Love it. The more competition we get, the faster we get to a complete desktop experience.
I still have an old Samsung S9 + with a broken screen that goes dark most of the time pretty much impossible to see anything on it. I have it setup on a 60" TV running Emulators and other games using Dex mode and a PS4 controller paired to it 😄 this is one of the reasons why i always keep my old phones when i switch to a new one
My S10 is gonna be replaced soon, and I'm planning something kinda similar to that for it.
I use Dex most days & love it, but i'm looking forward to seeing the competition push the development of desktop interfaces on phones even further. Dex is amazing, but has bugs, & more competition will hopefully make them all better.
Motorola tried this years ago, they haven't copied Samsung. Just software and tech has gotten better.
Ha! take that Samsung. Healthy competition is always good for the customers. For those who have placed Moto on the back burner in recent years this may peek their interest Of course it's it's up to Moto to market the hell out of this feature as far as some other youtubers are concerned that's another story, If it isn't Apple or Samsung forget it they're not interested.
of course they are ryt.. always go for apple or samsung if u want class products otherwise if u don't want brand name u can go for cheap chinese crappy products which copy apple and samsung horribly
@Thierry BLAY yes that's why they feel cheap and horrible, I can never imagine myself using a Chinese product; samsung for lyf🔥🔥 or even if I switch in future from Samsung that would be apple
@Thierry BLAY yes that's true and also samsung and apple started together around 2011 being populat in phones from that time both evolved together copying each other that they both feel so original
@Thierry BLAY yes that's what I love about these two, they take inspiration from each other yet look completely different
No Slay
I keep re watching this and it's genuinely exciting to see Android make moves towards desktop computing
Tbh, I'd want to see ChromeOS coming to smartphone. It has Play Store support and you can run Linux desktop software from it. That is a big win to me.
@@farishanafiah8461 I know right! With my current use case which is mostly online-based, I'm tempted to get a ChromeOS computer!!
@@farishanafiah8461 Why the heck don't they put two and two together and merge Chrome OS into Android Desktop Mode
?
@@mike_t_007 Because Android don't have the GNU library codes. That is why you never been able to natively install and use Linux desktop softwares despite using Linux kernel. If you look at GNU Linux smartphone like Purism Librem 5 or PINE64 PinePhone/PinePhone Pro, you'll understand what I'm on about.
@@farishanafiah8461 Thank you Faris. Why can't Google add these into the next version of the OS or even add them in a mid version update to enable these features?
Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 with Micro-HDMI-input, as a standalone already great. Powered by Moto = Dream-Team!
Thanks for continuing to promote the desktop mode on Android! I would like for this to be the future. Away from Windows, Apple, even Linux and also Chromebooks. Android, the best OS ever!
Oh please, Android can't even run desktop softwares at all. I'd rather have a full-fledge Linux smartphone instead. Also, Android itself is far from a true desktop OS replacement, so don't expect it to ever replace Windows or macOS or even Linux. I can definitely see Android Desktop Mode replace Chromebook, but that's about it.
In the near future I see the biggest use-case for these kinds of devices filling that gap of needing a cheap phone and cheap laptop/chromebook for the kids or the older folks. When my father-in-law's windows laptop finally dies, I'll only have to be tech support for ONE device. Face it: for a good percentage of the market, most people could do what they do with a web-browser, and maybe some light office apps if they didn't want to use a browser-based solution. Add the ability to do light video and audio editing (butt-cuts, titles, moving clips) and that would seal the deal for a lot of grandmas out there.
I use Dex everyday on my Samsung M5 monitor for streaming twitch and also playing fortnite with Moga controller. Works surprisingly well, can't switch to a phone that doesn't have a desktop mode. Thanks for the video
👍
Same for me. Desktop Mode is a truly useful feature to have when travelling light without a laptop or mini PC.
Then where do you use the dex mode with?@@farishanafiah8461
The level that I'd wish something like this would find its way onto the Xperias!
That is a good point. After all, Sony used to have their own laptop division.
TRUTH.
Hallelujah... Now your talking... C'mon Sony, bring it on!
