Tech With Brett Hi Brett , just wondering mate , do you think there are more apps that open up full screen with the s9 variants and the more modern dex ? i have the older Dex used via my S8+ which i have been using as my home computer for quite a while now since my pc bit the dust , ( probably close to a year , and while its is pretty good , there are some apps that wont go full screen natively . but i have found a lot of time for apps like netflix , if i open up chrome and go to netflix from the web and log in with my password ..... hey presto full screen mode . i have found you can do work arounds for a lot of apps , but it would be nice if you could just natively click on the icon in your apps draw and go full screen instantly ..... hence my question ... Cheers mate . One thing i do like about the dex as opposed to the home computer/pc , i come home of night , drop my phone in the dex , i use the pattern to unlock the screen which is very fast which all in all takes about 10 or 15 seconds to be up and running . Also , anything you do during the day taking photos or video , it is already on your phone and now on your wide screen monitor ready to go , no transferring of stuff to your pc , its actually pretty convenient . i do most of the stuff via my dex/galaxy that i used to on my pc , although occasionally there are some compromises like the odd app that wont go full screen . i dont render any sci fi movies or anything overly difficult that a hi powered pc might do , but general stuff , watching the odd movie , looking at tubes , emails , surfing the net , shopping , talking on the phone via the dex is pretty cool . i have also found that sometimes swapping between chrome and samsungs browser can be of benefit , both have different features , and sometimes using sammy`s browser works better for other features .. you mentioned the fan in the new dex , i dont know if you where just pointing it out or was not aware , but the older model also has a fan , it only comes on periodically and is very quiet . i have found even after hours of use my phone when using the old dex , it only gets warm and probably would actually get away without the fan anyway i think , good its there though . Thanks for doing the dex video .
I have the DeX station and it is really cool. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse and bluetooth speaker as well as a flash drive connected to the 2nd USB. Its a quick and easy way to get a better viewing experience for chat and email while charging your phone. It doesn't replace a PC for everything but for a lot of stuff it was pretty cool. There is another cool feature with this device. My wife's S8 lost touch but since I had it on the Dex before I was able to get into her phone and move some stuff off of it without issue.
Kiki Anas Ahmad it is amazing. I have a MacBook but I don’t have a desktop computer. I have an old HD TV that I don’t use anymore. I bought a keyboard and a mouse for £17. I got the DeX station as a pre order with my note 8. So basically I now have a desktop for £17. I’m not a heavy user so would not bother buying a PC. But for me this is a good solution.
I have just a simple USB-C extender(I bought it for iPad, it's "Satechi") that can be used with a PC for example. When I plug it in, it goes into DeX mode - everything works just fine, even without it being charged(you can plug the charger into the extender, to charge the phone). I start a game with it, full screen, on a 27" monitor :)
Really love your videos and appreciate the effort that goes into making them so informative and such high quality. Just a note to say that I was watching this on the big screen and hifi, and found the "woosh" sound-effect when bringing in a user's comment (eg at 13:17) had a very heavy bass component that confused me into thinking there was something going on outside the house! It is probably counter-productive to mix it in, but at least next time I won't be caught out 8-)
nexdock.com/ Here is the device appearing as a laptop without laptop inside. Connect your Galaxy phone you now have a DeX laptop. Their new model includes a touch screen.
I sooooo hope they come with a laptop type of Dex station,so you can use it on the go.. Much like the old Motorola Atrix long ago.. I hope they are looking into this...
All the questions asked doesn't relate to the real problem with the DeX.... 1. Why it wasn't working in uhd resolution 2. Does all the apps work with new version and in full screen mode 3. Does Netflix and other streaming apps work and in full screen mode 4. Does mobile games like modern combat versus or modern combat 5 or shadow gun legends or clash royal or clans games work well if using keyboard and mouse without any lag or problems ...... Plz these are genuine questions that been faced by so many people after watching so many utube videos 5.Does you tube open in full screen and watch them full screen 6. Can I open 2 documents next to each and other and compare notes like I do on a PC.....Thank u so much and your videos provide us with so much depth and input keep up the good work god bless u
These are grest questions. Right now I have an older software version so I assume that might be the issue. I definitely think I will make another video sometime answering all these questions. Thanks for the feedback!
