I enjoy using DEX. There’s a lot to learn and also work around with some apps. About 95% of the time DEX will get the job done without a heavy laptop.

Samsung should build some ultra thin foldable screen+keyboard (similar to laptop, but without processor, graphic card, etc) to compliment dax. At the moment you still need external monitor, keyboard, mouse.
@nickthaskater

They’re called lapdocks and they already exist. Look up Nexdock for example.

Weird that you can’t do collages in Express, meaning you’d have to go back and forth between it and Samsung Gallery to do what you’d normally do in one application. Patching Rush could fix that issue, so other than that, ig not too bad of an experience for you. Great to know!, as I was considering purchasing a monitor and using DeX instead of purchasing a laptop. I currently have a Book Go, but Windows is getting weird and there are certain mobile experiences for my work that are superior or just non-existent on PC.

In the Western world (with many of us having multiple computing gadgets) this might seem as a cool gimmick but in developing countries Dex could be revolutionary.

The Dex feature was first tried by Motorola way back with the Atrix. Phones just simply wasn’t powerful enough back then. Now they are. With that said, Apple would never allow this because it would kill their low end Mac sales and even iPad sales in some regard. This is also the reason why they haven’t put full Mac OS on an iPad!

Lumafusion on Andriod is a good video editing option.
@Aggie4life77
June 15, 2024 at 3:09 pm
The only problem I see with solely using Dex or something similar is that, how often are you going to be in a situation when traveling to hook up a monitor? Even if you find one, you will still need to carry a keyboard and mouse. Just get a MacBook Air and call it a day!
@ronaldbardalez6318
June 15, 2024 at 7:58 pm
No, it’s not meant for travel. It’s for “office” or “home-office” use, clearly. Not even Samsung is pretending to replace your real, usual workstation. They’re just adding a very convenient and useful feature for whenever it makes sense.

When it first came out, I know a few YouTubers who plugged their phone into their hotel room’s HD television, and use that as a monitor.
Over the last few years, though, many hotels have made it nearly impossible to access the HDMI ports on the TVs (from my experience).

@rwno1

Nicely Done! DEX should get more attention and developers to maximise the platform! I use it more than my laptops and I am a Management consultant! It is not supposed to replace your laptop, but useful in a pinch. Consider it like a Leatherman Multitool, it does not replace your toolbox but useful in pinch or away from home 😊
@rwno1
June 15, 2024 at 5:01 pm
Even my firm has the ability to use VDI and they say it is not supposed to replace your work laptop, but is very useful if you are entertaining clients or on business trips and don’t want to lug around a laptop that could get lost or stolen. This is also how I use DeX for holidays and trips in hotels using wireless Dex on Samsung TV’s with Netflix, spotify and even Xbox Cloud!

People need to stop pretending that mobile apps are the same as desktop apps or programs. Sure, you can get away with some of them in a pinch, but if you’re serious about productivity, it’s not really close.
That said, Dex is a cool feature… but let’s keep it in perspective, ya know?

My most annoying setting is the mouse scroll wheel direction. I’m used to scroll in reverse on macOS. I wish there was a setting to revert that on Dex. Mouse use is confusing because of it.

I have a Chrome tablet that works well as a desktop with keyboard/mouse attached and works like an Android tablet including Google apps with keyboard detached. Desktop mode works great because Chrome OS is inherently a desktop OS, then sandboxes for Android is added. I wish someone would come up with a phone with Chrome OS. It would work better than DeX.

great review! one thing I’d add is that most used Windows shortcuts work on Dex, like CTRL+C and CTRL+V for copy and paste for example. also, Dex is available on Samsung tablets and you can use it on the tablet screen it self, it doesn’t need to be connected to a monitor for it to work.
@ninoluciosantiago

DeX can run on ultrawide screen at high resolution but you need to download the utilities in Samsung Good Lock

@1:06 – your desk set up and posture is screaming for an adjustment. That poor Veridesk is taking up so much desktop space.
Your single monitor is so close to you. It should be at least an arms length away when seated properly.
This will benefit your neck, back and eyes.
Please ask for an ergo assessment! Your body will thank you later.
Be careful! You might not feel discomfort now but soon enough your shoulders, neck and wrists are going to be paying the price.
Good luck! 🖥

I also tried the same experiment for a previous job I had, but found there were still too many quirks with programs, and not to mention the ‘lack of’ familiar ‘productivity’ software I required. Until the software experience is more familiar with that of a desktop system, it’s never going to work sadly.

This further proves that Samsung has a marketing problem. How come ppl still not know about DEX. Samsung has never made a commercial advertising this key feature. They fail to Sponsor any NBA,NFL, or any Pop culture events to connect with the youth. I love android and use to defend Samsung to the end. But I’m tired of being their PR team. Samsung have a marketing issue and has had one for years.

@superiortoall22

It’s a “vanity” feature, meaning it’s not very useful but it’s there for people to say “well Samsung has this feature” and for Samsung to pad the back of their box with another feature. Most people are saying “I don’t know why Samsung isn’t advertising this” and it’s because even Samsung knows there’s not much use for this in the adult world.

When using Dex, the browser is gonna be your best friend. Using slack, zoom, Google docs, excel etc will all work better and be more familiar in the browser rather than using the app versions

Great review and test.
Umm I noticed you haven’t installed Good Luck and enabled the I love Dex mode within MultiStar. This is a must if you are serious about using Dex for laptop replacement.
Those black bars on the monitor 😮. I think enabling High Resolution within MultiStar might fix that.
Even though Dex is great, I always end up carrying my laptop, table and foldable lol
