I'm curious what you guys use Dex for. I'm assuming other than web browsing and Google docs type of thing there's not much to it? I'm curious if anyone really uses the potential of the phones/tablets to run something else (productivity wise). I work in construction and i wish I could run Autocad or solid works but nope. Or at least I dont think so. I'm stuck with googles remote desktop to reach my pc.

I love using Dex .. but a few locations like home and work I have a dual screen and it would truly be a game changer to have dual screen support

I've used Dex a handful of times. Mainly to play movies on hotel tvs without having to bring a full laptop. My current laptop is basically at the end of its life as a laptop and going to be getting the repurposing treatment soon and run freenas instead. So I decided to give Dex a shot at being my standalone mobile computing solution. I picked up a cheap 15 ish inch lapdock on amazon for 160 buck. Made by dopesplay. And took it on a cross country trip to do some house hunting for an impending move. Picked up my rental car after a 5 hour flight, which thankfully had wireless android auto, and hit the road.

As expected, the screen realestate and multitasking ability of Dex made looking at messages from my realtor, scrolling thier website and zillow, and looking at the pictures a MUCH more pleasent experience. I get to my hotel, plot it on a desk, whip out a usb mouse and am scrolling and navigating as if I were on a pc. I get in the car, punch in the address for the house im going to next, whip out the lapdock and plug in my phone, and there my phone is, running android auto on the car wirelessly, answering text messages on the phone, while looking at picture and emails on the lapdock. Incredibly powerful! I was not expecting the system to allow android auto and a ANOTHER external display. But it handles it like a champ. No stutters or freezes at all. Mind you I am using an S24 Ultra, so the 12GB of ram were being put to work for sure. I edited photos and videos to send to the wife since she couldn't make the trip, joined in on video chats to discuss options WHILE looking at the options, and watched some twitch on food breaks. I did this for 3 day. And the ONLY thing I noticed off during this time was that the clock on the andoid auto screen freezes when you connect to the lapdock. Which did make me late to one meeting after I realized the problem. One thing I didn't use yet was the micro sd slot on the lapdock itself. I have 512GB phone so no need for the extra storage. But it is there on the specific lapdock I have.

TLDR: Easily the best experience you can get for the price. To have the performance of the newer phones, the camera, ability to edit photos and videos, run not only multiple apps but multiple screens of apps AND android auto, and plug in a mouse all at the same time is truely a great experience. The things you need are always with you as long as you have your phone. No need to whip out the laptop to send anything, since its always on the phone. If you in the market for a general use laptop, dont need anything power hungry, and want the best cohesive phone to laptop comunication. I strongly suggest you give it a try for a day. The shortcuts and controls are very if not identical to windows making the learning curve nearly non existant.

So i'm sold. I will not be returning the lapdock. I will not be buying a new laptop fo replace my HP with its 4th gen intel quad core. And I might even get a better lapdock in the future. If you have a samsung phone or tablet, you dont need a chromebook, you dont even need a low spec laptop. Just get a lapdock and give Dex a series trial. You will not be sad.

About 4 days ago, touch screen on my G20 started to go weird, failing to register up swipes to unlock. 48h later, the digitizer went completely crazy and clicks on random things constantly and very fast, making the phone unusable. Trouble is, there are un-backed-up pictures of the birth of my son on it. And even pluggin in the usb, I couldn't get into the USB notification to approve file transfer mode. Then I remember that when, for some reason, I plugged my then G10 into my Dell docking station, it did something great, and gave me the idea to try. I plugged a M&KB into the station hopping to override screen inputs, then the phone. Dex started, and I could copy the pictures to my NAS perfectly!

Just a heads up; the OneUI 8 beta is now available depending on which device you have.

I've installed it on my S25 Ultra - I can't reccomend it if your a DEX user, quite like the new window style but there's so many things just missing or broken, I can't change the screen res (stuck at 1080p), I can't change taskbar settings (like hide taskbar), its a beta fair enough but its all a bit "meh" currently.

Edit; Just noticed Full Screen isn't an option for things like RDP which is really annoying! Might revert back to be honest!

I recently came across some exciting news about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processors. These processors, built on ARM architecture, aim to deliver not only exceptional performance for mobile devices but also PC-level computing capabilities. This is incredibly exciting because mobile devices are becoming more than just phones—they’re evolving into portable computers.

Additionally, there are reports that Android 15 will provide enhanced support for Linux terminals and Linux applications. The integration of Linux apps and terminal capabilities into the Android ecosystem could significantly boost productivity on mobile devices.

When I connect these two developments, one thing immediately comes to mind: Samsung's "Linux on DeX" project. If you remember, this feature allowed users to connect their device to an external monitor and access a fully functional Linux desktop environment. Unfortunately, Samsung discontinued this project in 2019, ceasing support after Android 10.

Given the hardware power of the Galaxy S25, the software potential of Android 15, and the increasing demands from users, I believe Samsung should seriously consider bringing back Linux on DeX or something similar.

It would be an incredible tool for developers and system administrators.

It offers a great solution for users seeking a portable desktop experience with their mobile devices.

Here’s my suggestion to Samsung: If you’re developing a powerhouse like the Galaxy S25 series, you should also provide features that allow users to fully utilize that power. A return of Linux on DeX, or a comparable Linux desktop experience, could transform these devices into not just smartphones but full-fledged workstations. With Android 15’s Linux support in the pipeline, the time is right—both the hardware and software are ready.

What do you think? Should Samsung bring back Linux on DeX? And if so, should we collectively voice our demands to make this happen?

I got UI 7'd this morning, and I'm looking for a Dex-for-PC replacement with the following requirements:

1. The ability to use the same mouse/keyboard I use to operate my PC

• My work does not allow me to remote into my laptop, even at home

• I do not want my laptop sitting on/around my desk

• My work does allow MS tools on my phone, which is why Dex for PC was so perfect (why I bought the phone)

2. The ability to check in on my Teams/Outlook messages, do replies, view calls (including video) over teams

• My work does not allow the Office365 (browser) version of apps either

Basically, I DO NOT WANT to have a separate monitor/keyboard/mouse to operate the phone or other work-based interface. I want to use my home PC to periodically check in on work messages or take calls, etc., while I spend most of my time doing development on my personal PC. Also, I work from a minimal desk that is an "Island" in the middle of my home office. It looks nice, and having a bunch of devices sitting around on the desk messes that up. I went to great lengths to hide all the cables for everything.
