OPEN SAMSUNG DEX FULL
I started my journey with DeX at around 10 AM this morning with a full battery and at the time of writing it is 2:30, and I have 67% battery.Īs far as resource usage goes, with about six Google Chrome tabs, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Slack open, and my podcast app running and playing on my Galaxy Buds Pro, I’m sitting at around 10 GB of memory usage. Can I use DeX everyday?ĭeX is a very cool step into the future, but can it be used instead of a computer for an entire day? I decided to try this out for you, right down to me actively typing this article in DeX. In DeX Labs, which are more experimental settings, you can allow apps to force resize if they are not supported by DeX or make it so your latest app open automatically when DeX is opened or closed. You can determine the resolution, font size, and screen zoom, change your desktop wallpaper, tweak your mouse or touchpad, and enable or disable certain features. If you need to tweak DeX, there are a variety of settings available to you that are pictured above. One thing to note is the lack of snapping to corners, but that’s not explicitly necessary. For an example, I will use one app that is fully supported by DeX: Microsoft Word.Īs you can see, YouTube can be dragged all across the screen, resized in a variety of ways, and can snap to either side to support split screen or the top to make it full screen. App Windowsįor Apps that fully support DeX, you can dynamically resize the windows they reside in. This is one feature I would very much like to see in the future. This feature is available in Finder, which leads me to a point of confusion: If there is an app that comes on the device that can carry out those kinds of searches, why not integrate it into the menu?įinder also brings the benefit of being able to search through apps, such as Messages or Spotify. One thing I will note at this point is the fact that you cannot search your file browser in the menu, which is a feature of both Windows and Chrome OS. The No Results Found page gives you the option to search an app store or use Finder for a more extensive search. Upon opening the apps menu, you can start typing to automatically use the search function. In my mind, the DeX Apps Menu is probably most similar to that of Chrome OS, with a search bar at the top, full-sized app icons, and arrows to click between pages. The desktop also allows for apps and folders to be created on it. At the left, you’ll also find some traditional smartphone navigation buttons, including home, recents, and back.
Start menu on the left, system tray on the right, and taskbar in the middle. The basic DeX desktop pictured above looks like your traditional desktop experience.

With the DeX for PC app, you can connect your phone directly to your PC with a USB cable and have full access to your phone on your PC.

To access it, just make sure your TV or monitor is in screen mirroring mode, and then click the DeX button in your quick settings and find the device you want to connect to. This makes it so that your television is a second display that you can manage on your phone.

With Samsung devices running the most recent Android updates, you can use DeX wirelessly by connecting to a Smart TV or monitor that supports Miracast. Simply plug everything up, DeX will boot up, and you can get going. Make sure you have a high quality cable that can deliver at least the power your hub requires as well as supports high-speed data transfer so all of your accessories work at the best of their ability.
I personally recommend you find a hub with at least four ports: one for a display cable, a port that you can connect a charger to prevent too much battery drain, and two USB ports, one for a keyboard and one for a mouse. If you want your phone to seem more like a traditional desktop, this is where a USB-C Hub would come in.

After DeX boots up on your monitor, you can connect any Bluetooth accessories you would like, such as a keyboard or mouse. Samsung sells a DeX Cable, which is more or less a USB-C to HDMI cable. This method gives you access to the most “traditional” DeX experience, if anything about DeX can be called that.įirst, You can connect your phone straight to a monitor using a USB-C to video cable, depending on what ports your monitor supports. Not that it’s necessary, and doing that would either kill your battery or slow it down considerably. How do I access DeX?Īcross all DeX experiences, do keep in mind that the maximum resolution is FHD, so you won’t see any pretty 2K. Samsung has an official list of 79 apps that are supported by DeX, including office suites, video conferencing software, remote desktop software, media apps, and even games.
