm using S23 Ultra the mammoth 🦣💪🏻🔥

[@brightkegbe]

I tell you. Such an amazing feature. Imagine I'm just getting to know about it recently.

[@FlashzingORG]

​@@brightkegbe same I didn't even new dex existed until yesterday 💀

[@ElScottie]

This was originally a Motorola feature back in the day but this looks awesome…

[@classydays43]

Honestly one of Samsung's best and most ingenious features and I'm glad they haven't gotten rid of it.

[@ritwikgossain]

When using dex mode, there is an additional heater feature unlocked. Very useful during winter

[@parischatzigeorgiou43]

One of the major reasons I went to Samsung in the first place . DeX is awesome. It's capable of heavy multitasking and with good lock module multistar you get pass restrictions like you can have as many windows open at the same time and support for resolutions up to 4k at 60hz even for ultra wide monitors

[@WeizChou]

What adapter you use to get 4k 60hz?

[@parischatzigeorgiou43]

@Wei Chou personally I use it on an 34inch 2k monitor the adapter I got offers hdmi 1.4 so it can manage the 3440x1440 at 60hz however you would need hdmi 2.0 + for 4k at 60 I m planning to get one, anker or ugreen.

[@shrikantborde]

Can we do trading lik laptop?

[@harikrishnans9671]

I think this desktop feature has immense potential. Powerful chips like m2 pro/ultra on mobile in future can probably replace desktops and laptops. Just a portable monitor would be enough.

[@Technolobe]

Exactly

[@vishalsharma7288]

It's a good to have feature we can do light tasks but I don't see it as pc replacement or laptop replacement. I am not sure if many common people will use it

[@harikrishnans9671]

@@vishalsharma7288 May be OR may be not. No one during 80s or 90s imagined an era where people carry hand held smart devices and make their life almost depended on it.Who knows the power of future technology.Also light tasks can be scaled up by using powerful chips and well tuned OS/UI as well.

[@milaanpatel4997]

@@harikrishnans9671 We are not reliant on smartphones; we are simply addicted to them. Since the 1980s till date, computers have been used as typical hardware. When performing computationally demanding tasks, even laptops are shunned. Having potential is different than directly being able to challenge the competition. This appears to be an option for those who use computers only for watching KZbin. However, for someone who is doing actual work, this is impractical.

[@moreliquorinmycoffee]

Definitely. But not soon. I do think Samsung is leading the way in digital innovation, things like the Z Fold and the bespoke refiregerator that acts as a photo frame to display your pictures on the fridge door is exactly the direction that the technology should be heading in. And even things like Dex is such a powerful tool that people who work with basic spreadsheets and video and photo editing can thrive only using a phone. Im getting rid of my phone now and getting the S23 Ultra with an external monitor because it does everything I need it to. But when it comes to professional power usage it will be a while before they make a 1 device that can do it all. But I dont think theyll ever need to simply because not everybody needs power tools. But at this stage a flagship Samsung phone is a very powerful productivity tool. Especially the Ultra with the camera.

[@borislavignatov5499]

I discovered this feature accidentally recently when I moved to a new house and wanted to watch something on the TV honestly, won't even need laptops in the next 10 to 15 years probably.

[@discosgirafaspodcast3043]

bro, just got an S23 almost for free on a deal from my wireless carrier and I was going to use it for emulation as I already have a phone, but now that I found out about Dex, I will just end up using it connected to my monitor, mouse and keyboard and use it as a personal computer for gaming and everything else. So freaking cool!

[@ljacobs357]

Not all Android apps are optimized for Dex, but the web based sites work great. I also find Samsung browser better than Chrome when using Dex. Either way, my Samsung S20 has pretty much replaced my laptop. The main issue with Dex is not having a spell checker for many apps.

[@Technolobe]

Yes spell checker would be great

[@owenbevans6062]

Spell checker works on the phone's keyboard. I set the mouse up to scroll down to the phone bellow my monitor and then sellect the correct spelling.

[@TC-yx1qt]

DL Grammarly

[@SwastikRastogi]

I think you can also use the phone as a track pad while in dex mode which is very good.

[@shubhamashish]

Apple never gonna do it anytime...