You can get 4K from the dex pad, but only if you switch to screen mirorring check the reslotion on your monitor after you switch to screen mirorring, on the dex mode you'll get max 2k and the monitor has to supported as well other wise u'll get 1080p only, and please note only the screen mirroring through dex pad will get you 4K,so the phone has to be on the dex pad when screen mirorring, you won't get 4k if you use screen mirorring through any standard USB-C hub maybe the ones suppprt 4K will do .. but most of them its just 1080p screen mirroring. I hope this will help they only weird thing that i looked everywhere on the web and youtube no body mentioned this even the people who reviewed the dex pad they didn't know lol.
12:45 I recommend not using a case with the DeX Pad. You are far more likely to be a "power user" when using it with external peripherals and a big screen, which means more heat. It'll throttle less and run better without the case, which acts like a blanket keeping in heat. In fact, you could use one of the USB slots to stick a little USB powered micro-fan if you wanted.
Just get rid of some of your devices and then maybe you can. There is actually a Mac OS program now that will let you use DeX on you Macbook. This might be really useful to keep using your phone on your computer without switching back and forth. www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-dex/
I know im really late with this Brett, But i noticed that the Galaxy S8 and S9 have AMOLED screens. If I were to use the DeX Pad without a mouse and a keyboard....for an extensive period of time, will that crosshair in a box grid for the touchpad eventually burn in? I heard many people complain about eventual screen burn in with AMOLED phones
When choosing the screen resolution, did you try putting the phone into high performance mode? I know the default setting for the phone is "optimized" which limits the screen resolution to FHD to balance battery life with performance.
I really like your videos. You explain very well in details and use easy words that I can understand very quickly. Now, come to my questions. I'm using Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and I would like to whether I can connect my phone to the Dex pad and use it WITHOUT external mouse and keyboard. Another question is that: is it able to connect with a laptop? Or it can only connect to TV screen. Last question, is it able to connect with the old screen which does not have HDMI porter but VGA by using external adapter (VGA to HDMI)? Thanks in advance.
Regarding the question at 13:13 if the user would like to create a remote desktop connection over a vpn the answer is YES it is possible ... I am not 100% sure if the user meant whether its possible for him to create a vpn connection through the Dex and the answer is yes .... and thereafter he can create some remote desktop connection ... but teamviewer apk works like a charm .... without vpn over a regular wifi connection ....hope this helps.
The reason you're not able to select the second resolution option is because it is for an ultra-wide setup - it seems you're using a standard 16:9 screen.
This is still in beta test, if you try to use this for any amount of time the wow factor wears off fast. Most apps do not work with it, even a lot of Samsungs own apps. The thing freezes up more than windows vista, it is not ready for prime time. Buy a PC on a stick with an atom processor, you will get the same experience.
I have watched a couple of these dex reviews and I still haven't seen anyone use Word, Excel, Powerpoint, play any bulky and graphically intense mobile games...which is what this should be great for
First view of your channel, solid video, good work! I don't own one of these yet but it seems to be a very useful, niche device to replace the need to buy a tablet or laptop for entertainment and browsing purposes, especially business travelers. I could come to expect this on planes and premium ride share too I Wonder would Netflix for instance, look better on this or my 1st or 2nd generation Chromecast, that's like 7 and 4 years old and does a great job without the wires.? That it has me wondering why this couldn't be more like a TV stick, Chromecast app or similar device. It's like slightly more productive than a 1st Gen Chromecast but you don't need to have home internet and Wi-Fi just a bunch of carrier data would do for some people's all round needs.
13:42 welle 4 years later there is any desj=k or team viewer which are remote control softwares and which work on android as well as windows and even linux in any desk's case through a vpn is a very secure way to do it but rather technical and complicated when you do it the first time
Hey Brett, great vid, first time viewer. During your use of the Dex, how would you say the fan worked to cool down the battery? Also did the Dex heat up as well?
