Man, Samsung should double down DeX, i think its a really pro feature. I think Samsung should sell a laptop enclosure for DeX, plug n play, and voila, a laptop powered by DeX. Your video prove that DeX setup is possible. This is the best DeX setup you can build! Great video!
Especially with a 16GB phone like the S20 Ultra. Untapped market. _Or_ an adapter package for the Tab S6; which I just happen to own. I'd reserve the use of it as a laptop on-the-go but primarily as an entertainment center while surf fishing on the New Jersey shore.
@@TralfazConstruction an adapter package? What for? The tab S6 can run DeX on screen. Just attach the keyboard track pad or pair a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse and your off
yeah different companies are experimenting with lapdocks. basically looks like a laptop but has no components inside, it just runs off your phone.. hp had a good looking one. and then the nexdock is in kickstarter.. but they are all pricey for the same price you can get a real laptopp.. but if samsung made and official one priced around $200-$300 then it would be great.
Cool proof of concept but that's pretty much it. It's bigger, heavier, more expensive and has less features than current Ultrabooks. Still interesting though.
@@canoopsy HI. Sorry been doing research and can't seem to find an answer but just want to know is this the same Dex model that was released initially for the S8.
Dex is so practical these days that... Has been about a year I'm using it as my main computer. Really. And loving the convenience of always have all my files with me. Even better now with the possibility to use on Windows. Killer feature, I'm living the future.
@@dvanduser now, if you connect the phone to a. PC/notebook, it will automatically ask if you use Dex. Same way that works with screens, same presentation. A great thing is that drag and drop works between platforms. th-cam.com/video/C5cuv9afBeQ/w-d-xo.html
hey, your comment was 4 years ago but i just wanna ask how do you plug a flash drive when using Dex? because mine won't read the flash drive when I plug it.
joel subash don’t think they reinvented anything. Go grab a galaxy s20, go with your day, and tell me how do you find a monitor with usb c connection for you to plug into for the Dex functionality.
And this phone is faster than 75 percent of computers. 8 core cpu @ 1.8-2.8 , a ps5 running in single core mode is 8 cores @3.8 ghz. The base s20 ultra has 12gb of ram , after putting apps to sleep my s20 ultra only uses 4gb on the os. Leaving a whole 8 gb free for apps. And there is a 16gb version as well. I believe only the US s20 ultra got the snapdragon 865 though and the cheaper models have it Aswell, but if u want more than 8gb of ram u need to get the ultra
@@tabernaclejones6115 It is faster at doing certain tasks than x86 but data crunching is not one of them. Tab s7+ is slow when opening queries in PowerBI and OLAP connections in Excel.
Came across this video while trying to decide a new more mobile set up for myself. I was looking at the new Samsung Note 10 as my whole work world is about to change. This is exactly what I was needing to act as a laptop replacement while on the road. Although I prefer a fuller sized keyboard, mainly because small folding ones never seem to work well for me, the rest of the set up looks good. With what I would have to spend on a laptop or 2 in 1 while still carrying two phones, this just makes it easier to perform that transition. Thanks for the ideas.
You are the first youtuber that posts links for CANADA and the US thank you so much. I hate pressing a link and I'm notified that I need to go to the Canadian store where it is out of stock.
Great to see dex getting more attention. I want an older note 9 just for this feature because. Such a versatile function is mind blowing to be not some premium paid feature behind a paywall.
Thank you for this! I've been wanting a better Dex setup than what I currently have and bought this display as soon as I finished watching the video. I have the same keyboard you showed and it's perfect for travel use; it does take a minute to get comfortable with the key spacing due to the fold but afterwards you barely notice it.
I've never left Apple since iPhone 3GS, and this past month I finally pulled a trigger on Galaxy Note 20. Oh my God. I've been missing out! All the freedom, integration, features, functions! I am totally loving the Android ecosystem, or is it just Samsung's ecosystem?
