I used Samsung DEX (Galaxy Fold 3) as my desktop for work for a few months. It had some minor issues, but otherwise works surprisingly well and I was able to develop Python applications, run web servers, etc.
Plus, it's only using a couple of watts instead if hundreds of watts compared to a 5 year old desktop for the same performance.
- tooltalk 3y agoI've using mine (S22+) as my daily driver (8hr/day) for about 6 months after my Dell XPS 13 stopped working mysteriously. I was about to get a new laptop, but found that DEX works amazingly well with my 4K 32" monitor! It's a pretty good thin client and does almost 80+% of what I normally do on desktop. It's fine for web browsing, but I use replit and codespace for small python/rust/c projects.
- esperent 3y agoI tried using Dex for about two weeks on my S21 FE while my laptop was in for warranty repairs. It was extremely frustrating and next time I'll find a laptop to borrow instead. The hardware can handle it. The problem is the software, so many tiny issues like not being about to drag and drop, bad window management, lack of shortcuts and lots more added up to an unacceptable experience for me. But it did give me hope that in the future, maybe not my next pc, but the one after, might be the size of a phone.
