This is still true 3 yrs later. For adapters I found only one that says for phones but the power port is for laptops. I need USB C power, dual HDMI, and USB to power some devices.
This is definitely the future of computing. Using a phone as a desktop. Very neat ! Would be enough for the vast majority of users who only use their pc for mail, youtube, banking and light gaming.
@Your MOVE There’s no point in doing that. The cool thing about turning your android phone into a desktop is that you can have on device for everything. You can take it outside and use it as a phone but then bring it home, plug it into the dock and then you have a very decent desktop PC. I could even imagine that there are some docking stations out there where you could have it as a laptop with the phone sitting in a space for the trackpad. I reckon this could really be the future of computing where you only need one device to do 99% of your work. I mean, unless you’re doing very strenuous processing or gaming, phones are more than powerful for pretty much every daily task that the average person is going to get up to
@@jamesorrell7462 I agree - this is the future. Small devices become both more powerful and more energy efficient - so in few years we could have a really monster PC that doesn't get that hot. And you take it everywhere with you, so that would be really convenient. Just need a monitor/keyboard/mouse and a dock for your phone, and can play and work on your system anywhere. BUT I think android (or ios) is not the best operating system for that. They are way too limitting. Those are really "mobile" operating systems, they might work fine for on-the-go but fail epicly when trying to use it as desktop. My hopes lie within projects like postmarketos, ubports, pinephone and similar, that try to give you full PC/desktop experience on small device. I think that in few years it will mature enough to be perfectly usable.
@@JackJack-xj8ei I think the target for things like Dex and whatever Apple have now brought out is Chromebook owners. Android and iOS are more equivalent to that than other desktop OS. So I'm assuming that's the marker they're going after. Why buy a Chromebook if your phone can do everything it does?
@@jamesorrell7462 Motorola did just that in 2011 with the Motorola Atrix. They even had a laptop-like dock so you could "insert" the smartphone and experience a sort of desktop linux OS. I remember thinking that will be the future back then, but for some reason (most probably poor performance and/or compatability ) it didn't attract people and the idea was under developed until Samsung's Dex. Seems like now it's getting some serious attention from manufacturers, which is good.
@@Dtr146 Not with any type. This function have only some Phones, usually those from highend S line but maybe some others too, if you search the model to find out about.
Oh thats going to take at least a century and would need some heavy investment from laptop apps to get ported over to the Android/ios environment Not that its Impossible, but that It would take people willing to move from laptops and the freedom those machines give you in terms of operating systems and softwares, and It would take the actual phones being Just as powerfull as laptops, and i dont think this will be even possible due to the sheer ammount of size a laptop has vs a phone, you can allways fit more tech in bigger hardware.
@@slick6227 A lot of desktop apps already exist on mobile in one form or the other, and porting the rest would certainly take less than a century. Phones don't need to be "just as powerful as laptops", they only need to be powerful enough to fulfill the needs of most laptop users, and, honestly? We're pretty much there already, I personally struggle to think of anything I actually need a laptop for (outside of my work, but that's because I develop software for a living). So yeah, laptops may be the next piece of tech that phones drive to near obsoletion, like they did with digital cameras, watches, or, arguably, portable game consoles (Steam Deck and Switch still thrive, of course, but I'd argue that SD isn't really a console and Switch's sole saving grace is the strength of its exclusives).
Dex on my Samsung 10+ works great for the PC part, but for Zoom, I needed a short (8"-40") selfie stick with tripod to get the camera pointed properly. With wireless keyboard & mouse, its a great setup.

Multiple devices with compromises, so you need to buy different devices and pump up profits of company and destroy environment.
All I ask for is Steam on mobile... phones are already authentic point of being able to run many triple A games of last gen and some from today's even. Just need that cross over.
@@info-load7952 on the flipside i could imagine an open phone with interchangeable parts (even being able to hotswap the SoC chip) and an open environment that can run any OS you want. Sadly it's hard to see a path towards that in the current industry, but it's not that hard to imagine that one day we could all be treating / using our phones the exact same way we use our PCs today.
Holy cow! My mind is blown. I bought a Samsung recently and I wanted to explore how to use it to the full potential. Definitely did not expect this cool capabilities
Or have dual monitor connected to windows directly and use Dex for PC software in one of the screen. This will use Keyboard/mouse input connected to PC for controlling Dex and you don't have to press any buttons.