I could tell that as I started to open up more applications on screen it would automatically turn on and when it did not need to work as hard it slowed down. I'm not sure on exactly what is monitoring it. I am really glad that fan is there.
Brett, awesome video. Right now I have an S8+ , at the beginning of the video around the 1:30. What case are you using it looks so much better than any case I've bought or seen on any of the S8 + or above line. Thanks in advance.
Is your phone in quad hd resolution? Make sure it's selected in your display settings. That said, I'm glad I waited on the Dex, this one looks awesome!
Just wondering what the Google suite experience is like (Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets) and how does that compare to the Microsoft Suite (Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) installed on Samsung devices? How does it work for writing long documents or even creating a presentation (does the phone handle animations during a presentation well)?
Brett Awesome Video Always enjoy. Thanks so much for sharing. I really like this but my only question would be since Samsung already has that you can use it to Mirror link is this not the same?. Love your Videos and always like that they come out with Awesome Products. One of the reasons I'm a fan is they always help the Consumer. Thanks again Loved the Review Deb. 👌✌️👍
might seem like a dumb question but I just want to verify this before purchasing: can you connect bluetooth devices while using samsung dex, specifically a ps4 controller?
Yes Bluetooth is still fully functional while plugged into the pad. I have the station and use bluetooth keyboard/mouse/headphones and still works fine.
@@lloydirving6209 This would largely depend on the phone gen. But if you have 4.0+ then i don't think there would be any performance problems. Keyboard and mouse take very little to do anything. Audio is taking most of it. So i don't think a controller will have much problem in performance since it's similar to keyboard/mouse.
I have a question.. would the Dex pad work with the Note 9 ? I do know that I can buy the HDMI female to USB-C male for the Note 9.. but I want to charge the note 9 at the same time.. hence the question.. should I buy the Dex pad with the note 9??
I got the WQHD to work, I bought a HDMI to DVI cable and it worked straight away, couldn't get it to work through hdmi. I must say it really did look so much better in WQHD rather than 1080p
danny ho if your TV only supports a max of 1080p using the hdmi cable and setting the dex to 1080p is the best option. 1440p on a 1080p screen might look a bit strange as the screen would have to downscale the image so 1080p though a hdmi is your best option :)
Brett: What is the nomenclature for the cable that connects between the Dex hub, and my central hub, for power? and 2), I have a VGA monitor connrcted to my laptop. Is there a way to use that same monitor to hook into the Dex hub for full function , as well as for my laptop PC? (some kind of "Y" connector)
Nope. You can get a converter for HDMI to VGA but you loose some of the HDR and digital features HDMI has. Dex does not support dual display output, So you can only plug in 1 extra display to it. But if you wish to use your laptop. You can plug into a USB 3.0 or C gen 1 or 2 for displaying on your laptop as a optional Window mode (downloading the windows samsung dex app from samsung.), or throw it to cast onto a different display. This will let you flow from Dex to Windows with ease and use your internal keyboard/mouse systems, Vs having to use external keyboard/mouse for dex alone.
Hi ! Would it be possible to meanwhile connect an usb stick in one of the usb ports designed for mouse or keyboard ? Would the DEX " read" a movie from a stick connected like that ? Thanks !
This one took a bit to get together. PUBG even works in full screen now! What other questions do you have?
Tech With Brett Hi Brett , just wondering mate , do you think there are more apps that open up full screen with the s9 variants and the more modern dex ?
i have the older Dex used via my S8+ which i have been using as my home computer for quite a while now since my pc bit the dust , ( probably close to a year , and while its is pretty good , there are some apps that wont go full screen natively .
but i have found a lot of time for apps like netflix , if i open up chrome and go to netflix from the web and log in with my password ..... hey presto full screen mode .
i have found you can do work arounds for a lot of apps , but it would be nice if you could just natively click on the icon in your apps draw and go full screen instantly ..... hence my question ...