Maaaaan thank you!!! They are ALL missing a REAL desktop grade browser. That’s the most important piece of it.
Dex is definitely one of the few reasons I've stuck with Samsung phones the past couple generations
Shame they cripple other things on Samsung such as and APTX Lossless support even when the chip supports it.
Great review, competition, I love it. I really didn't think I could consider a moto phone over an s22, but just maybe.. Interested in a full phone review and what that stylus is going to be like. Just refreshing to see someone really embracing desktop, moto deserves our support!
I mean an unlocked Edge+ with ready for, a great fingerprint sensor, more expensive screen, and 512gb of storage for $100 less than the base model S22+?
Moto came to play. Techies are sleeping on great competition.
Am using Dex on Tab S8 and Dex UI has become my fav way to interact with the tablet. I am a tech enthusiast and like playing around which encouraged me to buy a cheap HDMI Capture Card. I use that with my RaspberryPI 4 and now my Dex+Rpi setup is one hell of a Kali Linux portable hacking device.
DOING IT RIGHT!
I am curious with your comment. I am also using Galaxy tab S8.
I wonder what the purpose of Dex + Rpi is.
I've searched around on Google but haven't found an answer yet
@@sitebycat usb c of s8 was hdmi in. You can use your tab s8 as a screen for Rpi. I use it for Kali linux which I got setup on rpi.
Imagine if Motorola brought back micro sd storage and a headphone jack!!!!!!! Couple those with Ready For and a better camera Samsung would feel it in their bottom line.
Those are only available in their budget phones
Ikr. That can easily be a worthy Sony Xperia rival.
The G100 is what you might look at. SD and jack with Ready-For.
@@KillerRaptorr Goodness! The processor on that smartphone isn't a joke either for that price! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@PSYCHOV3N0M About the Xperia 1's 4K resolution, it was actually a cropped 21:9 resolution from a native 16:9 canvas. You notice that the width in landscape (aka height in portrait) is still 3840 px. That is because there is still no smartphone SOC that can truly support 2160p landscape height (aka portrait width) in native 21:9 format to date. I won't be surprise to see Sony give 5040x2160 px resolution on future Xperia 1 model if there is an off-the-shelf SOC with such a resolution compatibility.
We need an open-source implementation of this feature.
If you look under Developers setting, there is a toggle to 'Force desktop mode'. The feature is there, it's up to the OEM to develop a custom version of it and enable HDMI ALT video output support on their phones.
So I love my Edge Plus 2022 but for some unknown reason the connection speed is about 1/3 of what I get on my Galaxy S22 and S23 Ultra on T-Mobile they can hit 205mbps but the edge only hits between 30 and 90mbps
right. this should happen. ideally, we should be using a single computing device for our personal life. for younger people, most people in the world their smartphone is their only computing device.
Even for average consumers who only scroll web browser and social media apps, the phone itself is more than enough.
can the phone screen be turned off without cutting the output to the monitor?
Does it support hdmi out via kabel and chraging at the same time like dex dock
I love Ready For on my Motorola G100. I'm really hoping my phone gets this new version when I get Android 12 (whenever that is. 😕)
Agreed. It's great on my G100 in its current iteration and very snappy. Along with web apps, it's quite impressive how close just a phone has come to replacing a desktop.
Still, it could be improved with the addition of window snapping / tiling, as having to manually drag and size windows is tedious. It would also be good to be able to put two chrome windows side by side.
Also, this isn't a Moto thing, but it would also be fantastic if Google got around to putting in keyboard shortcuts into its Android OS apps so they worked the same as web apps when used on a browser.
It's likely G100 will get Ready For 3.0. Since the G100 will now get Wireless Ready For casting.
And it'll likely be soon, Since Edge+ 2022 is on Android 12 native. So the upgrade being over a year for G100/Edge 2021 is not likely to far. Few months maybe or less.
There is now a G200
@@bengoey G200 isn't much of a improvement in lots of ways. It looses quite a few things and only thing big is the 888+ SD and few minor touches.
Plus it's not sold in US markets. So no there isn't really a G200.
The SD870 is a beast.
