Video: *ends*
Me: looks at my phone
My phone: Don't you even think about it!
Underrated comment!
I did like how this offers an option to use with a perfectly functional phone as you can just plug it in and out when ever you like.
That said, I don't see myself building one, considering how affordable laptops are today.
Battery life was impressive though and could easily be extended a great deal.
@@TheAzynder you could buy a lapdock. They are 150-200 dollars and everytime you buy a new phone, you sort of upgrade your laptop too.
Last line reminds me of Harry Potter & Chamber of Secrets...
Hahahaha really funny
This guy never ceases to amaze me with his creativity, watching this on a chromebook.
I'd just be happy to have the tools this man has ...
same
I'v realised since watching these videos I don't have enough aluminium in my life
Haahahaha
Use cardboard instead 🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣🤣
Save your cans. Make a force, melt them down. Make the goods
You can never have enough spare aluminium
"So what cpu does ur laptop have? i7? i9?"
"Snapdragon"
bru
exynos
This Is a Samsung DeX Notebook
i heard qualcomm build snapdragon on laptop...
@@ajemajh Apple Made the new Mac's with ARM based CPU's
Some improvements, use a hub to attach usb ports. The switch for power, sliding it back and forth is going to wear the ports out, so it would be better to switch +5v on the USB line. Modern laptops use an antenna in the screen, not a bad idea by removing the circuit board from the phone and directly mounting it. Also, instead of aluminum, just just pvc. If you want to go all out, put a USBc dock inside.
Also for a launcher, he could have used sentio desktop as it made for this and supports multitasking
Yeah I'm agree on what yiu saying I want to try this to get a new multitaskting smartphone laptop but I need to make a USB ports for my external hard drives to be use with it like what my computer can do
i'd like to know more
@@denis.96Samsung Dex in this instance works perfectly fine
but this project came up with USB-type C port, can it comes up with any other devices or just phones that have that port? I want to rebuild this project for a contest but i don't really know the range of smartphone that can be converted into a laptop. Any suggest??
I love this build! No 3D-printers involved, and that mechanical switch design is genius.
3d printers can be extremely handy. There's even simple and free CAD software to use. Like tinkercad and sketchup.
You can even combine traditional methods and 3d parts to be more efficient and effective.
Today, I was replacing a custom fan led with traditional bulbs. Needed an 8mm spacer that took less than a half hour to model and print.
I highly suggest learning the 3 steps, Model, Slice, and Print. Depending how inclined you are, it can take a week to a month to learn everything.
So this is how Chromebooks are made... interesting
Fact that its right after apple announced arm pcs....this is wack
Can't say that's not true
what do you think google does with all the pixels that it cant sell?
Hey! I use a Chromebook for study and I like It!
Too true lmao
I love this guy already for showing advertisement after the actual project is done instead before or mid process
lookup the browser extension 'Sponsor Block', skips right past all sponsors
Amen! 🙌
It does have ads in beginnen and halfway
@@veerdonk1 just installed it and it's incredible, thank you
have a look how much he makes out of google each year, thens there is the patreon sponsors, then checkout his workshop video which is a room 6/4, he does bloody well for himself really. somebody said why does this guy have so many dislikes, hes not typical british, hes upper middle class from probably a private education, well spoken, articulate and intelligent and the bulk of the english are as thick as two short planks as they voted Boris Johnson in and us out of europe so he can be trumps bedfellow....
Well, the best option (at least for those who have a 3D printer) is to make the housing parts with plastic of the filaments/resins instead of using aluminum because it is cheaper and more practical and obviously you have the artistic freedom to customize whatever you want, resulting in a unique and aesthetically beautiful laptop... or maybe not
yes but you will be limited to a 13" screen or something like that... And I question the strength of the extruded PLA, even ABS.
@@lutuvarka2649 You could make it in multiple parts, but that would obviously hinder the strength too.
Can you please convert my dads Nokia into a gaming computer please !!
😂😂
If you locate the phone holding clips a bit higher, you could use the phone's selfie cam as a webcam
i thought the same
I don't see why nobody didn't think to borrow a laptop after putting phone SIM card into a smart tv, and setting it to by full screen view...
And it would have a better camera than any laptop out right now
Why not use the main camera? Get that twitch streamer level camera
@@LashanR hahaha yess