The idea is quite good, although I don't like how they placed the ports. Already with 2 cords attached it doesn't look like a sleek setup and you even didn't use a power cord. Would have preferred to have HDMI and USB-C power at the back and maybe the phone connector on the top of the unit with a way shorter cable (and yeah I know you could also use the phone in landscape, would still work and look cleaner imo)

@@antscape yeah, that's great indeed! On the other hand i'm just gratefull for all their failures which got me 2x VR360 to play around with, a top of the line phone none wanted and therefore went second hand for cheap and a pretty beefy speaker add-on.... all together for €70/$84. The value i get tinkering with those parts is just awesome !
Currently use a G5 with an old dell mini netbook and scrcpy. I have to limit scrcpy's bitrate and resolution because the PC is so weak but it works. I can even play games using a Bluetooth gamepad directly connected to the phone.
This is definitely the first time I see a smartphone holder with HDMI and USB ports. If I can get this attached to a lapdock like the NexDock Touch, that would be great.
maybe add option to turn it on but I myself rather have 0,1 second resizing time wasted then watch 1 second animation betwean every resize etc....I rather have snap quick PC then good looking but slow one
Very impressive and usefull gadget shown here. Especially for those who need a desktop PC in a few situations from time to time without the willing to buy a real PC. Also when there is not enough space at home to hold a big PC this can become an interesting solution. Thanks for this review.
This is great and all, but as far as android being a "PC" when plugged into a display, well... that's been happening since Android 2.0, and even before.... with official docks existing as far back as the Note 1. With USB, KBD, Mouse, web cam, printer, scanner, mic, external drive, and more all having been supported since back then as well. There's a reason android has always been better than iOS for anything that actually matters since inception.... and this is part of it for sure. Though it goes much much MUCH further.
@@Tuulos Android doesn't only do the same thing, down to a per permission level, per app... but you can even turn on and off any certain particular permission per app... regardless of what the dev insists or intends. You can literally turn off contact access to a phone book app... or camera access to a camera app... or gps to anything, etc etc... totally a la carte
It's neat that it has a built in usb switch and phone stand, but I've got a very simple question that tends to get glossed over - Does it support more than 1080p on DeX mode? Sounds simple enough, right? It is until you realize that Samsung likes to play games with what hubs support what resolutions - typically their branded hubs enable higher resolutions. This, combined with the intentional lack of battery charging cap option on the phone line ultimately means I don't bother with DeX anymore. I'm all for what it COULD be, but until they stop dinking around with artificial limitations, I'm good. Still a neat dock if it works.
The people yelling at 3:30 scared the living hell out of me, I was in the middle of backing my semi truck into a spot and I have noise cancelling headphones on, I thought somebody was yelling at me -.-
I have to say it's good. Though 1st too many cables. The phone has Dexs already so you don't need the dock only type c to hdmi cable will do. 2nd baseus has a docking station that you just plug the phone into the dock and no need for cables apart from the one to the monitor. Though I do like this standing dock. Great review 👍

@@burgessd4994 idk why it's not supported yet because if u go into the developer mode thing it gives you the option to force desktop mode on secondary display
I can say that I have a BeeLink GTR-Pro and their quality is very impressive. If this dock is built anything like that then their price is justified IMO . I'm a big fan of BeeLink so this looks like another winner.
Anyway you could do raffles some of the extra gadgets you buy on the weekly? You could even do a patrion for tickets and make money for the channel with it ....just seems like less of a waste only if you dont already have a use for them
I wish there was a dock with a telephone handset. It is more convenient to have long discussions on a handset. I can't tell you the number of time I've dropped my cell or the call trying to get comfortable. Also, not everyone uses speaker or hands free.
This looks cool. I just wish it can also do type-C to type-C video out while still being able to use the USB ports. This can be useful for touchcreen monitors. Samsung phones support touch via this connection but doesn't seem to be supported by all based on my test on a Huawei phone which just outputs the display without touch.
is there anything like this but with a screen on it? where you can just hook your phone straight to the external screen and make your phone into a tablet?