Yes, TV out is pretty interesting and practical.
Regular USB-C to HDMI adapter works. You may want USB-C PD dock with HDMI for it
TV out should be mainstream to every smartphone. It's so much more practical than using wireless connectivity.
@@farishanafiah8461 I'm in my 40s and I've never purchased a phone more than $250 or my husband except we bought our daughter a iPhone SE 2020 a couple years ago through cricket for like 400 bucks but anyways I purchased the new Motorola edge Plus 2022 for $8.99 at Best buy just because I don't like Samsung and Apple and I wanted HDMI out. I hate the idea of my abilities being constricted, so these other companies can make money off of streaming services and Internet packages because they know that they will lose those customers when people use their HDMI out.
@@thefamily730 You can still use streaming services with HDMI out, so it's not much of a problem there. It's the Internet packages that they are catching since you have to be connected to WiFi or Mobile data all the time.
@@farishanafiah8461 I agree for the most part but it seems like the projectors that I've looked at and the different kind of devices I have tried to connect to a lot of them do block Netflix and Hulu and things like that of course I'm sure some of them don't but I do find a lot of them are blocked but the RUclips one isn't I know that but I'm learning trying to anyways
I bought my wife a Motorola one ace 5g and must admit it's a way better device than i thought it will be it has a nice screen even though it has one speaker it's nice and loud and they been keeping up with security updates very well 👍🏾
The ace was really solid. Incredible battery life too.
The base S22 and S23 only max out at a 20+W charging which lags significantly behind other androids. There are a few smartphones out there offering a desktop experience and I think your review of Ready For will finally end my hunt for smartphone upgrade.
Hi Juan. Thanks for all your videos. Got a question if you have a moment. I watched your unboxing video, the "your reactions" video, and this one. Since your setup was off-camera in the unboxing video, I'm confused about one thing: Does this phone work *_wired_* to your NexDock? How does it hook up? Single USB-C for video, keyboard & trackpad? I thought Motorola publicly said ReadyFor was wireless only, which to me would defeat the purpose, because it requires you have a fully functional OS on your laptop in order to use your phone as your laptop. Plus wireless lag and/or requiring Wi-Fi doesn't sound awesome if you're trying to write an email in a hotel or something.
Edge 2021 is wireless only. It's USB C port is only 2.0 which is data only no video output. So you could still broadcast it to a nexdock (if it's got wireless compatibility.) and use the wired connection for mouse/keyboard functions.
But G100/200 and Edge+ 2020/2022 versions are all wired compatibile (USB-C 3.1 +displaylink.) Which allows for wired video output and data. Though G100/200 and Edge+ 2020 are on Android 11. So no wireless right now. But G100/200 will get android 12 and get wireless Ready For mode, Along with the Ready For 3.0 improvements. (No update for Edge+ 2020 sadly.)
@@KillerRaptorr Thank you!!
I find Dex very useful, but I love that Motorola is providing competition. It is definitely needed. Samsung could be doing more to make this a more desirable feature.
Motorola has done some cool stuff with software, let see what they do with this.
Sadly mid-range manufacturers not interested,,, like Xiaomi, Vivo oppo, etc
Biggest thing holding these back is lack of a desktop supported browser. IMO
Kiwi Browser is the only mobile browser that can support Chrome extensions. Definitely worth to try out.
@@farishanafiah8461 tried it. Kinda works meh
This is my first having a flagship phone ever. All of my previous ones were low budget android phones. I love ready for and be able to run gamecube games on an emulator and play Mariokart double dash on my monitor lol with an Xbox controller. Pretty cool, I probably won't use it for anything else tho. I do have one issue however. Whenever I unplug from my monitor then press the discord application it shows up as a small window box on my phone like it's stuck on ready for? And it doesn't fix itself until I restart the device. Maybe that was a one time thing maybe I'll check later
Opera now has a Desktop-Feel on Mobile that lets you change it to a more Desktop-UI friendly system as Samsung Internet Browser and Chrome/Edge does.
Opera GX and Firefox are still stuck as a mobile system sadly.