This guy is such a genious!
@@bbbobnl haha you know this is easy right?
@@juliushuck yeah exactly, I don't understand how people thinks that this is ingenious, he had a lot of great ideas in the past and that build is well made but it's nor original (things like that already exists) or difficult to be made
Brilliant! You are a true genius. One thing I'd like to add is that you could have placed the phone a little bit higher on the back of the screen. That way you're also able to utilize the front selfie camera. I really like your content and want to start my own project but it always holds me back from some reason as it seems to be a lot of work and the lack of knowledge on some of the topics like soldering etc.
I just love to come back to this amazing video when ever I see it, it never gets boring.
An actual legit DIY channel we all need. GENIOUS
Genius. It is ingenious though.
Ikr if only he could do it in 5minutes... Jk
How is it possible that every time I imagine a project, I search RUclips and this guy's already built better than I would've guessed? Ugh.. FINE! I GUESS I'LL FINALLY SUBSCRIBE!

Broken laptop:
me: Throw it into the bin
DIY perks: let's make a spaceship out of it.
Then surely I'm the one who stock your bin for gadgets
Saqy G lmao
how is it possible to throw a laptop ?? the only one i've thrown so far was a cheap Lenovo that its soldered-on SSD was so cheap that it got corrupted after 3 years of use, it was REALLY unfixable :/
heck, even "broken" GPUs can be repaired, by removing its cooler and using some hot air on the dye, i've fixed a Dell Precision's dedicated GPU and a desktop GPU like that :D
Broken things' parts sell for pretty good price.
XD
Suggestion: open the back panel of the phone, find the SMA connector, put SMA Antenna which can be salvaged from an old laptop
yeah phone staying outside annoyed me a lot
But then you cannot use the camera
Also, the whole modularity thing he said
or you could just use acrylic or wood for some panels.
How about using an old laptop case?
Best DIY Channel I have ever seen
Orrr.... You could use a Dead or Old Laptop case and save a bunch of grief!! Great video!!
The best part about this channel is building without having to rely on a 3D printer. Kudos again
yea you just need to rely on a bunch of power tools instead.
Plus having a metric ton cash top blow on sheet aluminium, rivets, electronics, etc which is stupidly expensive
Burh a 3d printer is waaay cheaper than all the equipments which he is using and plus this will only work with a high end samsung phone, which if you dont have then all this is completely useless. I would much rather use a raspberry pi and a 4 inch display than do all this crap lmao.
Are u a pinoy?
But honestly if you are into projects like and similar to this, a 3D printer is useful in a lot of cases
Friend: Are you a mobile or PC Gamer?
Me: Its complicated...

Great video. I have several 'dead' phones and even a couple of old 'dead' laptops for parts. This has inspired me to have a play around. Would never even have thought of this. Thank you.
Any of yours support video out from usb-c? I'm having terrible luck with that
@@MelodicTurtleMetalhope you solved it and I have a question about it , how does the phone charge , the charger is for the powerbank and the plug in the phone is for the display , does the board charge the phone?
New subscriber just getting started/interested in diy electronics. I like that your projects don't need a 3D printer and clear instructions cheers from Alberta Canada 👋
If the phone holder is a little bit higher so that the top bezel of the phone sticks up a little bit, you'll get a functional webcam as well!
I was going to say the same thing
Yup
ikr..front facing cam for s8 not that bad
This project indeed is really good. At home use the "Notephone" for basic online stuff like email, surfing, movies, music, which are much more enjoyable in andorid than Windows shit. So our main phone can last longer because of minimum usage like text and call.
The appearance might bother you tho
Dude, it has more ports than a macbook..
I like apples processing speed. It’s INSANE. But they look for money everywhere and the new MacBook doesn’t even have a USB A port so now you have to buy the adapter
this guy is awesome one of my fav channels !!
this is true talent with all materials

