The S21 would also be a good option, But it uses Samsung Dex, which is my favorite Android Desktop right now, www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&_nkw=s21+used&_sacat=0

Ive been using samsung dex as a desktop pc and game console since 2020. ive been obsessed with this feature since 2018. im still using my s20 and so far i am really content with its performance. im surprised samsung hasnt marketed this feature- its certainly a very underated feature!!!

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S20 Mini PC from Ali Express. It has a metal housing, heat sink and fan. I paired it with the Uperfect 15.6" touch screen monitor that acts as a single hub then I put the new Raspberry Pi Keyboard Hub on it and also got a phone upgrade to a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. I am extremely happy with the whole thing and would recommend it for someone wanting an Android OS.

Not gonna lie you go lucky with that deal. This phone is NOT $120.

I've always like your Android coverage. I switched my second phone from Moto to Samsung last year and as a result I haven't been following Motorola as much as I used to. Thanks for covering Moto Connect today. I didn't even know they'd changed the name. Their desktop mode looks a bit slicker now than it did; but, I could be imagining things.

Motorola started desktop (motorola atrix), also smart watches (motoactv), Laptop docks (lapdock) and a lot of tech

I got this new last year from boost for $150. I bought a unlock code and use it as my daily driver with mint. I have a external monitor i use with it at work.

Android 15 have desktop mode natively. Used Android smartphone will more useful again 😊

RIP Motorola Moto Edge +5G prices on Ebay in the next week after this video

Phones are insanely powerful nowadays. ESPECIALLY iphones that just use the same chips as their laptops. The fact that we haven't transitioned to people just plugging their phones into monitors to do light work on the go is crazy to me

YT: "How many keywords and buzzwords do you want to put in the title of your video?" Prime: YES.

Does that make this "The Best Mini PC I've ever seen?"

NewEgg sponsors your videos? What a perfect pairing between content provider and online store

Nearly twice the performance for approx. half the cost of yesterday's N100 junk, good follow-up.

I've been doing this for the last two years for my desktop solution. Desktop mode on Android is awesome.

Hey ETA I would love to see some Winlator testing with this phone in desktop mode!

Love seeing Marvel vs Capcom 2 on these videos

Wow. That's my current phone. Gotta try this.

That phone is an absolute steal at 120 but I can't find it anywhere at that price anymore. Cheapest I can find it is like $240

Looks great. I hope it has a power by pass to protect the battery life, like the Steam Deck has.

Would love to see you trying out moonlight/sunshine on these mobile desktop set ups!

I got a galaxy s21 ultra for 200 renewed snapdragon 888 gen 2 😮dex, oled beautifull man 12gb ram. 120hz display.

Love this, seems like it would be a cheap cool way to get my son up and running with retro games. Would love to see how ES or Dijisho looks on this desktop mode!

thank you for the great video, really love the content, informative and very helpful, keep up the great work doing what you do.

Wireless desktop through Windows 10/11 is possible too. Love this phone's features. There's a multi part series on the Ready For features on YT.

Nice keyboard. What is it?

FYI. This phone does not have a micro SD card slot. I would suggest the Galaxy S20 with a Snapdragon 865. Less powerful yes, but being able to expand storage on the fly is super convenient for this type of stuff.

It would be nice to see comparison of Motorola and Samsung desktop modes. Also, how selecting text and copy&paste works? I have heard there are some problems on Dex. Also, is there some limitations in number of openned windows as there is for instance on Dex running on Tab6 lite?

I think it's about time to do a take, I don't know how many times you have been doing this for, because we got the full Edge 50 catalog released. But just for the brokies out there, I think you might wanna try the Pro instead of the Ultra.

8 gen 1 + warzon mobile = no hands men !

I think Motorola's desktop mode is probably better than dex. You don't need good lock to access 4K. They have a first-party dock with active cooling

Motorola was the first to implement this with the Motrola Atrix. Amazing at the time

That monitor looks nice. All the bezel are actually symmetrical for once. What monitor is that?

What keyboard is that?

I have a Samsung Galaxy s22 ultra I use on my TV with a Bluetooth controller usually a xbox controller best way to play old games etc imo or say u don't have a xbox console but still wanna play xbox games do it this way with gamepass great new games big TV controller etc u can't lose

wow🎉 welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭

Very impressive for the specs and cost on offer. I'm surprised that F-Zero GX would not run at 720p considering the power that the Gen1 puts out. Would have been useful to see PS2/Wii performance. The desktop mode seems to just work as you want, right from the off with no need to touch developer options or mess around to get more full screen mode. A potential choice for those that might have looked at an SBC, where the GPIO stuff is not important but where power and all round performance would likely trump most of the boards out there. It is a shame that the Gen1 never supported AV1 out of the box because that would have covered the bases for pretty much most media player/streaming capabilities today and tomorrow. It's abut time that Samsung had some real competition in this area and long overdue for all phones to come with video over USB-C as an industry standard.

I've been thinking about getting a travel laptop, something that I can use to remote into my home PC. I think a phone like this might be a good both cheap, and compact way to go about this.

a used note9 is another good option along with a dex dock (which has a built in fan)

Huawei, Honor and OnePlus also has desktop mode too

That's on my watch list. My moto z4 is struggling to keep up with today's apps (not even games).

The biggest question with these is the workflow. Because something like hosting a zoom call can be very frustrating from Android.

Thanks!

At this point, phones should have bypass charging by now or can operate without a battery. Smartphone batteries don't like being hot and being charged full all the time which is the case for phones in desktop mode

A USB-C hub with HDMI out worked with my Moto Thinkphone. I can use my 2.4Ghz Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard for full control.

i wish all brands add Bypass charging feature same as sony xperia phones it will be amazing especially for the price, i’m planning to get a cooler for my sd888 phone do it worth it?