It's also good to see Android 12 version will be more refined then it's Android 11 which is what the Edge 2021/G100/Old Edge+ are stuck on. But G100/Edge-2021 will get 12 and hopefully these will be way better and for cheap it'll bring more interest for Ready-For.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M Sadly because lots of people want youtube adblocking and samsung disabled it from the addon blockers. So RUclips doesn't have video adblocking anymore. It has ability to skip after 5seconds. But unlike Opera and Firefox. Samsung is really only good now as just basically a browsing system. So it works ok. But not for youtube or other video systems.
This + unlimited 5G plan that never throttles + powerful PC at home that you can remote into with Parsec or Moonlight + 1440p/1600p lapdock that will hopefully be a thing soon = My perfect setup
Watching this video on my Motorola Edge plus 2022 😎🔥🔥🔥
I'm running my note 20 ultra with the og dex station as a retro gaming station and as my desktop
Does not connect to mi box 4k or Airtel (Android TV) STB.
After some searching i found that can mirror my phone but can't use Ready GO app on Android 9 plus TV.
Since 80% Android box or Smart TV above 6 version don't support MeraCast.
And Ready GO app need only meracast.
Lol.
A ChromeOS like desktop mode could be useful for everyone
Heck, I'd go as far as having ChromeOS on a phone.
Or, since Chromebooks are inexpensive, if it was possible to use Dex and/or ReadyFor when connected to them, it would extend their life indefinitely. It's not like Google couldn't just implement this into ChromeOS in order to "go green" and keep aging laptops out of landfills.
@@bradleypariah That depends if both Samsung and Motorola will develop their PC solution for Android, which is totally unlikely since you already have Android in the first place.
I hope the desktop feature will success in the future
Lol nice video I made one about ready for yesterday I'm really loving ready for
Will it connect through an Amazon fire tv stick?
Side note the track pad on my HP Lapdock works properly with the S22 ultra where it didn't with my note 9. I was nearly going to sell it even though I could use the phone as a track pad or a my bluetooth mouse it feels better to just plug the phone in and use DEX on the Lapdock on it's own. The wireless connections still registers typing one key press as 2, it would have been nice to get this patch for the note 9. Lets hope motorola adds a desent stylus experience then samsung will really have to compete on all fronts.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M wow, the OCD is strong with this one
Great for Moto,great review as always.👍
Oh man, Does that mean lenovo android tabs will run ready 4? I would love to see that!
It's nice to have competition with DeX. Hope both companies lewrn from ewch other to move the technology forward.
Great points about Ready For! I've been enjoying it on the Edge 2021. Great video 👍
@Mendell does your 2021 Edge 2021 is capable of handling 4k resolution? Can you hook it up with cable by using the Dex station for example?
I'm just curious about which Moto phones support this Ready For feature. If this is only on Motorola's premium phones, I'll just wait until their current premium phones lower in price.
Per Moto's site, ready for is on the Edge 20 line of phones (PC only on the edge 20 lite), Edge+ and G100. If they can bring the feature to their equivalent of Samsung's A series it would be big and get in the hands of more folks. Same if DEX were to be on the Samsung A series line at least the high end versions of that line.
@@Hellspawn05 The 2020 edge+ or the 2022 edge+?
I love Ready For on my G100, however it hasn't gotten this newer version yet of Ready For. I hope I get it when I get the Android 12 update.
@@stevepogue1124 Both. I remember seeing Tim Schofield's video about a year ago regarding Ready For and he used a 2020 Edge+ and it got Ready For via the Android 11 update and for sure the newest Edge+ this year has it.
@@Hellspawn05 Vanilla Edge 20 can only do PC and Wireless. It cannot do wired.
It’s amazing how much I learn watching your videos. By the way, you’re slowly changing the way I think about phones. And I’m glad you and TK made me order the phone.
Always glad folks enjoy the conversation. Congrats on that new Moto!
The only thing keeping me from buying a Motorola phone are the cameras. They have been ass sice forever.If they improve them by a whole lot, more people might consider purchsing a Motorola over a Samsung.