Cheers mate .
One thing i do like about the dex as opposed to the home computer/pc , i come home of night , drop my phone in the dex , i use the pattern to unlock the screen which is very fast which all in all takes about 10 or 15 seconds to be up and running .
Also , anything you do during the day taking photos or video , it is already on your phone and now on your wide screen monitor ready to go , no transferring of stuff to your pc ,
its actually pretty convenient .
i do most of the stuff via my dex/galaxy that i used to on my pc , although occasionally there are some compromises like the odd app that wont go full screen .
i dont render any sci fi movies or anything overly difficult that a hi powered pc might do , but general stuff , watching the odd movie , looking at tubes , emails , surfing the net , shopping ,
talking on the phone via the dex is pretty cool .
i have also found that sometimes swapping between chrome and samsungs browser can be of benefit , both have different features , and sometimes using sammy`s browser works better for other features ..
you mentioned the fan in the new dex , i dont know if you where just pointing it out or was not aware , but the older model also has a fan , it only comes on periodically and is very quiet .
i have found even after hours of use my phone when using the old dex , it only gets warm and probably would actually get away without the fan anyway i think , good its there though .
Thanks for doing the dex video .
Tech With Brett What about support for a Dell P2418HZ monitor. Built in speakers and webcams.
what games work in dex? Does Minecraft? Asphalt 8? etc
Pubg mouse control. Any better?
Tech With Brett goddes
In about 4 years from now, Apple will "invent" something just like this.
Monkey Magic yep and all the apple drones will be like "wow... look at this incredible new tech!"
Nah they won't it would be a money grab
A fucking docking station? Apples cheap they wont do that
Why would Apple even need this in the first place? They have Mac OS after all.
I'm willing to bet it will have 2 USB-C ports, not really charge your phone, and run a very cut down interface.
This is really cool. Samsung is trying to get right what Microsoft got wrong when they tried to do this same thing with the Windows Phone!!!!
Brian Woods They've also got full fledged Linux OS running in DeX mode!
Finally some one mentions windows phone
This revealed why windows 8 failed Metro UI those large looking Icons
@@microsoftcortana9239 windows phone, and windows 8 get the same response from users
@@quincypeters1274 what are you trying to prove?

This is called innovation.
Hey, apple fanboys, do you see it? Animojis (stolen name) are not innovation.
Great job samsung. I am surprised how advanced samsung is in technology i feel sad for apple. Rip apple rip notch.
nishant3984 iPhone is for little girls!
Voltorb true. Business, IT , commerce people prefer Samsung nowadays. As per my observation.
saloei Also those phones have wired options for a DeX. Love my Lumia 950.
saloei wired is still more reliable than wireless in my experience
There are soooo many apple zombies that it won't die anytime soon...
Wow this is Amazing! It's a full bl00dy computer on the HD TV! Technology is advancing at an amazing exponential rate.

diff mull Thanks for the feedback! It looks like it is pretty much all bass as I could not even hear it come through phone.
I don't know why they completely skipped over making it into a laptop. I would love to have a Dex laptop.
Well there is a Samsung fold now🤣 so I guess you got what you wished for
nexdock.com/ Here is the device appearing as a laptop without laptop inside. Connect your Galaxy phone you now have a DeX laptop. Their new model includes a touch screen.

DumbDuck44 That's not really a worry with the S9+. It never overheats even with a lot of hard stuff.
Bravo Brett, as pedagogic as usual
This is so cool. I have the Samsung s10, a macbook, and an iPad Pro 2018 and I’m desperately trying to find a use for Dex but haven’t found one yet.

I wish google would bring something like this to pixel
Ahmed Chandab It should bring this to Android by default when you connect a mouse or keyboard
Voltorb that would be the dream
So far only samsung do all these. Who else has dex, 360 cam, VR, Smart watches, earbuds all together?
Some Chinese Guy Sammy for the win!
Have AirPods and the Apple Watch and a gear VR and the DeX station.
