I think on Samsung phones, plugging them into a standard USB-C multiport hub with an HDMI monitor and a keyboard/mouse plugged in allows use of the "DeX" mode, even while locked.
I would assume someone could plug the phone in, use the mouse to enter their password and operate the UI to activate such a feature.
- Nullabillity 4y agoI'm sure that'll be helpful for the one person in the world who owns a USB-C multiport hub.
- liminalsunset 4y agoI wasn't aware they were so unpopular. I don't mean a Thunderbolt dock, it can be one of those ten buck dongles from Amazon with a bunch of ports on it, that looks like a glorified card reader. It will also work with any computer monitor that has a USB-C input and USB ports on it, usually, which are starting to become popular enough lately where I'm from.
- NavinF 4y agoThey’re pretty common. I don’t own one personally, but lots of people have laptops with no full-size HDMI port. For them the dongle is necessary to make the laptop usable.
