The NexDock is a convertible laptop shell, with none of the traditional computer stuff on the inside - instead relying on whatever you connect it to, to do all the work. It’s compatible with any phone that offers a desktop mode - Samsung DeX being the most recognizable one. Previous versions of these Lapdocks have always required a wired connection but now they’ve added a wireless option too! It uses miracast to wirelessly cast to the lapdock’s screen, and bluetooth to wirelessly connect the keyboard + trackpad.

Most definitely, instead of taking a tablet or laptop for $300 you can use this for media consumption and definitely DEX which I would use much more lol and being able just to use on Nintendo switch is a no brainer. With at least 90hz and 1440p and bigger battery this shell would be much more Awesome .
Is wireless dex support in my samsung galaxy s22 plus to my HP 14s laptop?
Really thorough review, and precisely mirrors my own experience. Was considering producing a review of my own but you said it all! 😄
Thao is one of the best reviewers.. speaks clearly😍
I've been paying attention to all the different versions and honestly this is a nice thing to have. With all it's limitations, the price is not that bad.
At Christmas Amazon had a portable monitor with coupon codes marked all the way down to $42. Got one for me and my son. I hook up my z fold and added a wireless keyboard with trackpad. I gotta admit, it works way better than I thought it would. I might have thought about the Nexdock for $150 but not for $249 and up
I bought a nexdock wireless and also a virtual machine in Azure , one with a GPU.
I access that VM over RDP Android app client. Works like a charm. It's fast with a fast connection for video editing and gaming.
This is the future and it's coming fast.
Thanks for this video.
If consumers ask for these devices, they will surely releave the loose links inbetween.
Thank you for mentioning the trackpad!!!
I wish Samsung would design their laptops with a phone docking station built into them. Maybe the phone could even function as a secondary mini window.
Not a big fan of wireless connection because of latency lag, but I'm glad to see the wired connection port is still there. But personally, I'd save up $50 and get the non-wireless 360.
I've been wanting nexdock to do something like this since the first nexdock
But I agree with you with a bigger battery and the refinement you mentioned this would be a homerun
5 years from now, I hope they perfect this kind of tec .. I see myself using it if it overcomes the tiny current drowbacks
Great vidoe... i have just moved to dex only usage.. the notebook is dumped into the drawer for more than 6 months with no use... just love the mobility of dex
My main PC at home in a thicc boy 17 so it only moves around for dedicated trips, but I absolutely LOVE my NexDock 360 for the daily live OTG. It fits well into a slim bag, it's so convenient for switch and if you already main Samsung phones. I was even considering grabbing an asus rog flow z13 as a complimentary otg windows machine to pair with my NexDock. That would be a crazy setup
The Nintendo Switch functionality sold it for me. That's fire! Great video.
I love my Nexdock. I’ve used it loads of times to setup desktop Apple Macs or PCs that I run headless. Used with DEX and as a dual monitor quite a bit. It definitely works well in combination with a Z Fold. It’s also a great option in combination with an M1 iPad or surface go now as well. Samsung bring back Ubuntu on DEX as that was amazing!
an honest review, very refreshing. Thank you
Great review Thao! I appreciate you finding these diverse tech items that might be good for some. Love your reviews!!
Bought the 360 wireless yesterday once they offered shipping to Canada.
Very excited for my first lapdock.
Nexdock is the best from what Ive researched. However, I'm hoping their next lapdock release will be the ultimate lapdock with upgrades- screen, battery, speakers. *fingers crossed
I have the none wireless version, really great device that i use with my phone all the time. I also live in Canada, I hope their delivery has changed, with conversion and import fees made this device cost 531 instead of the 269 at the time. Hopefully they figured something out for Canada.
They need to up their game. Make a premium lapdock. This market is small, users who buy one really want one. They are willing to pay more for a premium product. Stop cutting corners NexDock!
I have the dex too rich screen version and I love it. But the over time if I don’t put the wire correctly in a certain angle it don’t connect to the phone. What u meeting to say is that this is amazing a wireless version is amazing
Yeah I'm with you Thao, if they can figure out at least 60hz for wireless, I might cop one of these. I think it would be a cool addition to the tech arsenal, and it would come in handy for shorter trips when you might need to pack light. And shoutout to Debra and Marie Barone! 😆
I don’t use this stuff but it seems cool. How important is portability for this thing? I feel like an interesting way to use this would be to have a slot to dock the phone via USBC where the trackpad would otherwise be.
