This device gives you the full Samsung DeX experience for less. I forgot to cover in this video that you only need a monitor or TV with HDMI to use this. No actual computer is needed! Everything you saw was software running from my phone!
Tech With Brett Wasn't Dex on third party deactivated by samsung on the latest major android update? I have an s9+ and bought the same adapter and it stays stuck in mirroring because of it.
I feel that the DeX is best for sorting out and editing the hundreds and thousands of photos/videos that one have
This does not charge the phone. The DexPad does charge the phone while you use it. I have used a device like this and returned it because my battery drained too fast. Now I have used the DexPad, it is much better.
When I travel I have been leaving my laptop home and instead bringing just Dex, a compact keyboard and mouse and an HDMI cable. I use the hotel TV as a monitor.
my tv is 8 years old why the stupiud frame rate?
If Samsung continues to work on this it could be very useful
Prabhjot Lidhar All I want is Steam support so I can play games on it.
Space Man
Omg
But you could fake it I think
Like people do with chromebooks steam will think you're windows or something
But Yee true I do what that
Imagine playing csgo
I think from the s8 to the future could be able to do medium or high at 60 at 1080 or 2k
Prabhjot Lidhar hopefully
use Steam Link and here you go magic ;)
D Shock
Put you need a PC for that
Good to see the phone actually charging up the whole time. The other third party dex mode dongles don't do this.
Brett, excellent review! I can't believe it's so inexpensive compared to the DeX. Good luck with your merch store. I'm sure you'll sell whatever you make. 👍👍

OMG!!! Need this. Thanks Brett!
imagine how much the price would've been if it was apple's
Lazy Plays Guitar apple dongle? Not gonna happen. They prefer you to buy multiple devices for multiple use cases. Laptop? $1000 basic macbook. Desktop? iMac.... ps never buy mac mini its a POS
Lazy Plays Guitar $300
Low price of $999.99 xD
Kevin Phillips 😂😂😂
infinite dolllars
DeX helped me a lot when my pc broke down and since then I've been on DeX all the time
Thank you so much for sharing Brett!! Keep up the good work!! Love your channel
Awesome video I bought an iPad yesterday but I think I will return it and use my S9 plus as a desktop replacement and a phone. 2 thumps up
Đúng!
IPad Pro hay la binh thuong?
Thanh Tran ipad pro 9.7
BlueFlamez did u return it??
Khoi Pham Eww Tab S4 is out, buy it
other brand would have selled that thing for an additinal $499.99
I have this being delivered tomorrow and I can't wait! So looking forward to hooking it up.
Thank you, Brett, for a very useful video. I am glad to see that there are some cheaper and yet useful alternatives to the Samsung DeX for our phones.
On Ebay they had Dex for 55 dollars I believe. They probably have the pad as well. And it was official model.
when someone's phone is faster loading an app than your current laptop..... 😥😢
You know, that's true. But also, it's not. PC apps are way more complex and can do a lot more, but for the average user, this should actually be enough.
@@zalinuxdev7817 Chrome for Android can do exactly all the stuff that it's desktop equivalent can do too. Office 365 also is surprisingly complete. Most people would not notice the difference between Office on Dex versus Office on a Windows machine!
@@Henry_Jr_Watsson that's not true. Word has limitations on mobile that desktop doesn't. Features missing. Like I said, for most people, it's good enough. But it's not the same thing. Yet.
use linux and ssd
My old note 9 using the DEX on old iMac, it 10 times faster than imac 😂
I've been wanting to use Samsung dex for quite a while. But I didn't want to pay the high prices Samsung wants for their docks. I've seen these 3rd party devices several times on amazon for a while but wasn't sure if a person would get full functionality. Your video was the deciding factor for me. I've had the adapter for a few weeks now and love it. I use it mainly in a dirty shop environment that I didn't want to bring any of my pc or Chromebooks into. Thanks for the video and the info you've provided. I've always enjoyed your videos as you keep things clean, professional, and don't ramble with useless information.