Thanks for all the great Dex setups! 😊 Can you also do a video about the cons of using this kind of a setup (thermal issues, effects on battery, memory, and is it usable without a keyboard and mouse?) Thanks!
I have the s10+ and I'm looking to get a set up potentialy What's the power of DeX? Would it be able to do actions typically PCs could do? Such as say a PC locked thing such as modded minecraft ? Or oldschool ps3 or ps3 emulators?
I've had this setup for a while. I fitted my screen into the top of a zero haliburton 'money' aluminium case. And have a battery pack keyboard and mouse and all my papers in the case too. Unique
I bought everything in video and it's coming today in mail, I can't wait. I love making vlog videos with my son just for fun. Having the ultra and this new set up will HELP me so much editing my videos. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 photography is so much fun. Thanks for your help 👍
Looks like everyone here bought that monitor because it's now out of stock lol. Hopefully they restock, I love your setup! Side note, Samsung has been throwing wireless dex in our faces for 5 years. WHEN SAMSUNG, WHEN?!?!
Does Samsung Dex support 2K or 4K resolutions? How about higher frame rates like 120hz? Do you need any special cables or power to get these display options to run?
Looking at getting an S20 Ultra purely for this setup. How far are we from wireless Video connections from portable devices to portable monitors? Can't wait!
I'm going to build a dex setup. I'm really considering this monitor, but I might pick a different keyboard and mouse. I like this monitor because it has the internal battery, I've seen so many setups with external batteries taped to the back of the monitor. also having my phone mounted to the monitor isn't really a concern for me. My plan for this is to have a light weight setup to travel to school with, my laptop is heavy and my charger is big and clunky. and then an extra monitor to use with my laptop at home for writing my research papers. I also see it as being really good for lesson planning after I graduate. With apps like google docs I will be able to work anywhere.
Dex has been around for some time. It did get a little better over time but I still don't get the advantage, even of a setup you show in this video. If I have to lug around an external screen, an keyboard and a mouse, I might as well just bring my MacBook and do proper work. Dex on the Samsung galaxy tab s4 on the other hand, is super useful. It literally changes your tablet into a laptop, just by using a keyboard cover. No need for an external screen and all you carry extra is a few centimeters in thickness of the keyboard cover.
DeX is awesome. I hope that some day Google will see this and implement a chrome os into android which works just as DeX does. I mean, all of them flagships out there do have good enough components and large enough storage to be able to replace laptops with just one portable display and keyboard.
Before seeing this video I've been wanting to make a setup like this, and dude that's so clean. I haven't checked the links so idk the prices but I'm hoping to find cheaper options as money is pretty tight unfortunately.
The Future should be like the phone will connect wirelessly so you can use use it. I our days we need to use laptop or pc but also checking our phone for message and sometime answer message. Nice video
I am really happy that Samsung picked up this vision. First theorised by the folks at Ubuntu if I am not mistaken, they had the idea of a phone running Ubuntu Touch plugging into peripherals and then running a desktop class version of Ubuntu. Then Microsoft picked it up with Windows Phone. It would have died there, but Samsung thought it to be a great idea and introduced DeX just around the time that Microsoft called time of death on Windows Phone. I actually hope that one day Google copies Samsung and makes it possible for Android phones plugged into peripherals to start running Chrome OS. That would be huge for those that already use Chrome OS in their daily lives and are happy with the somewhat underpowered Chromebooks that are everywhere now. They may be better served with their premium midranger/flagship smartphone and something like a NexDock or a setup in the office. The Snapdragon 865 has proven to be a powerful and very capable chipset, with greater performance than an Intel Celeron that would be in a midrange Chromebook, for example.
Outstanding setup Best Dex setup I have seen only one thing I am going to have to change is the tape for the phone mount I am going to use double locking tape so I can take the mount off for better travel other than that spot on
I just hook it up to my laptop, and bam! The only downside is that you can't use Netflix or Hulu, but if you connect your phone to a monitor, you'll be able to use those aforementioned apps in DeX mode. I assume the same applies to TVs.