Wish Sony Xperia had this!

Do you think that leaving the smartphone plugged in all the time would affect quickly the battery health?

thanks for sharing!

as long as it need screen mapping when using joystick, definitely feels less game like due to ui still need mouse or touch screen help

More companies need to keep investing in there Mobile to PC option. That can save tons of e-waste in the future!

Is this better than Samsung Dex?? I'm kinda torn between Samsung phones and this Moto Edge+, it looks really smooth..

Nice. I'll need to try this with the new Moto G Stylus 5G i picked up for $40 in Oct.

Would like to see this phone running Windows 11 using the renegade-project and whether or not normal mobile functionality will still be accessible like calls and SMS

Man i love you

So with an adapter like such, we can use an HDMI to HDMI cable where one end connects to the display and the other end connects to the adapter?

Should have tested windows emulated on desktop mode on that phone

This 120 dollar phone is compatible with Nintendo switch, windows 10 games with winlator, all the classic systems, and if you have great Internet you can pay for shadow pc to access to your windows 10 apps like Photoshop via an android app (my dad uses this service on his Linux laptop XP) Anyway this is a good offer against something like the switch lite :v

Does gaming mode supports wake up with a controller or something like that?

Hi this looks better than samsung dex, has more functions

I got this phone last year for $199 512 GB of storage

Video sponsored by Newegg.. parts picked up at Amazon 😂

My Phone is technically stronger than my PC, but there's only so much one could do to utilise that power and Ready For is just the perfect solution for that My PC struggles to run games on the Dolphin Emulator but my Phone is able to run them perfectly on any settings. But the only problem with the phone. Now I can run Emulated games on phones and play them on PC 😂😂 And BTW, my Moto g54 didn't come with Ready For but it works completely fine by just installing the Ready For apk 😂😂

would it not be more effective to attach the cooler to the glass screen of the phone rather than the back, since a lot of the heat is sinked to the oled screen already? that's assuming that youre not using the phone for anything else other than a desktop.

ReadyFor - computer/tablet , MotoConnect - TV

120 dollar is not cheap 😭...hehe but still love watching ur videos

0:44 little lol..that phone is huge. only reason I returned it even tho I got it brand new for 200. well I sold it for 300 lol

Where did you get that dock for 18$? The Amazon listing says it's around 28$ right now.

I think the reason for me going for a Samsung Phone is because of it having Fortnite on it. I would definitely want to get a BETTER smartphone with this desktop mode in the future since my Galaxy S9 is "tired" and having that 64GB of storage ain't enough now.

Not a cheap phone

Please a Samsung S10 dex mode video

Handphone appraisal and reviews are shady all the time. It can be use and all phones are enough for most people daily task in life including using it for emulation long after the phone have become obsolete. Its just that when it come to buying a phone everyone willl use everything to pull down their rivals sales by using design, specs and os updates as reasons to made the phones they dont like to look like useless phones. Anyway back to the main topic. Can phones that no longer recieved os updates as all phones eventually do be able to run emulation normally? If yes then that's good then.

Which monitor you use

You should try mobox and gta 5

There’s a great way to get cheap, powerful phones… so, the ZFold have that huge, sweet folding screen, right? And it’s not that unlikely to break, killing off the value of the phone… on eBay I got a ZFold 2 for 110 euro shipped just because the folding screen was broken! Careful not to get a ZFlip: those don’t do video out.

recently switched to my first rugged smartphone, Blackview BL9000, sofar very pleasant experience, and running android 13 and usb3.0 has typeC to HDMI, but no implementation of a desktop mode like such, only know of samsung, Motorola, Huawei and ZTE (Nubia) to have such. Maybe any recommendations for a launcher, app, or frontend comparable?

Does Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 support Desktop mode/DeX? Running KitKat 4.4.2

I was wondering can I run a thunderbolt or a graphic card through the cell phone like you have it on the computer.

Hi! What monitor is that?

What about pairing it with an laptop? Good ideea, bad ideea?

Not one on ebay is even cloae that price shipped lol

Nice

Has anyone found a way to do this without horrendous lag? Whenever I use a Series X controller with my Galaxy S24 Ultra the inputs are so far behind any game other than an RPG is unplayable.

Make a video on winlator readyfor

Hey, what keyboard is that?

Can you turn off the phone screen?(i've only seen it turned on ).asking the same question for Samsungdex also.

Can i make a same set-up with my xiaomi mi pad 6?

Shame Moto don't give you android updates, I have a G100 and the last one I got was 12, so I'll try to switch to Samsung.

Yeah, this phone is like nearly $300 now

I really don't get desktop mode. Since the iPhone 3G I am getting used to fullscreen with every window and just switch.. I also use full screen for every program on my desktop

Bro, how about Android 15 beta developer preview have video out option on pixel 8 pro, could this video out option also available for pixel 6a too right

My question is can I do this with my Motorola Moto 5 g stylus?

3:04 what about Moto Edge 50 Pro

Is it possible to run Windows 10 or XP? Thanks.

I know only - Samsung - Huawei Now, i added Motorola 😮

Hello! Can you make something like this but using screen + LG.

Can the screen on the Moto be turned off and still use this feature once it's activated or does it stay on while in use? Can anyone answer this for me please?

Friends, I really need advice from motorola owners, namely, experience with ready for with game streaming services like gfn or xbox cloud, can I get 2k 120hz resolution in gfn through ready for. Thank you very much for your answer.

Can it run switch?

Can i use this on Motorola edge 20 lite?