Is it wireless only? I have tried a PD to HDMI dock that I used with an s22 ultra and it doesn't recognize the display on my monitor, and my smart tv is too far from the router to have a usable experience with mirroring.
Would love it if they would just put up a Gnome 4 desktop with a sandboxed linux environment. Linux gaming is great now given the investment from the Steam Deck and Gnome 4 is pretty polished, getting close to MacOS
Truth.
unfortunately the linux gaming you are talking about is for x86 desktop chips, not arm v8/9 ones like in the android
however emulation - especially, ps2,wii, and even switch to some extent is possible on the phones
Hello can you please make a video in English and focus on the TV function of the ready for app. Nobody has been doing it. The idea is to see the performance of the remote mode on the phone and see if it could simulate Android TV box experience. Can you add apps like Netflix, RUclips and other VOD application you can have, maybe even a tv app if you have.This way we can see how the apps display in full screen and see how the remote is responsive with the interface.
I misses LG I always felt like I had something new to play with. Any suggestions on what to transition to next? Ive been with LG since the g3 😅
If you're looking for a Desktop system like this. Only choices is the ladder of the two.
But Ready-For is looking more flushed out and though then Dex that's took them so long to get to a decent working point.
Only thing that kind is a killer is Motorola's low OS updates of likely 1-2 os. While Samsung is up to 4 OS updates.
Same!!!!! I still have my G3. I'm nostalgic. I just recently upgraded from my LGV60 (Kept that too) to Moto Razr2022 cuz I wanted a flip phone and not the same old candy bar look. Loving this phone and the power behind it. And just learning that it has a desktop mode got me excited to try it out
Hello JuanBagnell, does 'Ready For' support desktop mode on an external monitor? In other words: If I use a Motorola phone with 'Ready For', which comes with DisplayPort (HDMI), can I use that phone as a substitute for a PC? That's what I'm after. From your infos, it seems like an appropriate Motorola phone with 'Ready For' could do exactly that (?). Thanks in advance.
Is it available for edge 30 neo with hdmi cable with a usb c hub for no “wireless latency” (or if I can’t access to a wireless connection to “mirror”)? Thanks
So basically we can have a top notch or close to one, that we could actually use as home computer with having a docking station all setup n configured being connected to phone on base to run actively on a full blown monitor, keyboard, speakers, even make n accept phone calls during such(essentially all as would be with am real pc and boom great setup.
lets see where this goes
OOOOOHHH THIS IS IT!!! 👍👍👍
My aging setup:-
Nvidia Shield K1 tablet (Android Os 7) with a well past its best battery, hence it being plugged in 24/7, is hooked up to my 58" TV and Amp/speakers..
- K1's Mini HDMI port provides sound and picture to TV, where the TV's audio out feeds my 1989 Technics SU-600 'New Class A' integrated amp, which then feeds to my 4 mid range bookshelf speakers (spaced around the room - LOVELY sound 👌😉)
- K1's Micro USB port to a powered USB hub, which provides power to tablet and external drive, plus one port has a dongle for my wireless Keyboard and mouse...
SO this COULD be it! Finally!!
I DID NOT wanna go DEX because of Samsung's bloatware, I was considering one of those high performance Android (Full)/Android TV boxes but most are Chinese and OS updates are... Well... 'Meh' at best..
But this? I'm REALLY intrigued, maybe THIS (Moto G100/Edge+ or even Edge Pro) COULD be the thing to replace my old faithful K1 (bless it, it has been a solid beastie)... 🤔🤔🤔😏 😎🇬🇧
Feels good getting a little excited 😁
@@SomeGadgetGuy I mean, it's not like I need a phone or anything as I currently have a Moto G9+, so, maybe even going with the newer G100 as solely to use as a base unit say. The thing is, what with everything going wireless/screen cast/screen share etc phone manufacturers were reluctant to allow users to utilise the Micro USB/C port they had as a cabled screen connect system, it always had to be 'wireless', and as you know, that isn't always the best way with lag/internet speeds etc... 😏 😎🇬🇧
This is one of the features that made me go with motorola. At least, if my PC croaks, I have some perspective to stay afloat for my day to day tech needs
Well, the Tisofu USB C Hub MacBook HDMI Adapter - 7in1 Docking Station USB C Dongle Dock USB C Hub MultiPort Adapter I bought on Amazon did NOT work on my Moto Edge 2022 (not the + version) when connecting to my Hisense TV or Asus monitor. I have on order an Anker USB C to HDMI Adapter (4K@60Hz) on order. If that does not work, the Moto Edge 2022 is going back as Ready For is not working as advertised. It is basically the most purchased and highest rated adapter. I could have gone with something cheaper that had nearly as much ratings but it is a brand I'm not familiar with. I figure if it can't work with an Anker product, it will not work at all and at this point, I'm not willing to drop $60 for Motorola's Ready For dock.
