Great feedback on the setup. its a bit high end, so I have configures a more affordable version of this setup. Touch Screen Monitor geni.us/TcvtF Hub geni.us/BcOSEc Keyboard geni.us/6T7ZB I left the mouse out. You can use the fold as a mouse and I left the speakerphone out . You can use the fold as a speaker phone too
Love that keyboard. For those that wondered, it's the Kalude KD-K2 keyboard. It was a project on Kickstarter but they pulled it. He must have one of the only ones in existence.
Great presentation with your video. DeX is so underrated! I'm loving it and so glad it exists, it can do 95% of my productivity for work on the go. Love it
Well, i finally got this setup, it's beautiful, i can use Office apps while using browser or playing videos on the background. On the negative side i'm still depressed and can't get a girl to love me
surprised what you can do on the samsung dex, I wish i had a more powerfull device. My s8 almost replaces my computer except resizing windows is not great and android likes to refresh screens. Newer devices may not have that problem.
A few comments about DEX in general, I don't have a fold but use DEX a lot on my S20FE and S7+. By default only 5 apps can be open at anytime unless you change the configuration. Use GoodLock for more config options. Resolution is hardware dependent and higher than FHD is possible. Many USB devices are supported, for example I use a Focusrite Scarlett Solo with no problems, it just works. My S7+ has replaced my gaming laptop for everyday use, it is extremely pleasant to use, silent and doesn't even get warm.
The sad part about this is Samsung is not marketing their dex devices like this enough. Things like this is how they can establish themselves more in certain markets. Same with LG but they didn’t keep up their software enough. I was pro Samsung until end of last year. I wanted something like the Fold that could be my all in one but switched to Apple. Then Samsung promised longer updates. 🤦 I also was disappointed because of fragmentation between my devices and not having the kind of music production apps on the play store I needed. My note 9 and windows pc just wasn’t working as well together. Samsung and Microsoft soft starting fixing stuff after i switched. 😃 I still have my devices but kinda getting hooked on Apple for what I do. If you are not tied to Apple and just need the average user experience that Fold is the way to go for all in one experience.
@@farishanafiah8461 Not everyone is on RU-vid. A lot of people had no idea about this when working remotely and going to school and probably didn’t realize their phone could do that. I work for a school and there were a number of students without computers that use to go to the computer labs for that purpose.
The Z Fold 3 has endless capabilities, I've been wondering for years why Samsung, doesn't market their products capabilities to the fullest they could get more customers, some people still haven't seen the Z Fold series.
The Z Fold series is still an expensive smartphone to buy. I myself used to own the first-gen model until I found out the LG V50 with its DualScreen case. I traded in the Galaxy Fold for that LG phone and saved loads of cash in return. Plus, the V50 is a truly capable underrated flagship.
Not everyone is a tech nerd like us and probably don't need all of these extra features with a hefty price tag. And people like us that actually gonna use the Z Fold to its fullest potential will find out about the phone ourselves without the need to see any advertisements.
I have a similar set up . but dex only supports 1080p so I didn't go with a 4k monitor . but I'm running a Speakers- logitech z200 printer - Hp bluetooth printer Mouse - logitech ergo M575 (trackball) Screen - Asus Zenscreen 15.6" touch screen Keyboard - logitech k480 ( multi device so i can swap between the smart tv and phone and sit my zfold in the slot on the keyboard ) and i run dex for running android apps and I'm subscribed to shadow app so i can use a windows 10 pc in the cloud so I can run pc games and install .exe files in the cloud so it's basically the ultimate multitasking device. so for $400 and a $30 monthly shadow subscription In my back pack I have a phone/tablet , chrome book / windows 10 pc. * Update 3/29 added a Samsung M7 monitor , a gamesir x2 gamepad for emulation gaming , Xbox gamepass/Google stadia , and added a spen fold edition for signing docs and to write notes .
Damn nice set up bro, what is the significance or benefit of being able to install .exe files though? Just curious. I use dex for gaming android apps and office projects as well as RU-vid/twitch. I use s22, Logitech Bluetooth k&m, 4K USB-C - HDMI hub and Samsung M5 monitor. Works great.
@@Flash363 I ended up buying the m7 monitor last month . But the benefit for the shadow app is you have a windows 10pc with gami g Internals so you can run PC games and install any PC app like pro tools , fl studio, real video editing software , steam, etc on the shadow app or on a monitor through dex so you basically have a phone and windows PC so it's make any galaxy a all in one device in your pocket . It's perfect on the z fold in landscape mode since it's a 7 inch tablet when its unfolded. The z fold is unmatched in productivity, gaming ,and viewing content when you pair the set up you and I have with it .