[@arjunmohandas8870]

Haha without a doubt

[@romenpal-m6f]

This would hurt thier mac sales

[@nightfox2607]

That would make their iPads obsolete

[@xain4822]

They will do it eventually but will show it off like its the first time its done

[@Pathofplenty]

They've learned from the iPod touch which probably impacted iPhone and iPad sales. They will not be in a rush to do it.

[@owenbevans6062]

I use my S22 Ultra as my desktop pc.Been ussing Samsung Dex since my Note 8. It gets better every 1 UI update. If I need need more power for gaming or editing I just connect to my desktop remotely. It lives out in the man cave now. I can play Xbox, PS3, PS4 or even Steam games or just use my desktop pc remotely from my Samsung phone even away from home now. Samsung Dex is the future.

[@buildwithk]

Would that mean you utilise the full power of your PC via your phone. What software are you using for that set up?

[@SD-tj5dh]

I regularly used citrix to use my work pc over my phone. My note10 has been valuable. Only just upgrading to an S23Ultta because the battery and microphone are on the way out.

How to connect remote

[@GeorgiDimitrov-ce2xm]

Do the mobile screen need to be on all the time while using Dex mode?

[@tamilfilmlovertamizhan9802]

reply to this man

[@jordanjackson8873]

No, the screen does not need to stay on, but you can still use your phone while using Dex. The only way to run 2 of the same apps at once is by running the 1st app on the monitor and running the 2nd app on the phone through secure folder.

[@SurajKumar-vb1yu]

no

[@malbayım355]

I'm planing to use samsung dex soon with samsung tab s10+ and I have a question, did you plug your mouse and keybourd to monitor or to your phone and If I use bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected to my tablet would I be able to use them with dex mode on monitor?

[@subhramondal7837]

Multiple excel files side by side ??? Any options???

Apple in 2030 - We have enabled reply from notification center and in 2075 they will bring DEX

[@Hariharan2k]

Hahaha... Apple - Still primitive!😂

[@adrianhung2097]

Great video. Does your phone charge also while connected via the usb dongle?

[@andrewgarfield1195]

Yes

[@StarNumbers]

This is the only vid on Dex that shows (toward the end) the cabling between the phone and monitor and other peripherals plus the wired ethernet. Oh, and showing it with the vanilla Samsung S23 is smart, too.

[@shotray]

Brilliant video. People should use their phones for everything. I recently got the nexdock wireless, I saved money on laptop for basic works, I saved money on a tablet , that too a 13.3 inch one :) . Saved money on a gaming console too. Phones can keep changing but the hardware for laptop remains the same. Please review such products, that's the future. Typing this from Nexdock wireless, cheers

[@ptbauro]

Hey, I generally use a full on docking station to connect to my phone - and boy does my phone heat up as well as drain the battery on dex mode. I use the S21 FE and the exynos chipset is definitely not the most efficient. But did you notice any heating from your end ? How can I keep the phone relatively cool while on dex ? And finally would you recommend using a simple type c dock instead of a docking station ?

[@raphaelmejia319]

Hace You figured out any solution? Maybe try wireless dex

Apple needs you to use iOS and MacOS separately... And they won't provide higher data speeds via their lightning port as provided by USB 3.0 or 3.1

[@ddvantandar-kw7kl]

Great Video I was wondering SmartView on samsung devices work on TV is there any way to mirror on PC monitor. Since dex is not supported on all devices.

[@-n-6969]

Ofcourse its good. its very useful for most people and for me, Yet its extremely underrated feature. its one of samsungs best feature ever released in my opinion.

[@suriya7646]

I have two questions: 1. Does the mobile screen always stays ON when using Dex ? 2. Can i connect more than 1 monitor ?

[@andriandri732]

1. No . 2. No

Could you use a regular USBc laptop docking station to connect the phone? I assume yes but curious..

[@traviskoh3318]

Very nice video. Btw, if we are using the type c hub and if both the monitor and the hub have no audio out, your only choice is bluetooth audio? Will it have any delay with the contents being played on monitor? Thanks.

[@ShawmahlamaDing]

My Samsung dex doesn't want to work when I'm connected to my monitor while mobile Data is on. any idea why? It cuts off when ever I try to go on chrome or Netflix.