1st time im hearing of this and its very interesting. i like the shortcut to v, games and productivity apps. thats a very nice idea
Mobile edge is the best desktop experience on dex outside the Samsung browser and Brave isn't bad either
How are you connecting it to the portable monitor? Does the phone support USB-C DP Alt Mode? Or Thunderbolt?
Or do you need a USB-C hub that have HDMI, then connect the hub's HDMI to monitor?
Direct. The phone supports video out, and can power some of the portable monitors out there directly. Or on my desktop monitor, which supports USBC video input, you can connect directly and it'll charge the phone too.
@@SomeGadgetGuy So it's a hit or miss on providing enough power to the portable monitor. Would be nice if I do not need to connect a separate USB-C power cable to the monitor.
Love DEX, just not with my phone, having an ultra wide qhd monitor means it never looks good. That changed with my Tab S7 and now Tab S8 which supports the resolution, and have meant that I haven't needed to buy a "real" computer. I do have a ThinkPad for work, which can handle some heavier applications. But DEX does have it's shortcomings, so this is welcome competition, and we know that Samsung is reactionary when it comes to competitors.
There is free office suite (open office ) for windows but not for android, do you use an office 365 formula for word , PowerPoint,...etc, applications ?
I just got the Motorola Edge 2021....
Purposely to use....Ready For....
I'm....Ready For....it....
Thanks.....
The processors powering our phones nowadays are too powerful for the tiny screens they come with. No wonder phone makers are throttling their devices. A bigger (secondary) screen is very useful when properly implemented
Well said. Modern smartphones of today are so fast that even a midrange-tier smartphone like the Sony Xperia 10 Mk3 can easily outrun any Windows or Chrome laptop with Intel Celeron and Pentium CPUs without a problem.
Thera are some phones that are powerful than a switch lol
Yep I'm so in!
I couldn't figure out how to get the Motorola edge 30 Ultra to work properly with my Nexdock. Fairly disappointing
What a speaking voice my guy!
i have a moto g200 and the ready for is really great. for games is perfect.
i will definitely go and check the same video on your patreon
because i really neeed those 4k on my 1080p monitor
please keep us posted 👍👍
I have a feeling you'd love the Smartisan desktop mode. Please review that... It's light-years ahead of everything you've used.
Why can't we sideload Ready for
Miss my windows phones, would love Microsoft do a desk top app ,update windows rt ,or 10s
Yes, count me in! I'd so love to see Microsoft resurrect the Lumia lineup with modern hardware and Windows 11 ARM.
Gahhh, excellent video but it has just frustrated me. I'd like a good desktop mode in my phone but I think the motorola phones have weak cameras and aren't remotely stylish. The alternative of samsung is a lot more expensive
I mean, the edge+ looks good, has a great main camera and ultra wide, and currently sells for $100 less than a 128gb S22+ to get 512gb of storage. Let's not pretend Samsung is some kind of "default" option for premium android.
@@SomeGadgetGuy Well, it's not quite the style I'd go for at least.
I'd been thinking about waiting for the Vivo x80pro (for a great camera in my price range) or the Meizu 19 (I trust Meizu to make very nice looking phones and I rate FlymeOS). I can't seem to confirm whether Vivo or Meizu support external desktop though. Not to knock motorola, but Samsung competes with these companies better on camera and hardware design imo. So if external desktop is a feature I want whilst still meeting my other needs, I'll probably just have to up my budget to the Samsung.