@@wiskymo9687 I'm not too sure about that. GPU performance would probably not be that great (if at all, due to API differences) but I think CPU performance could actually be decent.
Because wireless mirror is like making your phone uploading high res video in realtime to monitor. Wireless good for powerpoint/presentation, but wired better for watching videos/game
I just connect my Dex to my Windows PC wirelessly and put Dex on a second desktop environment. I can bounce back and forth on the single monitor with no issues at all...
Hello Mr. I've got question about connecting family of s21 series to adapter like above in video. Recently i'm receving messages on my samsung with error of using not recommended by samsung accesories. Before everything with my dock(hdmi, couple of usb's) works just fine, on TV or external monitor. I think it's caused by latest updates. Can you confirm that with your model? For the reply and great content, big thanks! Regards.
So here’s my interest..you get a phone in your possession that has a broken lcd AND digitizer. Would this work to access the device, or do androids generally have a security system that block usb devices and hdmi output? This would be an AMAZING tool for my shop if it allows access like this..

I didn't have this experience when I plugged my ps4 controller in ! It would only work with Bluetooth, but when I would hard wire the controller only the touch pad would work ... I'm using a galaxy s6
On my TinyInOne monitor for my lenovo tiny, there is a button on the front that swaps input, it also swaps the USB ports, camera, microphone and speakers over to my M1 Mini. I tried, and my Sony Xperia 1 supports second monitor, its a little bit jank and would prever to have full linux instead of android, but at least i can do many windows at the same time on the second screen, and 2 on the phone screen.
I subscribed and liked, first-time viewer, my question is this: in theory, do you think it will be possible to use ADODE PREMIERE PRO to perform top-level video editing with the new upcoming Asus RogPhone6 (ultimate edition), given all the correct peripherals, hardware and software? Any ideas recommendations
As long as the information transferred isnt allot. One could MAYBE have such work via remote desktop. As in the heavy lifting would then be done on the server, not your phone. I am planing to try this in context of Citrix usage.

is there anything like this but with a screen on it? where you can just hook your phone straight to the external screen and make your phone into a tablet?
I'd love to see if x86 emulation would be possible in Dex mode. You know Steam and things... ;)
He did it subscribe 👏
it would simply to slow.
@@wiskymo9687 I'm not too sure about that. GPU performance would probably not be that great (if at all, due to API differences) but I think CPU performance could actually be decent.
@@detroxx56784 I would think opposite. GPu would work fine but cpu would run bad like any normal arm to X86
Bro what monitor you using? All your review is the best I've seen
Its better over cable… mirroring has a horrible reactiontime and also low res output ^^
True, was playing Grid auto sport while mirroring and it has a 1 sec delay
Because wireless mirror is like making your phone uploading high res video in realtime to monitor. Wireless good for powerpoint/presentation, but wired better for watching videos/game
I just connect my Dex to my Windows PC wirelessly and put Dex on a second desktop environment. I can bounce back and forth on the single monitor with no issues at all...
DeX on Windows is different (worse) than running DeX straight to a monitor.
Hello Mr. I've got question about connecting family of s21 series to adapter like above in video. Recently i'm receving messages on my samsung with error of using not recommended by samsung accesories. Before everything with my dock(hdmi, couple of usb's) works just fine, on TV or external monitor. I think it's caused by latest updates. Can you confirm that with your model? For the reply and great content, big thanks! Regards.
Great channel for learning about devices🔥🔥🔥
Any idea if the Samsung tab A9 plus is able to have the same direct 1-1 mirroring and also workable in DEX mode ?
Awesome tutorial vid ETA Prime bro!
Does anything like this exist for IPhone!?
Myself I have a Galaxy s20 but I am asking for family
Take care!!
Is the DB Alt mode or HDMI over USB hardware-based or software in a mobile phone?
Can you charge and dock at the same time.. I think the Moto G100 cannot, which seems daft.
What’s the display lag like on this? Feel pretty good for gaming?
So here’s my interest..you get a phone in your possession that has a broken lcd AND digitizer. Would this work to access the device, or do androids generally have a security system that block usb devices and hdmi output? This would be an AMAZING tool for my shop if it allows access like this..
Does this dock work with USB Keyboard and Mouse ? Is there anything like this for iphone ?
is there a way to get mouse support without those little dongles?
basically bluetooth mouse like a bluetooth keyboard?