I was considering this a few months ago but I thought it won't active the DEX software. I guess, this manufacturer found a way to activate the software.
Nice review!
Question:
When you unplug mouse and keyboard then you can use that screen for moving but how do you type??
Thanks!
There is an option to have a on screen keyboard pop up.
What about heat buildup without the fan?
Thanks , just got one and it works great !!! Love it .
Just ordered one, Thank you.
It's like a whole new competitor against windows and mac
Actually it's just Linux
Just curious. Did you enable developer options? A lot of apps like Netflix won't offer the maximized or full screen buttons unless you activate developer mode and select the option to do so. I watch netfllix on my dex all the time and it's a full sized maximized window, with the option to go completely full screen. It does the same for my hbo go, xfinity video app, amazon prime, and all the others. Just go to settings, and about samsung dex. Then click on the samsung dex build number 5 or 6 times and it gives you the unlock option. Also, you can pair ps4 and x1 bluetooth controllers to your phone to play your hd mobile games on full screen mode if you want (the built in fan on the dexdock and dexpad are pretty much required for long duration hd gaming, or your phone can overheat). There are videos on youtube that show how to pair the console controllers. I use my spare ps4 controller.
Use Samsung labs, it allows Netflix to go full size
You beat me to it... Exactly, if you utilize the DevOptions... you can get the FullScreen mode for Netflix plus other useful features with non supported Apps...
This is so useful. Thank you !
Brett Awesome review always enjoy have picked up some great ideas just from watching your Reviews and have much ah ha moments just watching your Videos and have picked up some great things from you over the time .Congrats on the Numbers although I think people should be watching much more Great information love your Reviews Deb👌✌
Thanks Debra! It motivates me to create more videos!
The Dex Pad has dropped to $65! Didnt take long. Nice find! Been looking for this option.
Where is it $65?
Wilson Guzman mecari electronics has it for $60 and best buy is $69. Cant remember other site. Maybe B&H photo?
Found it for 50$
Radu379 where?
For netflix fullscreen, try the app DEXmax from the playstore
I have a Dex and DEXmax is a must have free app.
To my didn't work because I've read that I've needed a old Netflix app. I discovered that if I choose mirror instead of dex I can watch Netflix in full screen.
Yeah mirror disabled Netflix
Too bad the reviewer didn't research this before posting this ... lazy.
You can just use Windows Key + Arrow up key
Other dongles have SD card capability to expand storage. For those wondering, you can configure the Type C port on the dongle to charge either the phone or the device connected to the Type C port. Non flagship phones won't display the Dex screen but rather mirror the device screen which is fine if you're doing basic stuff. Really handy from a budget perspective if you already have the phone and have the money to spend on keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Awesome video really cool find!
The problem with such a device (there are others), is that in the DEX mode, your CPU is being heavily used so it gets hot, quite fast, that's why the samsung Dex solution got a fan inside - to cool your phone. When you're using a solution without a fan, your CPU will simply downclock, so you'll loose speed and performance.
Not to mention, repeatedly overheating the phone starts taking a toll on the overall battery life, and can potentially damage your battery. Had that happen before, but at least that hone had a removable battery, but the phones that have dex, do not.
Mine only ever gets as warm as it does during normal use. and the fan in Dex is so weak I'd be amazed if it dropped more than a degree or two off the overall temp. Seriously it pushes very little air and it only does so on the edges of the device, and we all know the CPU isn't housed along the edge of the phone.
I guess it depends on what your using it for. It keeps my phone cooler when I'm using the dex for hd online gaming, than it does just playing it from the phone. After about an hour my phone would by get hot and crash, on the dex it gets warm but not hot, and doesn't crash from the heat. Guess it depends on if you're a causal user or a power user optimized for performance over battery life, which you kind of have to do for any good online hd multiplayer action game.
I have this device for my s8plus.....its still quite fast, phone doesnt get warm.....
What??? The CPU is as taxed as it is using the phone in normal mode. My Note stays on DEX mode almost all day in the office and it never get even noticeably warm. This is with both my Note 8 and 9.