Awesome! Going to use it for Emulation like PS1 and SNES, pair an 8BitDo gamepad via bluetooth and this is becoming a very nice gaming machine.
I just gave you your 1K like 👍👍👍 My DeX Pad arrives today can't wait to check it out 😁

Omg I'm deff buying that right now. That is waaay better than using my laptop
The reason you're not able to select the second resolution option is because it is for an ultra-wide setup - it seems you're using a standard 16:9 screen.
I love this video. Very thorough and detailed explanation!
Question here how is this device superior to your everyday screen mirroring service?
This is still in beta test, if you try to use this for any amount of time the wow factor wears off fast. Most apps do not work with it, even a lot of Samsungs own apps. The thing freezes up more than windows vista, it is not ready for prime time. Buy a PC on a stick with an atom processor, you will get the same experience.
Really good review thanks.
The best android desktop yet!
You can absolutely edit video and pictures with Dex. Not as fast as a powerful PC but you can do it in a pinch.
Thanks for this video!!!
What is the problem with Windows PC and VPN? Should work as well.
since it is laying flat is there a stand for it for video call?
As someone who doesn't have a PC. I have an S8 active laying around. Would this be a nicer option with a TV rather than buying a netbook?
I have watched a couple of these dex reviews and I still haven't seen anyone use Word, Excel, Powerpoint, play any bulky and graphically intense mobile games...which is what this should be great for
I will be making another video demoing these morning depth. PUBG worked pretty good but need to figure out better controls.
How about tv apps? Would you be able to use them?
Your video is great bro keep going 👍🏻❤️
Awesome video friend. Just the first 2 minutes made me sub right away...:) You can tell a quality video from the start.

I would mainly use the Chromecast for video but if you want to watch something and still use your phone on the big screen this is perfect options.
So does it charge your phone ?
Is the fans on the Dex station, and Pad effective at cooling the phone, or maybe the fans are they simply make those docks seem impressive?
13:42 welle 4 years later there is any desj=k or team viewer which are remote control softwares and which work on android as well as windows and even linux in any desk's case
through a vpn is a very secure way to do it but rather technical and complicated when you do it the first time
15:04 like the one found in *The Investigation Van* which it is a mobile detective headquarter where the portability and versatility is crucial.
Hi Brett, did you try this out with the S10?
Will the dex pad work with a quick charging powerbank instead of a wall plug?
Hey Brett, great vid, first time viewer. During your use of the Dex, how would you say the fan worked to cool down the battery? Also did the Dex heat up as well?

Tech With Brett excellent, thank you for the quick response and excellent video. Keep up the great work 👍
Is your phone in quad hd resolution? Make sure it's selected in your display settings. That said, I'm glad I waited on the Dex, this one looks awesome!
RazoE Dex pad resolution output and phone screen resolution output are totally separate.
if you get extenders for each port and make a good case, you could have a project linda stye laptop!
I got Samsung Dex Station and love it
13:00 you can buy a little extender thing off of amazon so you don't have to take your case off
Just wondering what the Google suite experience is like (Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets) and how does that compare to the Microsoft Suite (Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) installed on Samsung devices? How does it work for writing long documents or even creating a presentation (does the phone handle animations during a presentation well)?
Royston Pinto great question.
Royston Pinto Personally I prefer Microsoft Office compared to Google Office on phone and DeX.
Does your device heat up alot when it is on Dex mode? How effective was the fan on the dex pad?

This gives you a bit more control and space than just screen mirror. It just all depends what you are looking to do.
Just a guess. What is the reso on your phone? 1440p or 1080p? Maybe dex reso doesn't go above what you have set for your phone?
might seem like a dumb question but I just want to verify this before purchasing: can you connect bluetooth devices while using samsung dex, specifically a ps4 controller?

Hi love this review. Does the auto correct on Android still work with an external bluetooth keyboard paired?
Have you experienced lag in dex mode with note 8? I mean, with 10 tabs opened, 1 messaging app open, google maps open, and google assistant active?!?
