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.

I use Samsung Dex as a daily driver basically. I'm a doctor and I use it to review patient charts on Epic. I also fully transitioned to Google docs+reworks for working on publications. It's so easy to set up wherever I go. Amazing battery life and incredibly lightweight.

Tbh I usually just use it to play games on a bigger screen with a Bluetooth controller when I'm bored, Nintendo Switch style. There are plenty of console-style mobile games + streaming services that can make it a pretty good time killer if I'm the only one in a waiting room or something.

Because it's easier and cheaper than having a laptop. One less device to worry about.