Either way, its a great video and I appreciate that someone is actually talking about these desktop mode features. Motorola is certainly on my radar for their great desktop mode and aggressive pricing
Kinda depends on how hard you drive your camera, but click here and skip to 1:11 ruclips.net/video/9YblQO8exf4/видео.html
Thank you. Looks much better than the Edge 20 Pro. As you say "refreshingly competitive" is how I'd describe it given the price. Can probably even grab the phone and a Uperfect X for the same price as a samsung
Shame more tech "reviewers" aren't really showing consistent testing so we tech enthusiasts can really see what the current state of competition is and folks wouldn't just have to guess what's going on with other brands....
O edge30 também tem essa opção?
Dex make life more easier
I personally like Dex more (never having used Motorola, sorry 😅) but I'm hyped for competition so they both get better. I have a Dex setup and I love the idea of one device being both platforms. Don't need file transfer if it's all the same device from the start 😄
I also love all the attention this type of thing is getting! I think it has so much potential
a Motorola will be my next phone as my laptop dies and my phone dose as well and i dont have a lot of money not to meantuarn the cost of electricity just 2x in the uk so a pc that takes like 3w/8w max is a nice feature with a 10w screen 13/20w in total with BT keyboard mouse and headphones .
Great video. I am a big fan of Samsung Dex and I think is more error free than Ready for. For instance, if you are wirelessly projecting via Miracast, Netflix plays fine on a Samsung Dex while gives a black screen on a Moto Ready for. Please try as well and let me know if I am wrong. Thank you!
Netflix will only do black screen when a video is paused. It's mainly due to the app i believe. So hopefully Netflix will fix it in general to Motorola. But it playbacks fine on both. This is for both wired and wireless.
I had the same problem happen on LG Velvet 5G's Screen+ mode. It's not really a performance problem. Just a weirdness.
@@KillerRaptorr :) Strange. I would then imagine wireless "Ready For" on G100 (Android 12) is coded in slight different way than Edge 30 Pro cause I am fighting to make it work for some days now. The same applies to Plex, Amazon Prime, etc. While all those are working fine on my Samsung Note 20 Ultra and wireless Dex. Weird....
@@johnkoutromanos2270 I had no problems with any of the streaming services working. Just that it likes to black out when paused. Samsung had this for awhile and i think it's been fixed with the app updates or something with samsungs own updates. So yeah could be.
So maybe it'll get fixed with Motorola whenever.
Maybe try resetting the apps configuration systems to default. Might've disabled or turned something off to cause streaming apps to freak out. They do require DRM for Netflix, Amazon, etc.
I'm running into the same issue using Desktop mode connected to my PC using the downloaded Ready For application for Windows. I tried Movies Anywhere app and it just showed a black screen.
Great vid! What phone are you personally using on a daily basis? Besides the one you review.
My SIM is juggled around a LOT for reviews, but I still fall back on the V60 and the Pixel 6 Pro most days.
Oh thank God a solution I was getting frustrated last night from my galaxy s10 throwing me into a loop because samsungs OWN drivers would not work either the older or newer versions were just broken, I tried everything. It's dumb really. It should be straightforward but it's not
That's a bummer. So sorry to hear that. If you can test drive this, it might be a good alternative.
Best desktop mode ever bravo motorola
What is the little (recorder?) you're wearing on your shirt?
I just got an Edge+ 2022 thanks to your Ready For reviews. 😃 I'm having some trouble getting it connected, however. Any USB C to HDMI cable recommendations? Or perhaps a hub with PD passthrough? I'm hoping to pick up something today if possible.
If USBC cables aren't working, I'd try a thunderbolt cable. That helped with LG Screen+
@@SomeGadgetGuy Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
Samsung, I hope you're watching this. If Dex doesn't improve, my next phone is going to be a Motorolla...
Do forget the Moto Razr and I think Moto fit that had the lapdock and Firefox based desktop mode
Cool.. I will have to consider Moto for next phone.