Could you use a short USB-c cable to connect the two devices together without taking the case off everytime?
If you can find a USB-C extender that should work if it is of good quality.
Will this work on galaxy s10+? Thx 😊
Yep!
Does the HDMI from DeX pad allow the sound to come out from TV speaker as well? or just graphic? thx

I know this is an old video... I just want to know can I use this device to mirror Netflix or Amazon video to a portable tv w/hdmi?
I got the WQHD to work, I bought a HDMI to DVI cable and it worked straight away, couldn't get it to work through hdmi.
I must say it really did look so much better in WQHD rather than 1080p
That is great to know! Thanks for the feedback.
Matt, which monitor are you using?
Colin I. Atobajeun it's a Dell U2713HM
Mattf14 what if I have 1920x1080p plasma TV? I don't think it has an Dvi port
danny ho if your TV only supports a max of 1080p using the hdmi cable and setting the dex to 1080p is the best option. 1440p on a 1080p screen might look a bit strange as the screen would have to downscale the image so 1080p though a hdmi is your best option :)
Is it compatible with samsung galaxy m02s
Hi Brett, Nice video. I had a query. Can I connect a printer to this device ?
Does the internal fan run all the time or only when it detects heat? can it be turned off ? Do you hear it spinning ?
Will it work with a NOTE 9?
will it fast charge the phone while using it in dex mode with a standard 15W Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger?
Does this work with a Samsung Tab A?
Works with S10?
Does it work with S10 or S10+
Yes, both of them.
In order to get full 4K capturing you'll need a native 4K capture device like the elgato 4k.
Wonder if you can get an external hard drive to work on this.
Nice. Will it work with bluetooth a keyboard or mouse ?
Yep! Just pair them to the phone.
Hi will this station work on the S10 or Note 10?
Does the USB port in dex pad support USB debugging? I'm thinking about a good way to share keyboard and mouse with my computer...
Quick question. I have 2 monitors, Can I use both with the Samsung DEX?
No, it will only display to one monitor.
I have question. How you have connected the samsung dex with the TV. Is it with logitech or with a kable? I haven't understood it.
Hi!
Is there any reason to get a Dex Pad if you own a Note 9?
Thanks a lot, great video, btw!
Do you find the connector on the pad a bit flimsy and loose? Mine seems to me that will break off and can defiintely bend.
Can I connect an external hard drive using the USB ports ?
@Mahal Cruz thanks :)
Can you print?
Brett: What is the nomenclature for the cable that connects between the Dex hub, and my central hub, for power? and 2), I have a VGA monitor connrcted to my laptop. Is there a way to use that same monitor to hook into the Dex hub for full function , as well as for my laptop PC? (some kind of "Y" connector)
Nope. You can get a converter for HDMI to VGA but you loose some of the HDR and digital features HDMI has. Dex does not support dual display output, So you can only plug in 1 extra display to it.
But if you wish to use your laptop. You can plug into a USB 3.0 or C gen 1 or 2 for displaying on your laptop as a optional Window mode (downloading the windows samsung dex app from samsung.), or throw it to cast onto a different display. This will let you flow from Dex to Windows with ease and use your internal keyboard/mouse systems, Vs having to use external keyboard/mouse for dex alone.
Hi ! Would it be possible to meanwhile connect an usb stick in one of the usb ports designed for mouse or keyboard ? Would the DEX " read" a movie from a stick connected like that ? Thanks !
Nice review thanks.
Does it work only with Samsung devices? I have phab 2 pro for instance. Cheers
working with Note 9?
So cool so much more portable than last year's
Great video. Thx.
Hi, I got a dex and a s8+ phone. Now I cannot connect any mouse or keyboard with it. Does anyone know perhaps how to fix that?
Does this work with the Note 10 variants ?
Will be coming out for the nite 10
This will work with the Note 10.
Hi Brett....quick 1; ...it's there a way to verify once the phone reach the 100% battery charge.... to stop it ?