Just bought on and works great on my s10+
Does your phone heat up while using it the reason why I wanted to get a Dex pad or whatever is because of the built-in cooling fan ?
@@pie505 I have used it for one hour and a half and it has not.
Do u need to attach external type c power to hub for dex to work ?
Does it charge phone with in use
Brett Awesome review very much appreciated this.If I remember correctly I think belkin came out with something like this before I even knew what I could use it for have it packed away somewhere but I think I like this as well.I happen to pick up in Staples one day which people should do sometimes look around I think they had it on a shelf marked down.Some times you be surprised what you can find.I just happen to be a geek like that lol.Awesome Video but I think I like this one too nice price.Deb👌👍
What a handy little tool!!!! Thanks!
very informative thank you!!
Thanks Brett. Does it work with Plex in full screen?
MultiShow I don't know about this adapter specifically but on my dex pad, Plex does work full screen, it's awesome. I'm sure it works the same with this adapter since it is triggering the phone to launch dex ui.
The phone does support plugging in a printer directly. You just have to find the corresponding plugin from google play. For me, I just installed the hp printer plugin and I use a usb c to usb a female to plug my printer in and it works just fine.
Awesome video I hope Samsung pushes dex to next level and compete with Microsoft surface or apple mac, all from the phone.
This makes me want one of those phones, and build a little "laptop" for it. A power bank, a display, keyboard and touchpad - maybe have the phone slot in to BE the touch pad...
I just need money, time, and a 3D printer!
Let me know when it is finished!
I cant afford the project. Hopefully, someone can use my idea - I just want to see it in action
This is what i was thinking to make one
Planning it soon with a universal lcd driver
Rest what will be done will share soon on my new channel where me n my son will do reviews on such things
ua-cam.com/video/KHgvI84x4yw/v-deo.html
@@nobodynowhere163 MyMateVince might do something like that. Someone just has to forward this idea to him.
If you want to watch Netflix just use screen mirroring mode. In fact, if Netflix is the only thing you want to use and you have a wireless charger save $20 and buy a usbc to hdmi cable. Get the cheapest one you can find they all work and throw your phone on the wireless charger.
Jacob Long have you figured out how to get rid of the 21by9 bars when using the cable?
Any usb c to hdmi works?
Thank you for the amazingly cheap alternative!
Great video! I have used Samsung since S2 and Samsung was still my best love. If they are less expensive I am sure I'd love to have one of the Note series. I am using Mate 10 Pro now which costs me almost $600 less than S9 Plus that I was planning to buy originally. Mate 10 Pro does offer similar feature but the resolution is only up to 1080P. So I just got a cheap 14 bucks adaptor from Ebay. I mainly use it to watch video while travelling if I don't have my usual ThinkPad with me.
I had it and returned it then got the DEX Pad. It was not reliable. The DEX Pad is solid and I use it in my office every day.
Terrence McKelvey can you be more specific about your issue's thank you
Probably because this adapter doesn't have a fan so overtime the phone ran slugishly. The Dex Pad has a fan built in to prevent throttling.
I've had this device for over a month with no issues. There is a slow power drain on the phone even while plugged in, but it has never been an issue for me as I don't use it for more than an hour or two at a time.
Oliver McCloud what was the price on the new DEX....? Compared to the old DEX... Which is better iyo? Thanks
I purchased this BBing model he has here and it supports fast charge. still have my old Dex dock at work. I see zero differences in the way they function. If it lasts I'd say its worth the $30. Especially since I can connect my mini PC to the same screen and run the same peripherals with just one plug... Something My Dex dock isn't capable of.
Netflix does work full screen using Smary View. I do it all the time with my tv
Is that within DeX or just on your Samsung TV?
Tech With Brett It's without dex. If I'm watching a downloaded video it will play in the background I can do anything else with my phone including making phone calls or watching Utube vids or streaming vids browser
Tech With Brett the only thing I found U can't play a video on tv in background and use use split screen. However pop out windows work. All of this without video interruption
Ok great.
You need a smart TV right ? Does it work with Chromecast?
