my go-to cloud gaming set up on vacay

I’m still using this kind of setup, I love it; I use an old Galaxy S10e, a portable 1080p Lepow monitor, a 15in1 type C adapter and a cheap keyboard with trackpad 😊. For gaming a GameSir T4pro.

Hey ETA! Awesome video. Id also like to see an ultra portable version of this setup, maybe in a lapdock, or old laptop repurposed for dex.

Funny how i came across a video of yours made over a year ago talking about using the samsung Galaxy s20 fe as a handheld console and now this going into much more detail about dex

This man out here at 1am making quality content. BTW this feature is underrated, I was using it about an hour ago.

Samsung should prioritize this feature more than that Ai Google features

Very informative video, I recently know about Samsung Dex and end up loving that feature.

While we're on the topic of repurposing old phones, a dash cam is a great use for one. They usually have pretty good cameras, load a free app and snag a cheap windshield mount.

I'm currently using my Galaxy S8+ for this purpose , I got PPSSPP running , Dolphin Emulator and some android titles like Call Of Duty and GRID with a Xbox wireless controller working flawlessly.

I did this with my note 10+ but instead of pc gaming I turned into a mobile with steam link, ps5 remote play and emulation. For the controller I use Gamesir g8 Galileo. Great experience especially steam link.

This is why I keep my S10 around and use it now and again to keep the battery from expanding. Everyone once in awhile, there is something on Android I want to blow up and use at the setup. It just works in most cases.

This is Fantastic!!! I can envisage a simple laptop style encasing. Just need something that can start KZread as fast as a phone, and a standard cheap windows laptop isn't fast enuff. So this is awesome thanks for sharing!! 🎉🎉

There are laptop docks made to work with dex, they have built-in battery to power the screen and keyboard, and you can connect the Dex wired or wirelessly to it and have a laptop powered by Dex

This is really good content. Thanks.

I've been using dex on my old Note 10 plus to play Gamepass games over the cloud on my projector in the bedroom. Works well. Tried PS remote play too, which works better, but the series x remote play in the xbox app stutters a lot. I've got super fast WiFi, the xbox just doesn't do things as well as the PS5.

This is freaking amazing! Wow! just Wow. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

No break for the weary is ETA PRIME's motto

The new samsung creator studio is my go to editor for mobile video editing. Especially on my fold 4

I repurposed a S10 into an Spotify machine and xCloud with a Razer Kishi v2. Works great! To squeeze more battery from it I permanently in airplane mode, only WiFi and Bluetooth are on.

Remote play box for Steam or Ps5. As well as a emulating retro gaming pc. And even iptv streaming and you could use as a home security camera as well. Better than most android boxes and probably more current OS support than even the shield has.

I have the Tab S7 and still works, it's kinda sad that support ends this year. I really want to keep using it because it is still powerful enough to do its job.

I bought a refurbished s20 ultra for 250 and a gamesir X2 for 60... Paired it with my Xbox series x and put game pass on it, I can run some old emus on it... If I didn't have an Xbox it could still be solid for game pass and emus yuzu could prolly be run better if you really wanted to play around further or even running lower end games... Runs game cube Wii PS2 PSP games no problem... Thought about trying ps3 emu... Definitely worth the price so far

Planning on using a new Galaxy S10 + 1tb as my next daily, would technically be downgrading from my Iphone 12 Pro but its problably the fastest phone with aux and micro sd atm, I tried looking at the A series but all of them that had aux and micro were much slower and had less storage

The only thing similar is Huawei's Desktop, which I use, but I must admit, Dex is much more polished, and this is a great use for an old S-series Samsung with a smashed up screen. (lot of people selling them with cracked screens because the repairs are incredibly expensive). An external USB-C monitor costs a fraction of what a new screen does. BTW: Watching this on a 40" TV using Huawei Desktop on my Huawei Mate 40 Pro. Use this set-up for Google Docs, Google Meet, Adobe Lightroom and even Lumafusion. Don't game that much, anymore, but it's giggle-inducing playing mobile games on a screen this big.

Is there a reasonably priced usb c dock out there with a usb c video out port(not hdmi)? I have a s20fe 5g connected to a portable touchscreen monitor for an auto entertainment system. I’d like to add a CarPlay/Android Auto dongle but if I use a dock with an hdmi video out it loses the touch function.

I just remembered i have an old s10e with a bad screen from 2 phones ago. Kicking myself a bit why i am looking around to get an anbernic device, when i can repurpose this to be a more capable device than those I gotta rewatch some etaprime benchmarks for phones of that era

I'm thinking of using Dex as an animation computer with touch screen, I've seen it work but will it be enough to animate on? 🤔

Been using a lapdock with my phone for a few months and while it's been pretty good as it's good for just webbrowsing or watching videos while on the treadmill. Only annoyance is when web pages try to insist on using the mobile version. Going to have to try emulation on it some time.

