I have used dex in the past. But probably last time I tried it a year ago.

I have an old monitor lying in the kitechen area. Today, I was like what happens if I hook up my Fold 4 with this monitor using HDMI <-> USBC adapter ?

I was surprised! it works straight away, a bunch of new settings I see for the 1st time (pointer customization 🤯), and the contunity between the monitor and phone is great (though not perfect, wish I can drag drop windows between the monitor and the phone).

Samsung internet defaults to desktop sites with Dex.

I am now very exicted to try it on on my main USBC 4K monitor.

Downside is, phone lost 10% battery during a short amount of time sadly.

Samsung, the dream is close. Please dont give up on dex, today I started to think about ditching my laptop, just give me a real linux subsystem with a terminal.

I've had a Dex-capable phone for years but never really gave it much thought - "why would I use this?" was my general impression. Well, just got blown away by what it can really do - I've got an outdoor event tonight that I'm running a few movies at, and I didn't want to drag the laptop over for it, so I thought I'd see if Plex (already on the phone) would do OK via a USB-C-to-HDMI dongle on the phone (yes, works great) - but it's a lot of movies, what about power? Didn't want to drag over a wireless charging puck ... so I dug out a Lention USB-C dock that has HDMI and USB PD, plugged that in and now I've got my movie running, and the phone is charging nicely. But wait - can I make my mouse & keyboard work? Yep, a Logitech wireless dongle in that dock works great, typing this right now using my desk keyboard and mouse. Reads and writes USB keys and MicroSD cards in the dock fine too. And the phone remains usable (if unwield on the dock, a USB-C extension cable helped a log) on its own display while using Dex, so I can still use it tonight while movies are playing if I need to.

It's really close to a desktop experience - and with the dock it makes everything really portable, a lot of cases now where I can just leave my laptop behind entirely. I can't believe I didn't figure this out sooner - have missed out on a lot of opportunity by not testing this out years ago when I got the phone! :-)

This is probably preaching to the choir, but I just wanted to share. I'm wrapping up a full work day using ONLY my phone with DeX. My normal workstation is with a monitor/keyboard/mouse all connected to my laptop via USB-C, but I've occasionally plugged in my phone just to play with DeX on it

I've spent all day answering emails, editing dozens of items across multiple tabs, monitoring and answering live chats, listening to music, I made a banner ad from scratch and sent out an email campaign, and even updated some designs in Figma. And I did it all from my PHONE, and it's fast, too! DeX is not even new and this is still absolutely mind-blowing to me. I don't give a shit about gimmicky AI features, this is the real future of the smartphone as a digital convergence device.

Yes, there's still some jank, as some apps don't know what to do with a keyboard and mouse, but holy crap it's impressive how good DeX is. Maybe we (in this sub) are niche users, but it feels like it should be a headline feature for these phones!

I work from home and rely heavily on my Internet connection. I'm fully back to using Windows, after Google trying to dictate what WiFi connection I should use + changing back preferences that mitigate tracking / telemetry.

Such a relief - using Windows again. Dex isn't nearly as baked and ready for a desktop load (cam, mic, sharing a screen + word / Samsung Notes).

This is more to do with Android than with Dex.

Windows rocks! No replacement, none whatsoever.

Basically, after the discussion about folding keyboards popped up again last week, Protoarc has agreed to send a review unit for us to evaluate

I'm not sure if they're sending the bundle with the bluetooth mouse as well, or just the keyboard, but either way, looking forward to putting it thru it's paces.

initial glance, it looks like one of the only full size, full function folding keyboards, and as a nice bonus, it also has multi pairing ability, like a bunch of the Logitech keyboards have as well.

If you've got any specific questions you want answered, or thoughts about it, post up here, and we'll try to touch on those once it arrives