You would likely need a thicker and larger 16:10 chassis to make it compatible with bigger phones. But you could put in a deeper travel keyboard and giant battery with the extra space.
As someone who has owned the wired Nexdock 360 since 2021, take into consideration that the wired connection over time gets loose and causes screen flickering/disconnecting to the point where you have to set the phone in JUST the right position. I would take this wireless version over the wired version hands down. Even with the frame rate drop. I never use my wired Nexdock in "tablet mode" because it's too awkward with the phone hanging off attached to the side. Nexdock will probably improve the frame rate in the future. I'll probably wait until then to upgrade. But SamsungDex will always be improving, and being able to "improve" your laptop/tablet with the new phone that you upgrade with your wireless plan every couple years is truly the best part about Nexdock... Also, make sure your M2 screws stay tight on the bottom, I've had several fall out and replaced... Also, get a small retractable-cord travel mouse, and you'll never have to worry about the palm stuff, and it's way more productive.
Interesting that your USB-C port is failing.. I've got the UperfectX, I ended up paying to get it repair (although I'd say it's only 80% repaired) The USB port boards are probably the same, and there is simply not enough to keep it secure.
Excellent review and great suggestions! Quick question...what is your wallpaper? It looks like iridescent scales. Gorgeous!
Samsung's operating system, which is capable of multitasking and has good compatibility, is cool.
This is very useful because your everyday essentials, your phone, becomes a laptop for simple tasks.
I've just ordered a Dopesplay DR158W. Why does the world not know more about these lapdocks??? I've the S24 Ultra and have all my work is on that phone, these are no brainers. And in 2 years, I'll have the S26 Ultra upgrade and will still use the same lapdock.
Great review!
Its use as a second monitor definitely makes it more appealing!
What is your main device right now? Thinking about getting a flip 4 or fold 4
The concept is great. The only hiccup is how well Chromebooks link to Samsung phones these days. I'm using a Lenovo duet 5. It's wireless connection is way more integrated than my galaxy book2.
I'm not sure if it's my Galaxy s23 ultra speakers...but it sounds like Thao has Invisalign making a slight lisp. Sorry in advance if that how you naturally sound. I just never noticed it until I played your video through my phone speakers...I like when you drop videos, they are very informative!
I use a 14 inch external monitor ($100.00), a foldable keyboard $50.00) and a bluetooth mouse. Compact and light.
The thing that I always hate about using Dex wirelessly, is that when I use it on my old windows pc, you need to be connected to wifi which I don't always have a connection to
Unfortunately, they don’t have any other keyboard layouts for other languages. Thank you for your introduction
What fold case is that?
Is there a better dock for DEX available now? Thanks
I have some friends who really would benefit using this as they mostly use their phone for everything and only use laptop for reading documents and Netflix. But when I told them this they are really fixed on using iphone only even if they desperately need a laptop for reading work documents and creating PowerPoint but doesn't want to spend the money to buy a macbook (they have money but just doesn't want to soend it on tech stuff).
Awesome video thanks Thao 👍👏😎❤️🤗
Does NexPad work with mini-desktop?
Using the own NexDock 360 wireless keyboard & trackpad, do you have any conflicts between these while typing on it's keyboard...?
Microsoft is working with samsung so i hope they will launch a dual windows / android tablet someday
So, does the wireless requires the phone and lapdock to be on the same WiFi network? Can't it just work with direct connection? Or how does it work?
Can you use the Samsung spen on the screen??
Will you review the galaxy book 3 ultra ?
I can with the face in the thumbnails😂
I've been keeping an eye on nexdock and I'm disappointed the battery life is so poor on this one. Should be a good 6+ hours. At minimum to put up a fight against Chromebooks. I'll wait for a gen 2.
Does anyone know where I can get Dex for Mac download, I know it's not supported by Samsung anymore. Old version is fine.
Nice video keep up the good work
I want this for imaging PCs. I have to switch between multiple desktops a day while I'm configuring them, and KVMs don't really solve the problem. This would just be two cables to swap between PCs.
Hi, weird ever since I got the Z Fold 4, I don't use Dex anymore and I only use my laptop few times in a month. Except Pro video editing, Microsoft Excel and PC gaming, Z Fold 4 is doing everything else. But let's not get carried away, It can't replace a laptop but a Tab yes for sure !
