SAMSUNG DEX PAD EE M5100 PC
It is great if you have an app on your phone that you want to use or have a phone that cost several times more than a desktop PC of equal power that you want to make the most of. You can turn this option off if you'd prefer the mouse to stay on your monitor screen and use your phone screen separately. This is very useful as you can drag the mouse from the monitor screen and it will appear on your phone screen, allowing you to control your phone with a mouse (a very odd but awesome experience). The more options the better!Īlong with this, you can either use the phone screen separately to the monitor, which allows you to be in one app on the phone (like gallery or the internet) and all the others on the monitor (like an editing app or notes). You get the option to either mirror your phone screen to the monitor you have connected, use the monitor as a separate screen or stop using the monitor completely to instead fast-charge the phone you have connected. The phone will also be able to send audio to a pair of wireless earphones (like the Galaxy Buds) as expected. The AUX is still easily accessible when pugged into the DeX pad. Other apps will simply refuse to open, with a notification popping-up letting you know that "This app was designed for touchscreens only".Īs for audio, the phone will be the output of sound if no alternative is available (I have not tried with audio being sent via the HDMI to built-in speakers so cannot advise if it will work). Some apps will be slightly confused by DeX mode, like Snapchat, which has sometimes behaved oddly when navigating pages. It works seamlessly with most apps and I haven't managed to crash it yet. In addition, the pad has a fan built into it which circulates air past the bottom of the phone (about half way from the bottom of the phone onwards as this is where the processing units are inside the phone itself) which does a good job at regulating the phone's temperature and adjusts speed accordingly.Īn issue I experienced, again with input devices, is that it doesn't seem to like any new-ish Apple keyboards. This plug is also hinged slightly so you can use the fingerprint reader on the back of the phone without disconnecting it from the DeX pad - a well-thought and nice touch. On the top of the pad there is a USB-C plug which sits parallel to the pad surface, allowing you to slide it into position.
A HDMI to HDMI cable is supplied in the box. This is used to connect the pad to the monitor you are planning on using it with.
SAMSUNG DEX PAD EE M5100 HOW TO
NOTE: I tried to use an RGB Razer keyboard and RGB Razer Mouse with the DeX pad but they didn't work, I assume due to power delivery not being sufficient for all the lights (which I cannot figure out how to turn off as Razer Synapse is (understandably) unavailable on Android).
If you do not have a keyboard or a mouse, you can still use the pad as the phone will recognise when you need a keyboard and show an on-screen one automatically and on demand, along with the ability to use you phone as a track-pad (like a laptop). The pad also has two regular USB (Type-A) ports that allow you to plug in a keyboard and mouse which will work as input devices, just like a desktop PC. This is used to power the DeX pad and phone. It has a USB Type-C plug on it and comes with a USB wall outlet and USB to USB-C cable. The Samsung DeX pad allows your galaxy s8/s8+/s9/s9+ to display a desktop-like experience to a separate monitor while still being able to use the phone's screen separately.