You're the most creative DIY guys on youtube, much better than a lot of "restoration" guys out there.
Why did I like this video so much, I would truly like to have a DIY laptop as that and connect it to my phone even though it's not broken. Very ingenious!
I like this guy so much, I didn't skip the add.
me too
This would be a great recycling project for unwanted phones: to become Internet devices for the less fortunate in our world. Well done - Cheers!
To be honest, they already are internet devices for the less fortunate of our world, if they even have internet. Where you do think all those used phones people sell or throw away or recycle go? A lot of the electronics recycling companies make a profit by selling the electronic waste to other countries for a profit. And considering they get electronics for cheaper than new, which they can repair and sell in their country, why would they refuse?
Unfortunately, it's the internet itself which is lacking or cost-prohibitive in the places which need it the most.
Yes!!!! This would be very good
@@SapioiT Would be good to have proper image of so called developed economy countries where living for regular folk is quite harsh. Otherwise people from world shitholes take imaginary tales about western wonderlands as granted and came here in result, causing huge problems for both sides.
It depends on how old the phone was because it could be considered a security risk for some of the more security required apps (like banking) due to not being able to update android enough to plug security leaks. I like the fact that phones can be unlocked but they really also need to be able to be rooted remove the crapware from the mfg and would allow other options to keep many of these devices to become ewaste (not everyone recycles or sells off their old devices, they simply throw them away) by allowing enthusiastic people to come together as a community to develop an OS that can run on them. Many of these flagship android phones hardware are much better than some of the basic arm chromebooks, it's a shame that they can't be recycled into a diy laptop or chromebook instead.
@@MrWirelesscaller Especially since there could be a kit similar to this one which can be bought ready-made, which one could buy and stick the old phone into, after replacing the operating system with one like LineageOS and Replicant, or after updating to a newer Android version. And depending on the capabilities of the hardware (most important part being the screen, in terms of price), we could get nice smartphone-to-laptop conversion kits, maybe even adding custom cooling for the phone, with the aid of either a thermal pad or lots of thermal paste, or even removing the case and battery from the phone (or replacing the battery with a smaller one, to leave more room for cooling but not shut down if power is cut for a few seconds), and directly cool the other components, especially since there are lots of small and tiny stick-on cooling fins, and funneling the air from a fan into the right places is not difficult nor expensive.
I have watch a few of his builds now , and I can not shake the blue Peter flashbacks I get from the way he presents lol , I keep expecting him to say , here's one I made earlier, lol .
I loved your explanation
If everyone recycled old electronics like he does.... what a world that would look like
Africa and India wouldnt swim in heavy metal pollution now while most tech giants would struggle for bussiness. also Apple stores wouldnt have those week long queues before a product launch.
@Роман Мавроян Funny.
Unfortunately, most people don't have the skills, tools, or time to recycle electronics like this.
But it would be awesome nonetheless.
You end up wasting more material and time. The display itself is $88 and that doesn't include any of the reset of the items. Just for $100 you can get a decent laptop and install Linux to do a lot more than a phone SoC.
Recycling. As in YOU’RE NOT BUYING THE PARTS. You’re reusing the parts you already have.
Next month he'll be showing us how to make the Hubble Telescope out of a used toilet paper roll.
lol
🤣
next month he's gonna tell us how to make a second universe with a snow globe
Good job bro you are a master at fixing !!!
This guy is one smart person and best RUclipsr I've seen 😀
Great build , but small improvements would have made it even better :
1. Sticking the phone little higher with the sugru , he can even use the front camera for video calls !
2. All black design
For the point no. 1 , I was thinking the same.
Excellent idea!!!
Feel free to show us yours. LMFAO!
Was thinking the same....
No BSOD
Why didn't you use a type c port to charge the whole thing,why use a barrel type connector
I was thinking the same thing. He hyped up usb c in the begging only to use connector people probably don't have
my exact thoughts too since it's a powerbank
True
barrel connectors are easy to mount on this type of frame, and are less prone to breakage, while mounting a micro or type-C USB port on it will be much more complicated and easy to break.
@@aniruddhkashyap467 there are usb type c ports available that are made just for projects like this to be mounted easily on anything.
I know I'm 3 years too late, but would that work for the s23 ultra too? My phone fell out of my back pocket when I was working and landed face first on a wooden deck from 2 stories up. And I don't want to just throw it away. Everything still works, but the screen is messed up like the one in your video.
Yes it will work. S23u also supports dex
What a nice tutorial! I want to do this just for fun. Thank you 🙏

Why not make the charging port usb-c? This just seems like adding extra steps for no reason
The power bank may not be able to charge that way
@@kerodfresenbetgebremedhin1881 Why wouldn't it charge? It's just as simple as changing the barrel jack to a USB C board, the data pins aren't used so those can be left out.
This is just a way of showing the basic idea, several features can be changed to your liking. He probably didn't have an usb-c charging port on hand. That's also why he often says you "can" and not "you have to".