Brett, you are an absolute Boss. Keep it up!
Thanks man!
I have two used with my S9+ over the past year with perfect results. It's handy during power outages where I can power my monitor off an inverter and have a desktop experience running Linux on DeX via UserLAnd (any container solution should work).
2560x1440 is not 4k.
4k is 3840x2160 in consumer devices.
I let that slip when making the video. Thanks for the clarification.
4k is used by the cinema industry. UHD is what you are referring to.
He also said 2k which isn't 1440p
I would not recommend using this with your switch!!
Nintendo has a history of changing the power requirements for docks with updates wich results in 3rd party offerings bricking consoles.
Ive had this device for 3 months and my Nintendo switch works fine with it........
@@75dburns The problems only start appearing after updates so be careful now this month with the 6.0 update.
Yep very true. Be careful. All my local shopping centres took all 3rd party chargers and cables for the Nintendo Switch off their shelves as plenty of people's switches either blew up from a faulty charge port inside the console or it got bricked by Nintendo after an update and would only load a black screen when you try to turn it on.
"let's get started" mug had me automatically think of TDUK.
I wonder if iHome USB C to HDMI Adapter will work as DEX mode. I tried it on my Note 8, but did not have power connected to it, and it just mirrored phone. I need to try it with my Switch too.
Android phones does support printers, no need for Wi-Fi printers
mate 10 pro
You're getting a bit mixed up on the resolutions.
3840 x 2160 = 4k = QHD
2560 x 1440 = 1440p = WQHD
1920 x 1080 = 2k = 1080p = FHD
Not according to this.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution
4k does not always mean UHD, because there's also DCI 4k. Xk resolutions are used by the cinema industry. It's more appropriate to say UHD rather than 4k when dealing with 3840 x 2160 resolution.
Likewise, 2k =/= FHD, and 2.5k =/= WQHD/QHD.
2010ngojo I mean 1440p still isn't the same thing as UHD
Dnarte
Okay? I'm addressing the misunderstanding that 2k is 1080p or that 2k is 1440p as stated in the video. Neither of which is true. Likewise, 1440p is not 2.5k either.
What is the official 2k resolution?
"2K reference resolution is 2048 × 1536 pixels, whereas 4K reference resolution is 4096 × 3072 pixels."
Great video, just bought the adapter!
Great video! Quick question I was using another version of this that was not a Samsung
Product with my s8. When I downloaded the OS update a couple months ago Samsung had put a block on any dex accessing products that were not Samsung dex stations themselves such as this. Are u sure this will work with that new block the implemented? Thanks!
Great way to fry your switch like the rest of the third party docks for it.
Battery tip...!!!
This dex needs JUICE people and regular chargers won't work... you NEED a 30watt USB C charger for this setup to work like a champ ;)
Great tip!
Tech With Brett thanks
Is the OEM charger that comes with the phone from Samsung sufficient?
By the way i printed a document through a hub that has many full usb ports since there are many apps at play store through which you can setup your printer
Thank you for this helpful video:)
So Samsung Dex is like a mini computer?
Ambiguous User more like a docking station
Ambiguos user yes its the only phone with computer like software. In a way is better then carrying laptop, I put my laptop away and use my note 9 for everything.
The phone itself is the computer. The Dex essentially just allows you to use a more desktop-like UI mode.
How about JRE ,, -
The System Requirements enlist minimum/recommended hardware configuration, browsers, and plug-ins necessary for some website to deliver services dos
Java
Incomplete review. But I understand. You get free stuff for comparison and maybe a lil $$ for it. But the differences between this and a dex pad absolutely warrant the price difference. Btw, DexPad has been, since its release 30% off bringing it to only $70. Well worth the price.
Maybe I should do a comparison. What do you think I missed addressing in this video?
