There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I saw several reviews complaining that they can't use the Amazon Video while in DeX mode. That's true, and you are unable to use Amazon Music while using DeX also (therefore Apple Itunes becomes my default music player when in DeX mode). However, Just toggle over to Screen Mirroring and Amazon Video works just fine. Plus, it automatically goes to full screen landscape when you start a movie or show. You can toggle between the two through the pull-down menu/notification panel. The mouse even still works while Screen Mirroring, so you don't HAVE to use the phones screen to do anything.
The few things that I wish that they had done differently is 1) make the usb connection longer so that you can use it without having to take your case off or buy a usb extender. 2) the phone being solely supported on the bottom end by the usb connector seems like weak point to me. I fully expect this to be the area where it breaks first.
So, things could be better. More apps could support the full screen available while in DeX mode. More apps could take advantage of mouse input and control (it would make Amazon Shopping so much easier if they would support both of those). As it is, sometimes it's best to have the phone available as a trackpad for those apps that aren't mouse friendly.
This brings me to why I purchased this dock. I was using a non-Samsung Dex station before and it worked fine and cost significantly less. At some point Samsung pushed an update and it would no longer stay connected to computer monitors. I tried several different monitors and cables and had mixed results. It seems that Samsung may be trying to push the use of official Samsung products. So if you were using a non-Samsung Dex station and it stopped working, I would try this station out. It solved my problems.
There are some exceptions:
Firefox refuses to launch in any way, shape or form in Dex. Not good.
Google Earth refuses to launch in any way, shape or form in Dex. Not good.
YouTube will launch, but is buggy and refuses to play any video when you click on them. Weird. However, you CAN launch it in a browser.
Netflix won't play in anything, except a dinky, non-sizable window.
Which brings me to my next point: if you have apps that will not launch well in their stand-alone form (and they are very few), if they have a browser equivalent, use that. It seems those "web browser apps" work better using Samsung's own Internet browser, rather than Chrome.
Here's another cool thing: I can do all my WordPress editing and designing using the web browser, just like I normally do on a regular desktop. I find that using the Chrome web browser works better in this case. I use the Elementor Pro Wordpress page builder and it runs faultlessly on Dex, in the Chrome browser.
Everything else works really well and even faster than if I were to run similar apps in Windows. For instance, Evernote using the Windows application on Windows 10 is (and has been for years) sheer agony. Incredibly slow and buggy. Evernote refuses to fix that. However, the Evernote App on Android is excellent. It's even optimized for Dex. However, although the Evernote app can work in a resized window, it appears it is the phone app, not the tablet app.
OK, that's "how" it works. Now on to what I can do with Dex.
I no longer lug a laptop around. All I need is Dex and a keyboard. The phone doubles as a touchpad with Dex Pad. Works fairly well, though I prefer to use my little Microsoft bluetooth mouse, along with a Omotion Android bluetooth keyboard. When I'm home, I have a 24" monitor set up and Dex can be hooked up and ready to go in less than a minute. On my lunch break at work, I use my work computer monitor with HDMI and things are up and running right away.
What's really cool is everything is seamless between my "phone" experience and my "desktop" experience.
I did try to use the Wine application to try out running Windows applications on Android. However, the latest version of Wine (3.0) is NOT compatible with Android Oreo 8.0.0 which is on my phone. For the most part, that's OK, but i would love to be able to uses Audacity for my audio editing. I'm suprised Audacity has no Android version, even though they do have a Linux version. It is recommended to run Audacity on Wine in Android. Unfortunately, i can't do that.
Every once in a while I'll get a "memory low" error. Usually it's triggered by having too many apps open, as well as too many browser tabs. It's easily remedied by closing unneeded apps. This happens in maybe 10% of my experience with Dex.
The video quality is just "OK". It is not as sharp as running a Windows machine connected to the same monitor. And that's the only reason I am knocking off 1 star. That said, however, fonts are bigger on Dex than they are in Windows, which makes it easier to read for this 58 year old's eyes.
Overall, I am super pleased with Dex. I highly recommend this product. Samsung has work very hard to bring extraordinary tech to the latest Galaxy S phones and their technology add-ons like Dex really multiply the pleasure and benefits from your Samsung device. I'm surprised that Dex isn't more popular than it is. I thought I would write a review that addresses the "what's it like" and "how well does it work" questions I had before seeing firsthand the Dex in action. It seems there are very few reviews that fully answer the question, "So how does Dex work with non-Dex apps?"
Just remember: Dex works great IF you activate Dex Labs!