This review was very helpful, as I have been trying to decide between this or the non-wireless model.
And I am also more likely to trust the opinion of another JoJo fan. 😊
Dex will be great if it offers a desktop grade browser. I have S21 fe but yet to try how dex feel.s
If I was still in school, for the price, I'd buy these things. I instead opted for a Samsung Tab S7+ and it pretty much was all I needed for note taking, homework, online class meetings, and more for my Masters program. Granted I could have saved myself more money than buying the Tab S7+ but I figured it was a good investment. That thing is my media consuming, game playing, and occasional web browsing/note taking system for things I do like programming. Little by little Android gets better, but still needs so much to catch up to the iOS and Windows apps in regards to first class apps. Often times it just feels like Android devs only do work for phones only or don't put effort into larger displays. I think Android is quite mature as an OS to provide the tools there, but the support of it isn't because let's be honest, most don't see a reason to invest the development time into it. I get it, the market is a very niche group until a major product like Android laptops or something become hot sellers.
Its a great concept, but like you said you can probably get better performance with a windows laptop with phone link, or a chromebook that will link to your android device! If you do go with something like this i agree with what you said and just hardwire it for better performance!
Neither Phone Link or Chromebook offer the same experience as using a phone with DeX. You're still dealing with multiple ecosystems and multiple sets of obsolescent hardware that you aren't with a phone + lapdock. The continuity Thao speaks to is the biggest benefit of DeX.
Gotten the best performance just using a monitor with dex, a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and a speaker.
Oof agree with u.. 30hz is unusable. Nice vid!
Zoom Meetings app works in a particular way in Samsung Dex. Anyone talk about that?
I wish they'd just raised the price by whatever amount to implement Miracast revision 2 with 60Hz. All this does is turn people off the concept. It was not worth hitting the low price point.
There is a new uperfect 15inch model !!
Too bad they got rid of the expandable memory storage on the new Samsung Glalaxy phones S-series. That use to separate them from Apple. No more Galaxy phones for me. If they decide to return the feature, then they'll have a happy renewed customer.
It's a nice idea but a Chromebook does a better and arguably price conscience job. But if Samsung made a Chromebook that could enhance dex, that would be a game changer!
have you ever heard of peakdo touchscreen
Great video ❤
What about pen?
I have the nexdock touch and the usb C connection keeps breaking. Its very poor quality control. This shouldve been a feature from the beginning.
what phone case is that?
That's the Overture Z Fold 4 case by Pitaka.
Or you could just use a Samsung Tab with the keyboard cover in Dex mode
I do love Dex...but she is right about the wireless functionality. It really sucks and there is a huge amount of lag even with a superior wifi connection. The concept is exceptional, but it just does not work well yet.
If your device has wifi 6e the it works but still the refresh rate is 30hz garbage
Not bad, getting close. I dislike the huge waste of screen real estate at the bottom and the slow refresh rate but we're getting there. Soon....soon.
At 03:24 what is the name of the song ?
That's "Worst" by JoJo.
@@SC2point0 Thank You 👍.
Nice review always from thao ❤
If you compare to a MacBook, compare the price, lack of touch screen, 360 screen, etc which MacBooks lack.
what game are you playing
now all we need to wait for is the 120Hz touchscreen detachable from keyboard version..with no latency.. so it can function as a tablet to bring to our bed and toilet
Get wireless version to down 250 bucks and I'm in
The reason I bought my Z Fold 4 is that I don't have to carry my laptop or tablet when I head out to Starbuck coffee break. If I need to use Dex at home, I can just plug it in to my Samsung TV or monitor which are so much bigger and nicer. It does not make sense to spend $350 on this Nexdock. Nice review.
Which laptop is that
That's not a laptop. It's actually called a laptop dock, better known as lapdock.
She’s totally saying “Lapdog”.
when i first read the title i thought the phone was somehow wirelessly sending power to the laptop 😅
Same lol 😂 but that’d be cool for the next model
There are external displays that can do that.
@@antoniousai1989 no, i meant the phone was sending power, not the monitor sending power
@@merbudd That's what I meant.
@@antoniousai1989 you said "there are external displays that can do that". that would imply that you meant the display is sending power to the phone
i got a uperfect mini x. but i didn't like the keyboard. and so it will likely gather dust. paid 150 USD for it.
Prefer a cable over 30hz sadness
If they are that close just use the cable.