Tech With Brett besides the optimization of dex on a samsung for certain apps? A few settings I've found on the DexPad was audio through hdmi so no need for bluetooth speakers or access to the headphones jack. Alot of video apps like Netflix, hulu, amazon, etc. are optimized for use with dex so itll go full screen automatically and sleep the display on the phone. I've also noticed with the DexPad, even in screen mirror mode, it knows that your watching a movie or video of some sort and it automatically goes full screen but you can disable that feature if you want. But you can always expand the window as you would on a pc. I looked at several generic hubs prior to purchasing the DexPad and imo, the twice the price thing was worth it. I've seen alot of mixed reviews on the generics but not alot of cons for the DexPad. And the DexPad (not the DexDock) actually does display in 4K as advertised. Not saying your review was incorrect, but slightly inaccurate. Maybe a side by side comparison would suit the viewers that are in the market for such a device a lil better. Sometimes paying for the brand name is better. I know I'd be happier at $30 rather than $70 but sometimes you get what you pay for.
On a side note, it would be interesting to see which device faired better if it wasn't a samsung phone hooked up to each hub. That may be a deciding factor for people with a Motorola or a lg. It may not work on a DexPad but work as intended on the generic hub. Just a thought.
Great video definitely buying this
I have this. It's amazing and works great!
look like this is the time for microsoft to make windows 10 for free now android has continum lol 😒😒😒😒
It not 4 K. 1440p is more like 2.5k.
And 1080p is just normal full hd.
And 720p is hd.
He says that in the video......
1440p is QHD, not 2.5k or whatever wrong term people use these days. Likewise, 4k is not the same as UHD.
2010ngojo QHD is pretty much the same as 2.5k
jacky yo
There's no standard of 2.5k.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution
People are mixing Cinema standards with display resolutions. And then some even made up some resolutions like 2.5k.
I was wondering too cause I used it on my TV and no 4k still pretty neat.
Hi. I've purchased i multi function type c with two usb, one hdmi, n audio and two card reader and lan port.
All ports works, but hdmi on my samsung lcd shows garbled lines and like 25 color scheme. Both mirror and DeX mode. Can any one tell why?
yup that the same one i have, it's perfect.
Samsung phone better than apple.
For the problem of the number of USB ports available. I bought a set (Keyboard+mouse) from the logicool brand which uses only one USB receiver for both keyboard and mouse. So I still have one USB port available to use as I want. :D
After Oreo update you can simply choose if you want hdmi mirror output or dex desktop from connection-advanced without the need of dex station anymore and it works perfectly even with a cheap usbc to hdmi adapter
The only requirement is that the dongle needs to be a powered one...otherwise the phone will only mirror the display
Nice I have to get one of these
I am realy like my new set up. Thank you so much.
You are welcome!
IIRC, there is a Developer's option or something to that effect that allows apps to run in full screen mode. I had the original Dex that I returned due to flickering, but I was able to play PUBG in full screen like you, and I believe I was able to play Netflix in full screen mode. I will try with this item on Sunday to confirm. Thanks for the vid!!!!
reyesgohard did you try this? What was the result and what is this option your referring to for developers?
Erlee del Orbe it doesnt work. I tried the Dex mode on the old and this item you've reviewed, it doesn't work on either. This is a much better option, no flickering signal problems like the old model DeX. Great find!
Sold my PC for financial reasons and ordered a 3rd party Samsung DeX hub that should arrive next week. I'm really hyped for the desktop features and I hope the RAM and CPU on my S8 will be enough for running few Chrome tabs and Excel at the same time in DeX/desktop mode.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that it's actually the same one as in the video 😁
Did it work with chrome and multiple tabs open?
Hola Brett. Excelente dispositivo. Muy funcional y económico. Trabaja perfecto con mi Samsung Galaxy Note 8 y con la Nintendo Switch. Muchas gracias.
2 points: 1. DeXMax app would solve the Netflix fullscreen issues. 2. Audio out over HDMI is supported, do not need aux out or Bluetooth.
I need answers on the screen mirroring. Does the monitor support it? What about sound when your phone is connected? Do you need wifi to screen mirror like with the chromecast? Thanks in advance
It's possible to use the camera and mic of the phone on dex mode? For example like having a Google meet or zoom video called with the phone like a camera and keep the dex desktop on the HDMI monitor?
