nahostdeutschlandFirst Look at Google’s Unfinished DeX-Like Desktop Mode for Android
Peter GMy Motorola Edge+ 2023 has desktop mode when connected to an external display.
And my Samsung has had it for longer than that. But this one is made by Google.
joshchandraCan DeX be used with just an external monitor without a PC?
Captain AggravatedYes; using a USB dock with HDMI out you can use a Samsung phone as basically a desktop PC. For some reason. Having tried it, the experience isn’t great, none of the apps are really designed for it so I guess if you want to type an email on your phone, knock yoruself out.
I used it a few times for work even. At the time I had a usb-c hub connected with a screen, Ethernet, 65w charger, a keyboard and mouse and I had my laptop that I was carrying with me.
Once or twice I arrived at work and realized I forgot my computer at home … And I have a 2hour drive … So I connected my phone to the hub and work on it. It worked well to send email, use an internet browser, a bit of document editing and mostly connecting to remote desktops.