If it is a normal Android phone with Bluetooth You can pair a keyboard / mouse / XBone One controller to the Phone.
the link for the Expand X is not working, and its no longer $39.99 its $56.90
Sorry, but don't they sell them on amazon? Thank you
I wonder what would be the cheapest phone to comfortably with no bottlenecking stream through steam link or parsec?
Why is the USB port blue when it's USB 2.0?
this can also be used as a phone holder
I hope you do a review of the new 2021 Barnes and Noble Nook. I was wondering how it do with emulation & HD streaming.
Does it work with ASUS ROG Phone 6?
Thanks MUCH for anoother great share and product! I will put on my list to get one soon I hope! SHeers and all the BEST to you!
Hopefully, we can learn the winner of the April Giveaway :D
Can we have display output using micro USB
Can we connect tow monitors? One via USB C and one via HDMI for DEX to run on both?
Hello , Please can you help me to answer about Sony Xperia XZ Premium, how can I used wired HDMI or DP or USBC connect to monitor? it seem not work cause all the ways?
Sir Can I Connect My Old Monitor like ( 2016 Model )
Can you run an external hard drive through this as well? (1T)
Does the device, in this case the phone, require DP Alt Mode?
Hey great vid.. looking to get one but cant find for sale anywhere.. you have any other suggestion that do the same thing? Desperate to game on a larger screen without lag etc. TIA. keep up the great work
I didn't have this experience when I plugged my ps4 controller in ! It would only work with Bluetooth, but when I would hard wire the controller only the touch pad would work ... I'm using a galaxy s6
I am waiting for killer flagship of Galaxy Tablet to try out this product on my campus
On my TinyInOne monitor for my lenovo tiny, there is a button on the front that swaps input, it also swaps the USB ports, camera, microphone and speakers over to my M1 Mini. I tried, and my Sony Xperia 1 supports second monitor, its a little bit jank and would prever to have full linux instead of android, but at least i can do many windows at the same time on the second screen, and 2 on the phone screen.
Very curious about wired gaming headsets on this. Would I be able to connect through the USB port and utilize both audio and mic?
Not to a USB to Headset. But if you want to use a USB to Audio 3.5mm jack. Yes. I use a Ugreen one and it works great. Picks up mic and audio.
Will this thing drain battery faster because it keep charging?
One feature I liked about my old Note 9 was DeX. I miss it sometimes.
Your note 10 or note 20 has it as well....
@@samrod1989sr I prolly should've mentioned it but I ended up moving to a Pixel 5.
How come it does not work with the Note line past 10+? Like my Note 20 ultra 😒
Why won't it work? It's USB c
I subscribed and liked, first-time viewer, my question is this: in theory, do you think it will be possible to use ADODE PREMIERE PRO to perform top-level video editing with the new upcoming Asus RogPhone6 (ultimate edition), given all the correct peripherals, hardware and software?
Any ideas recommendations
As long as the information transferred isnt allot. One could MAYBE have such work via remote desktop. As in the heavy lifting would then be done on the server, not your phone. I am planing to try this in context of Citrix usage.
@@Lobos222 thanks, let me know
@@mauriciomelgarejo7541 I cant get it. My phone, Samsung A32 5g, doesnt support USB C DP alt mode, it seems. And you need that for this device :(
When you plug in the charging port does it allow for the phone to Fast Charge?
I'd also like to know. Can this dock charge the phone at all while in use?
@@vm20709
Hopefully we'll get a response.... still waiting... haven't been able to find an answer from where on the charging status part
Will the mice and keyboard swap work even without to plug the smartphone into a monitor?
Those USB Type-A ports, are they really USB 2.0? They look like USB 3+? And if they are 3+, can you test their speed, please?
My thought exactly. Blue USB ports are (usually) USB 3.0 or higher, but these are clearly marked USB 2.0. Kinda confusing...
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought! I saw that blue color and the 5 extra connectors inside. Ain't that USB 3?
Can you test this with a non Samsung Android phone? Id like to see if it works with a Sony Xperia or something like that.
You can use good router and wireless dex. Lot of simple.
This kinds of content man!
does the phone charges while you're connected to the 2nd screen?