Thanks awesome review by the way
Hi mate! Thanks for the tip! I was considering buying a Samsung but I was wondering whether we can open 2 or more instances of the optimized app like Excel in Dex mode? Can you confirm?
To run netflix on full screen mode all you need to do is enable developer mode on the dex, and allow full screen to the netflix app
Love the vids! Is there a way to use dex on my imac? I don't want to buy another whole kit of stuff when I already have a keyboard, mouse and screen.
Mines don't look like what he's showing!! I got mines from Amazon for only 20 dollars!! Works the same way he's talking about!! I love it!!
Thanks, appreciate the video and will subscribe 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I appreciate you subscribing! Thank you.
I hope somebody is going to build a case for Note 9 that can be used as the monitor and key board. It will be nice by using the case, Note 9 can be transformed into a small laptop computer easily. I thought 8 G ram, 512 G SSD hard, sounds like way better than many other small laptop computers.
Thanks Brett for the review, would have liked to see more full 'real' pc programmes to use on it, I'm assuming the programmes that will run in Dex mode are Samsungs own versions which will limit the amount that are available and perhaps their functionality has also been dropped a little? I was considering getting Dex as a laptop replacement but the price was off putting so this is a good find. Nice little extra. Is there any way to toggle Dex settings to put the processor on full power? I'm not worried about overheating as I can put some ice in a sealed bag and place the phone on it 😎, always a way 😁
Only missing component on the Samsung DeX Pad Desktop described here is an ethernet port. That would make it the perfect replacement for the Original Samsung DeX Pad.
No ethernet port on the dex pad. Only the first generation has the ethernet
@@johngoedhard8459 That's what he said dude
is there any specific type of usb c hub (like the one you use in this video) for samsung dex to work? or any kind of usb c hub is work?
Thanks, been quesoning if buying the offical adaptor is worth the money.
If you have to unplug mouse and keyboard to enable the touch pad feature, how will you be able to type? Will it work in conjunction with bluetooth mouse and keyboards?
What about external hard drives? Will that work? Can you drag and drop files and make backups that way?
Netflix small screen is lame, but what if you go to Netflix website via chrome? Will you be able to watch full screen then?
What about UA-cam and other streaming apps, as far as watching full screen goes?
Is there a portable device that can turn it into a chromebook?
Great product and review, thanks.
For some USB-C connector, dex mode cannot be activated (only screen mirroring)on android 8.0 do you have any solutions?
Can it play any app? Like Instagram or something weird like the weather channel? Or even games like clash royale or something
I can definitely connect my printer to my S6 edge via OTG cable. I use PrinterShare app from playstore to print stuff.
Thank you!
quick question, should I turn off my monitor after each session?? When I put my tablet in sleep mode the monitor stays powered on, unlike my old PC which put the monitor into sleep mode as well. I use this setup three to four times daily, it can't be good to leave monitor on or keep turning it on and off constantly???
I was concerned about the screen on the phone being on when using Dex via HDMI for extended periods, so all you have to do is plug in keyboard/mouse and the phone screen will be totally black.
I bought one of these and works well, Netflix will play full screen
great video thank you
Works with every case
He mentioned all those Samsung devices without the S10\10+ I'm like hold on and check the videos date 😅
Hi mate, I wonder, if I connected the DEX adapter to my tv would Amazon Prime play full screen? It won't cast to the screen from my phone up via Chromecast, so I generally go into the Office and cast from my PC to the tv. Would DEX connected to my tv solve this very 1st word problem I have?
How does Dex work when using a usb-c to hdmi adaptor on my lg 4K tv?
I’m plugging this into my computer Brett and my TV
Not all dongles are created equal. The power supplied from dongle to phone requires that you match Samsung fast charge amps and voltage or every monitor will default to resolution 1080p or 900p. 1440p will only work when your using Samsung monitor or you have everything matched in power.
I couldn't get the USB Type C to plugin to my Note 9 with my case on. I returned it as I did want to take the case off everytime I wanted to use DeX. Great video though!