The benefit with wireless is that you don't need to have your phone laying on the table or balancing next to you on the sofa. You can leave the phone in your pocket, or tuck it safely away at the cafe. You can also pick up the phone and go take a call or grab some food etc. without breaking the DeX connection.
It's good but not great. I want to be able to plug in more USB devices when using the USB-C cord. The mouse is ridiculously too fast! The speakers are terrible for this price. I've had cheaper laptops that sound better. There is a typo on the firmware screen too. Manufacturer says there is no way to update the firmware either. It's an oversight which is indicative of the product itself.
this is soooooo goooooodddddddddd
Just needs better battery
Why not just get a laptop and connect wirelessly.
Hi
I know a niche techie cluster thinks that smartphones, because they are powerful, can operate as a laptop, but the cons are too many to make this a sensible choice for the vast majority. For a start, I just checked on Amazon UK, and I can buy an OLED 16GB/512GB/2.9K/90Hz ASUS laptop for twice the cost, which will be 10X better. If I could not afford the extra but needed a laptop regime, I would pay less for my phone to afford the ASUS.
So, for me, DeX remains just Android with a Windows UI, which is, for many, too restrictive (no s-pen support for one). If Android was enough, then I would instead buy a Tab S8 for just a bit more (UK prices)
I can understand your point about Android still not being a sensible choice as a PC. But if you go to r/SamsungDeX, you can see almost everyone there who don't even have a Windows laptop and only use Windows through DeX via VDI.
The crazy thing is DEX has actually gone backwards. When I had my note 9 they supported full versions of Ubuntu. I was just trying to learn Linux at the time (and it was the ARM version) but I could use my terminal on my Note 9 to SSH into a server!
@@richarddcrossley Yeah, Samsung used to develop Linux on DeX. Unfortunately, it all broken since Android 10. That's the reason why I bought a Note8 as it, alongside the S8 and S8+, are the only chance for you to play with Linux on DeX since they don't go beyond Android 9.0 Pie.
For modern phones, best use something like Andronix or box86 for GNU Linux on Android.
@@farishanafiah8461 interesting and thanks for the info. I’ve got a test Note 9. Could I role in back to android 9? I know it can be a bit of pain but Note 9 is generally ok for custom ROMS.
@@richarddcrossley Never tried downgrading the OneUI version. You might want to back up your files first before doing the downgrade.
it needs wifi6, so it doesn't lag
Its too expensive though, at that price-point why not just get a regular laptop and mirror the display
A regular laptop at that price only gives you low-end CPU with low RAM and low storage. Also, being an external monitor, you can still keep it for use no matter how much gadget upgrade you have done.
@@farishanafiah8461 it doesn't take much resources to mirror a display natively or not. But I meant natively in my comment. It should be possible to achieve this
@@farishanafiah8461Yes‼️ exactly. My phone has more RAM and ROM and can outperform many laptops 💻 in the $700 range. AND not to mention the portability as well.
@@OM-bs7of You still need the host device to be up to date in the first place, and most host device will suffer from performance loss after several big updates.
@@teemo5409 Ikr, especially when comparing against Chromebook laptops.
depends on OS used 🤣 sorry samsung to get qhd on s20 😝
there is no delay when properly connected. true or false ?
This is like connecting a bluetooth keyboard to laptop like why you need this feature if your laptop have touchpad :/
Stopped watching after seeing 30hz😅
better to buy a Samsung tablet and sync your phone with the tablet ,
Hi sweetie. That’s my girl❤
At this price point, it makes more sense to bring an old laptop if you are using Dex. Most windows laptop can run Dex effectively and in case you want to use the laptop itself, you can too. Even if I don't have an old laptop, I'll probably be happier buying a new budget laptop or a portable monitor with bluetooth keyboard. There isn't a use case I see that justifies its price.
The latency is bad and there is no bright side.
Maybe a Linux distro on a USB when not using the phone but 4hr battery life is a deal breaker.
You can't boot from a USB - there are no brains in the lapdock.
It is hard to justify the $300 price tag considering Samsung Galaxy Book Go is only $50 more with full laptop experience and much much better battery life.
Wirelessly "powers" or wirelessly "connects"
Even with 144hz display port Samsung Dex mode on galaxy phone, mouse delays are huge. It's not only about 30hz-60hz thing. It's about process delay, not smoothness.
Dex does not use wifi
Imagine selling new device with a screen from 10 or 15 years ago.. what a waste of development money..