I'm quite torn when it comes to setups like these: On the one hand, it really IS incredibly portable and the ability to use my Note as a makeshift-Desktop via Dex has its charme. On the other hand, that would mean for me to carry the external display with me, and if I do that I might just as well ditch the entire Dex mentality and take my X280 with me instead. And "just" carrying both the external screen AND my Laptop makes stuff just more complicated instead of more simple :/ Any ideas / things I might have missed?
look up "lapdock" basically a laptop without the motherboard so no need for a separate wonky keyboard (this video is so you can get the point) th-cam.com/video/BvNLWcFfDAI/w-d-xo.html
I love set ups like this, Im all about portability so this is some good stuff in my book. Im an Apple head but I got my respect for Samsung, they make great devices.
Been eyeing this screen up since October when ETA Prime reviewed it. It's a bit pricey though. Maybe I'll consider it when I get my tax return. I absolutely love Samsung DeX. I have the HP Elite lapdock but it always takes 20 minutes of tinkering to get audio out of it, then realize the phone speakers are way better anyways. I'd love a setup like this that just "works" without audio routing issues and can still slip in a bag when I need it to.
You forgot to mention something... How much runtime can you reasonably expect since you aren't using a battery pack or the walled charging system? In order to run DeX, you have to be charging the phone, so it looks to me like you're deriving that charge from the monitor's internal battery, and you're video,/audio out is through the monitor's USB C port. Or is the charging requirement only if you're casting via HDMI? In that case, is the phone running solely from its own battery and the monitor is running on its own battery as well? Overall, I like your system, mainly because of its simplicity. It's one wire, wireless keyboard and mouse, bracket for the phone, and a touch screen monitor.
1)Does dex support for galaxy s8 pc with usb cable or hdmi cable? and how did you connect the keyboard and mouse, can it connect to the S8? 2)Can I connect the phone to the television with the usb type-c to hdm with galaxy S8 and use the screen of the phone as a mouse?
I rlly reccomend, i did sold all mine PC/laptops and use S20 Ultra + NexDock 2 device (laptop build but only screen, battery and keyboard). So i got mine Exac PC setup wherewer i go. And at home i left mine 30" gaming screen with DEX stand so wejn i come home i got mine gaming station - atm League Of Legends roon super smoth in FULL SPEC - no lag/delay/low fps. Super, super practical!
I plan to make the same setup too! Can we take down notes on the touchscreen? What stylus pen is compatible with it? Thanks for the advise, Bro. More power to your channel! 💖
This is a great and practical set up depending how you look at it. I personally have this same set up with the Galaxy Note 10+ the screen is great mainly because its my computer screen through Dex or i can use the HDMI input for my SNES mini or PS4 If i want when i go to the lake with the family
I was looking for a great solution for my Xbox game streaming service, this is perfect. granted the device is a little expensive but you can also turn it into a tv for use out side. thanks.
I have the DeX station and I'm not very happy that the Z Flip does not support it yet apparently it has the hardware such an expensive phone and no DeX have to carry on using my Note 8 as my computer is broken. Thanks for a great review 👍
Dude .... Samsung also has Galaxy Tab S6. No need to build anything. It's also included a Galaxy pen. Just buy keyboard cover + some USB-C hub as u needed then grab and go. Wireless headphone is recommended if needed (Because there are only 1 USB-C). Tab S6 also included 4 speakers with Dolby Atmos and its brilliant. (Dolby Atmos also work with headphone) My Setup is TAB S6 + Keyboard cover + Vention USB-C Hub 6 in 1 (1xHDMI, 1XNetwork LAN, 1xDC input, 3xUSB 3.0 Type-A) It works decently, I even replaced my laptop with this one for a month. The hub may be toasty but it works really well. I can connect my laptop to LAN, changing IP, SSH, remote desktop, draw a diagram, edit some sheets, play games or watch Netflix while open google chrome. Connect to the external monitor, mouse, keyboard and it practically an ultra-slim portable laptop for me. Battery life is also good, 7000 mAh is enough to run dex with an external monitor, mouse, keyboard, LAN for a day. If you charge while working, the battery will not reduce at all. If have any question, I'll try my best to answer you.

