It’s a cool feature, but I don’t know when I’d need/want it.
Anyone who uses Samsung Dex do you use it often? When? Why?
I keep a lapdock in a quick go bag for the weekend or when I’m at my desk without my computer.
I like dex, 80% of my computer usage is just Internet or quick server commands.
My wife handles her YouTube channel 100% from her phone and having the option for a bigger screen for some task is great.
I never understood why Google disabled display out via USBC, it comes built in on most chips.
Doesn’t that require USB 3.x? Some of the Pixels have been USB-C 2.0.
Probably also requires wiring up the correct lanes from the chipset and possibly even paying the manufacturer for that feature.
They come correctly assigned from the chip manufacturer. The manufacturer supports DisplayPort over USB-C, and Google removed the code in their implementation.
Interesting but I’m not sure the use case
Gaming, perhaps?
This sounds pretty exciting actually.
I’d love it for coding on the sofa if i could pull out a laptop shell and just plug my phone into it to fire up VSCode.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Took them 8 versions to do something that’s in AOSP?
Hopefully this means companies using android will stop being lazy or cutting corners and finally give to everyone the vanilla desktop experience instead of restricting it on overpriced expensive ph ones!
What do you mean by “ph”?