I use a Baseus Docking Station for my Samsung S9... If I have a better phone or a phone with a larger internal storage since the S9 I have only has 64GB so Memory is limited. But using Samsung Dex is good for basic Internet things like web browsing and video streaming and just a few games

Repurposed my S21 Ultra into a Dash Cam, been doing that since my S10. Does surprisingly well when using a decent app. In 2-3 years when i upgrade to the S26 or whatever is out at the time my S23 Ultra will take its place.

Also, it'll be helpful if the phones battery is still in good condition as recording can drain it quickly depending on the settings. One last thing, while the app can use GPS and provides coordinates, in order for it to provide street names and the like while recording the phone has to have internet, i personally dont care for that so i use it in offline mode.

You can also run older pc games in low res and low settings using termux box. I have seen games like tomb raider 2013 and gta 5 run on termux box with reasonable frame rates.

Seems like a fantastic alternative to an Android box. Comparatively speaking, way higher specs. And you aren't limited the way you are with Android TV. Do you know if this can comfortably use an air mouse with on-screen keyboard?

ive been using my old samsung s20 fe for my video editing so if i could get this to work i can use it with this because editing on such a small screen is a pain, its doable but ehhhh id love more space.

This is great for people that need it

Any chance you can show some streaming service like GeForce Now or GamePass the next time you do one of these? That might really show the true portal the device can be for those that can't afford a rig yet...

This is great 👌

I'm my Motorola with a USB C cable and display that support usb c charging and usb hub. It like using an old laptop. Not very snappy, but it does the job.

this+mobox emulation, and then you can use your phone to play some actual pc older/no-demanting games at a lower graphics and resolution settings on ypur phone while using the external mouse,keyboard and the monitor

I use Dex wirelessly with my TV, throw some bluetooth keyboard and mouse in, and it's great.

Since my beloved nokia n8, i have always looked for smartphone with video output, Nokia n8-galaxy s3-lg g4-oneplus7-redmagic 7 currently.

I didn't know you could have more than 1 game file location. I can finally have games on my sd card and phone storage

Suggestion: wouldn't it be interesting to do some latency/quality testing for Steam-link/moonshine across different android devices? Compare older/newer flagship phones VS tablets vs android handhelds (wifi locally vs 5G). Just an idea, I like the steamdeck, but I think battery life +and other apps would be better on android 😊

This isn't that kind of channel. He focuses more on product promotion and sponsored videos. There is very little in the way of testing done. It's more selling stuff to you.

Did they update the fps or its because of the dock that you can play at 60fps? I tried like 2 years ago on my s21 Ultra and it was stuck at 30fps!

You can use it with the screen turned off, will heat less and prevent from burn-in, and also you can do 4K with multistar app from samsung. I recommend using the native web browser, far ahead of chrome using desktop mode

No offence, but could you try to make Motorola, OnePlus or Huawei desktop mode setup, because we end up with Exynos version Samsung galaxy phones, using Exynos version heats up like crazy on desktop mode on older galaxy phones

Is there a way to shut off phone screen and still continue mirroring. My screen has a Ghost Touching problem, that is why I need to somehow disable touch screen while using Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

For CoD mobile how can we play it on PC with keyboard and mouse controls? I tried it, but it is still relying on touch for the input, how can I change this?

I love dex. I use it almost every day at work.

The 'desktop mode' on my Xperia 5 III is one of the things that got me to go ahead and buy a steam-deck.

Desktop mode on these Android devices is underrated! I love Motorola's take with gaming mode too. I personally have been forcing desktop mode and using Taskbar with my OnePlus12, although it's not polished like Dex or Ready For (far from it), it gets me by and saved me $600 by not going with the new Galaxy Ultra or a last-gen chip had I gone with Motorola.

Not really. Or rather, you won't be able to add dex functionality to a Huawei phone. I've got a almost 3 year old Xiaomi phone. It's actually been quite good. But my next phone will be a S20fe refurbished from Amazon. Why? The snapdragon 865 is still plenty fast. It has dex, and most importantly, it has expandable storage (sd card slot). Samsung no longer makes a phone that has dex and expandable storage. You can get one or the other. That is why the s20fe is so popular. You can get the same in the s20 and note 20 ultra too, but it's a lot more money and it doesn't add any more power. Just phone features. (The s20 has a higher Rez screen and the note ultra has a stylus (and big ass screen). Both have more ram that won't help much unless you do some serious multitasking or maybe video editing on your phone, but at that point, you might want to look into a different solution. If you're stuck on dex, the s series tablets have SD card slots.

Thank you so much