Do you have the Keyboard case that Samsung has for the Tab S6?
From the beginning of dex, I found out it was unique and futuristic.. damn, they deserve for that price!

2)Can I connect the phone to the television with the usb type-c to hdm with galaxy S8 and use the screen of the phone as a mouse?
Sedat Özalp the Galaxy S8 is compatible with Dex, bit you have to buy the Dex setup
I rlly reccomend, i did sold all mine PC/laptops and use S20 Ultra + NexDock 2 device (laptop build but only screen, battery and keyboard). So i got mine Exac PC setup wherewer i go. And at home i left mine 30" gaming screen with DEX stand so wejn i come home i got mine gaming station - atm League Of Legends roon super smoth in FULL SPEC - no lag/delay/low fps. Super, super practical!
Glad I found this channel! Your videos are so good!
We read the same books. I'm starting "You can't hurt me". Just finishing "Everything is Figureoutable" by Marie Forleo
That's a badass setup
I plan to make the same setup too! Can we take down notes on the touchscreen? What stylus pen is compatible with it? Thanks for the advise, Bro. More power to your channel! 💖
This is a great and practical set up depending how you look at it. I personally have this same set up with the Galaxy Note 10+ the screen is great mainly because its my computer screen through Dex or i can use the HDMI input for my SNES mini or PS4 If i want when i go to the lake with the family
You should check out the Asus portable monitor, it also has a built in battery and is touch screen. Been rocking it for a few months now
I was looking for a great solution for my Xbox game streaming service, this is perfect. granted the device is a little expensive but you can also turn it into a tv for use out side. thanks.
Hi what is your wallpaper?mind to share
Well, I use my Galaxy Tab S6 for Dex.
The Microsoft Arc Mouse is a pretty neat mouse to use with this setup.
Not the NexDock?
These custom setup contents are really interesting. Keep up the good work!
I have the DeX station and I'm not very happy that the Z Flip does not support it yet apparently it has the hardware such an expensive phone and no DeX have to carry on using my Note 8 as my computer is broken. Thanks for a great review 👍
Keep making these!
Dude ....
Samsung also has Galaxy Tab S6. No need to build anything.
It's also included a Galaxy pen. Just buy keyboard cover + some USB-C hub as u needed then grab and go.
Wireless headphone is recommended if needed (Because there are only 1 USB-C).
Tab S6 also included 4 speakers with Dolby Atmos and its brilliant. (Dolby Atmos also work with headphone)
My Setup is TAB S6 + Keyboard cover + Vention USB-C Hub 6 in 1 (1xHDMI, 1XNetwork LAN, 1xDC input, 3xUSB 3.0 Type-A)
It works decently, I even replaced my laptop with this one for a month.
The hub may be toasty but it works really well. I can connect my laptop to LAN, changing IP, SSH, remote desktop, draw a diagram, edit some sheets, play games or watch Netflix while open google chrome.
Connect to the external monitor, mouse, keyboard and it practically an ultra-slim portable laptop for me.
Battery life is also good, 7000 mAh is enough to run dex with an external monitor, mouse, keyboard, LAN for a day.
If you charge while working, the battery will not reduce at all.
If have any question, I'll try my best to answer you.

Cool. Dex is super glitchy on my S9...too bad maybe when I upgrade
Can you do a dex settup including the new Smart monitor and the galaxy tab?
Good video. Do you connect the mouse with Bluetooth to the monitor or to the phone?
Yup!
Do you connect to the monitor or to the smartphone?
You connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth.👍🏾