Dex knows the resolution of external monitors and I don't experience any performance issues when using Dex or on the phone. And I have an older Samsung S20. Dex also integrates well with Samsung televisions which I use all the time. Don't see any reason to change. Nice to have competition though because Dex is a bit rough around the edges.
The only reason dex had gotten more resolution aware in newer updates of oneui is because of competition. But if you're using dex on a phone, it's only putting out higher resolution if you also install good Lock AND activate the right module. If you haven't done that, dex is only 1080p.
Is this on the Edge 30 pro?
I like your Smartphone as a Desktop Videos. But I'm really missing footage on browser performance on Dex and Ready For. In my opinion browers are the most important apps on a phone. Samsung phones struggle with killing apps in the background. How about Motorola? I really need a more polished multitasking experience. Dex caches apps minimized to the taskbar and removes them out of active memory. This way websites often reload when maximizing to fullscreen. Even switching from one maximized browser window to another often reloads websites. I know you can use "The long live app" function with multistar but it only works with one app at a time. Does ready for do better?
done with my g6, got a poco x3 pro for now, my next phone might be motorola's phone if they keep improving like this
Can newer moto power a portable monitor on its own？ I got a moto edge s, once its connected to a portable monitor( without power delivery to the monitor), it just kills the bettery
Depends on the monitor power draw. I've gotten it to work on a few. It'll drain the phone faster.
Great job Moto! Hey... Competition is good. 🙂👍🏾
People seem to forget Motorola did this 10 years ago. I still have my dock and RAZR 2012.
Only time something like this matters to "enthusiasts" is when they can slap Samsung in the title for better search metrics. The real nerds remember where this stuff REALLY comes from...
Actually the Moto Atrix 4G & HD had it too. It was basically a stripped down version of Linux as I remember reading in a Reddit Sub. Some people even modified the Moto dock to use more current devices like Pine Phone, Raspberry Pi, etc.
I still have a Moto Atrix HD but It has a Custom Rom because Stock only went up to 4.4 KitKat. I also had a HTC HD 2.
This changes the game for sure.
How do i charge my phone at the same time as using type c to HDMI to display? Thanks in advance
Most of the portable displays I use will pass power through. If you need to power the display directly, a phone can OFTEN get the job done, but if you plug the display in, then it charges the phone. You can also check out battery powered displays and lapdocks. Check out my reviews on NexDock and Uperfect on this channel.
I used to use dex with my s9. Sadly the usb port broke, so I'm looking for new options. Might switch to moto.
How much to repair the port?
This is great news! Dex is reaching a level where its actually quite usable and I've been playing around with it for a few weeks now.
Competition might make them push forward even more.
Im already finding it super useful for editing the photos I shoot on my phone. I didn't use to bother really because by the time I start importing them to my pc, I might as well use my actual camera.
ahead to dex?
Have you heard of nugaming? Small brand but they are USB C powered glasses. I have them and love them for travel! Surprisingly crisp picture. Just figured I'd mention since you show these big displays for the phone to connect to.
I have not! Thanks for the heads up!
Moto with an eye opener 👀
DAMN! I use my Fold 3 in my car as my stereo, via Dex, attached to a 15" monitor. Wish I could try this phone but I'm still paying for the stupid Fold. I say stupid because the battery life is horrific and picture quality is lacking. But more over this moto has great features that would improve my stereo unit. DAMN!
It feels like as if Motorola take a look at DeX and EMUI Desktop and copy the best bit while giving some real improvement at the same time. I'd love too see what LG can do with Screen+ Desktop Mode for Android 12.
Isn't LG mobile department dead? 🤔
@Sir Meme While LG's smartphone division is dead since last year, they are still giving focus on OS update. In fact, all 2020 models (except for the budget models) is expected to get up to Android 13 OS update.
@@magicbusgb LG Mobile sells department is yes. But their Software department is still in drive till 2024 likely.
Most of their recent phones will get up to 12/13. Velvet included up to 13. So 12 i'm hoping they do some improvements to Screen+. It's decent for most part. But still not as flush as Dex or RF.
Color me impressed.