@@Flash363 I don't own one either lol . You just set it up and activate it and the shadow app will launch a cloud based windows 10 PC on your phond kind of like Xbox game pass does with games. And the app is available on smart tvs and has PC version to turn pcs that aren't powerful into gaming PC when they run the program. And the server have gigabit speeds so if your WiFi is good it will download games in minutes. I download apex legends from steam in 3minutes on the cloud with my 200mb wifi connection.
@@kdubspencer3390 holy shit fr?? I didn't know abt that! That's kind of similar to when ppl were running Linux on Dex huh? Aight imma write this down lol thanks for the info! I had a feeling there was a lot more dex was capable of!
What is the resolution allowed for Fold 3's Dex mode? 2K maxxed or finally 4k? I think 2K is only possible with official Dex (Note 9). when I used 3rd party Dex, the max allowed resolution is 1080P. Is it the same with your fold 3? Lastly, can you fold the phone, and turn off the screen while connected, or the screen must be on/unfolded always? Knowing OLED and burn-in . Thanks
If you have One UI 4.0 in your DeX-supported Samsung phones, there is a new feature inside the Good Lock app under the "I 💚 Samsung DeX" feature that allows you to run at maximum resolution regardless of accessories. In the olden days, Samsung locks the resolution to 1080p for third-party accessories.
Very nice presentation. I have the Samsung Z fold 3, the Satechi dock and Espresso monitor but when I connect the Z fold to Satechi and use a cable to connect the dock to the monitor, it does't work. What is the trick to get them all connected like you have?
I have exactly the same issue. I bought the Satechi dock only because I saw in this video that it works with the Fold 3 and the dock's HDMI does not work. I would like an explanation about how he made it work.
years ago i just bought a cable and hooked up too my pc now i just got a samsung tv and got the s10+ 1TB on the way so will use Dex on my tv with that no cables needed , things seem too be working out in my home slowly but surely
Would be better to just get a Nexdock 360 for on-the-go use with DeX. Would be even better if Samsung would just let us use DeX on the Fold's inner display directly, as you can on a Tab, so you wouldn't need an external display. Still, an interesting example of what can be done, particularly if you frame this setup as a desktop rather than something portable.
Couldn't agree more. Lapdocks make a much better investment than standalone screen and wireless keyboard+mouse. DeX UI on the Z Fold3 may sound like a good idea, but with that tiny 7.6" screen? Probably not.
@@farishanafiah8461 7.6" is tiny? I remember when tablets had smaller screens than that. Point being it is perfectly capable of it and ought to be a choice. I would choose to use it, and you probably wouldn't. Neither are wrong :)
@@nickthaskater I have an 8.0" Windows tablet that is bigger than the Z Fold3, and I'm still struggling to use it without having the whole desktop zoomed in. Also, with the recent launch of Android 12L, it's highly unlikely that Samsung will ever do that unless if they have a change of mind.
@@farishanafiah8461 Take a look at the GPD Pocket 2 - it's a 7" Windows laptop and perfectly functional. Android 12L helps make tablet interfaces a bit better, but has nothing to do with the Android desktop framework or Samsung DeX (aside from maybe helping some apps scale better in DeX). The point, again, is that Samsung already has DeX available, and it already allows it to be used directly on devices like the Tab S line. There's no reason it shouldn't be an available option to use on the Fold's inner screen. I know I would use it, as would others, even if you don't. Holding back features for no reason is not something that ought to be defended.
no need to use fancy dock.. you can use type c to multi output adapter that has vga, hdmi, usb type a and type c.. that really cheap one and work fine like this video
All this is great but you could achieve the same experience for way less. That monitor is crazy expensive and I could actually buy a great laptop for the 1179+shipping+tax that you spent here for this setup minus the phone. A 250.00 nextdock, although not 4k on the screen, would yield you the same results. The mics and speakers on that ZFold3 is plenty loud enouh for a room to hear for a conference call type environment.
Most likely yes. I didn't try it, but I connected USB sticks to Android phones for many years with that USB-C to USB-A adapters that come in the phone's box (I don't know if the Fold has that adapter in the box; I have the Note 10+). As a note, the external devices should be formatted to exFAT for the phone to access it.
@@estusflask982 You can check out NexDock 360 and UPERFECT X as they are the only universal lapdock on sale today. If you want a detachable screen, do check out UPERFECT X Pro 15.6".
why you want to buy a monitor keyboard.. charger stand... it is more simple just carry a laptop or tablet... what you do is cool, but not practical... sorry... too much work and expensive.. no point for your demonstration...
