I've been waiting for a video like this! I found the desktop mode immediately but didn't know how to get the functionality out of it!

well this seems insanely helpful not just for the razer edge, just went through the options on my lenovo legion duel and was able to set it up the same as this

I initially tested my nreal air AR glasses with the Razer Edge at a local verizon and was disappointed to see the black bars. Your tutorial on how to fix this just may cause me to go buy a Razer Edge now. Having an actively cooled, high performance android device that has desktop mode that now properly displays on my nreal air and nexdock 360 AND TV at 4K resolution is amazing!

This is the video I’ve been waiting for 😊

This is awesome, thank you. I have a lenovo tab tablet that doesnt have deskmode, im going to try it. Your videos are the best so helpful

Dude that is amazing! thank you for making this vid ^.^

Before buying a Razer mobile, remember the Razer Phone 2 literally never got an update to Android 10, despite being released at roughly the same time. Never got it. Because Razer doesn't commit to updating their products.

ETA Prime's can-do positivity is infectiously joyful 👍 Very nice video. Kindest regards.

awesome that you can use desktop with this, I have a f 4k dell monitor with video over type c, charging and ethernet. and it works great! the edge fully recognizes the Ethernet controller and even the dell speaker that clips on! 😎 thanks for the vid ETA prime!

Great tutorial again, I've set mine up to an old Nintendo switch Rocketek adapter so it charges at the same time as displaying hdmi.

I tried to do the same thing on my razer edge but it didn't work.I was trying to go step by step on your video but you didn't show us how you set it up on the second screen app.

The old Huawei models like the Mate 20 Pro also benefit from the secondscreen app and still has enough power to make a great gaming device and media centre.

Coming here from Juan Bagnell's Android 13 Desktop Mode video. 🙌🙌

Its my favorite handheld next to my steam deck and switch. Was gonna get an aya neo air plus but for its asking price, i much rather save up and wait for the rog ally.

Hey ETA, Do you have tutorial video of setting up the SecondScreen app?

This Is Crazy! I upgraded from an old Samsung to a new one plus but then got super interested in what Dex or ready for can do. Going to see if I can build something similar for my phone with these tools! Thankyou!

I would love to see your take on a Samsung dex dual screen platform from a mobile device. Any thoughts?

I just wanna say that the Secondscreen app works well the Displaylink usb adapter. The only problem remaining for me is the display over notch option not yet available on my Daijisho frontend.

This is awesome!!!!!!!!

I love mine the only thing I don't like is the rounded corners on the screen also put a backbone controller on it

7 taps to activate dev mode to be exact, some Andoid versions will mention how many taps are left during tapping!

Hey ETA prime was wondering if you could do a review of this budget android tablet called Oscal pad 13, it has a lot of decent features

This was an enjoyable video. I'd went from being really enthusiastic about the Edge when it first launched, to deciding to wait for a bit to see if the prices drop, to forgetting it existed. So, thanks for reminding me to check it out again. I actually quite like the form factor and the fact it's Android . I couldn't care less if it never gets an OS update. I kinda wish the Verizon version had shipped with the ability to natively make phone calls and texts instead of being a data-only device. It costs roughly $200 less than the RedMagic 8 Pro, has a great controller bundled, also has a fan, is from a name brand, and has the ability to work on Verizon 5G (the RM8 is LTE only on Verizon) so if it could've placed phone calls and texts it would've been an amazing alternative to the RM8, as well as normal midranger-type devices. An opportunity missed, in my opinion.

i was disappointed at first, in particular the ram issue, but i ended up buying it anyways and i actually really like it

Wish Galaxy Flip 5 supported dex. This is a really useful guide, thanks!

Does anyone use this for desktop productivity with like Google Docs or some other app? I'm curious, it seems like the most useful function of this functionality would be games, emulators, and Kodi / streaming apps on a bigger screen.

Hi ETA, I've been looking at new phones and most of them, especially mid / flagship killer range ones do not support usb type C 2.2 with video output. Is it that expensive a feature to support? Am I looking at this wrong? is there any other way to enable good video output? This feature completely changes how to work with your phone, I don't even know why net/chromebooks are still a thing when we´re running arround with litteral better pc's in our pockets. Thanks for the review, I do agree with the general opinion that the steamdeck/phone is just a better overall value for the price, but good on them for developing a dedicated device and the magnetic controllers look preety cool.

For eta prime, I have a question about what network did you use the red magic 8 pro? I use cricket wireless which uses the at&t network. However, if an unlocked phone is not compatible with cricket wireless, it will automatically suspend the line. Crazy wireless automatically suspends the unlocked phone that is not compatible with there network is because at&t is picky about using unlocked phones on there network. The unlocked phones on at&t need to be on the white list otherwise it won't work with at&t and any cell phone service provider that uses the at&t network. The reason why at&t requires a white list of phones on there network is because they are restricting the phones that are being used on there network. Ever since at&t shutdown 3g back in 2022, it affects newer unlocked phones for any carrier that uses the at&t network. Tmobile let's you use almost any unlocked phone on there network but at&t is stingy when it comes to using unlocked phones on there network since at&t prefers there customers buy phones from them. I have a bunch of unlocked android phones that used to work with cricket wireless but they no longer with cricket wireless ever since the 3g shut down. At&t is too controlling when using unlocked phones on there network. I used tmobile and metro pcs years ago, but I don't get very good signal and coverage with tmobile and metro pcs. I get better coverage with cricket wireless and when I used to have at&t. I switched from at&t to cricket wireless because the at&t rep on the phone told me that they don't honer the $10 discount when you replace your debt card when you signed up for autopay. For example, when I was on at&t, I would get a $10 discount every month for signing up for autopay and I was using at&t prepaid service not post paid service. The at&t rep on the phone told me that I would lose the $10 autopay discount if I decided to replace my old debt card with a new debt card. The at&t rep on the phone told me in order to keep the $10 I would have to stick to using my old debt card. I had to replace my old debt card since it's old and scratched up and the chip reader was having issues when using it at payment terminals. I asked the at&t rep on the phone will they honor the $10 discount for autopay when I replace my old debt card with a new debt card and the at&t rep said no on the phone because I already got a new debt card and I would only get $5 discount for autopay and I even told the at&t that I'm a current at&t customer and the at&t rep said they can't do anything about it. The $5 discount with autopay for at&t was not worth it because they still charge you taxes and fees even with the $5 and $10 autopay discount. I ended up switched to cricket wireless because I would get the $5 discount from autopay and there is no taxes and fees. I would pay from $60 to $55 with the $5 discount on cricket wireless unlimited data plan with 15gb mobile hotspot. The great thing about the $60 plan with cricket wireless, is that they never throttle your internet speeds whenever you alot of mobile data. I used 100gb more than once every month and I never had issues with my internet being throttled. The only exception would be video streaming for youtube would be stuck at 480p with data saver enabled automatically and no way to turn off data saver since it's greyed out on the cricket wireless app. The terms and conditions of service on cricket wireless website says that data saver can't be turned off and it will always be enabled. I figured out a way to circumvent the 480p video streaming restriction is by using a vpn. I was able to watch 4k youtube videos over mobile data such as 5g with using a vpn. Certain vpn's that I tried would throttle my internet connection and they would cause youtube videos to be stuck on the loading screen. However, I found a vpn that lets me stream 4k youtube videos and use my internet connection without being throttled. The only time my internet would be slow if I was in a location with little to no service. I also get hbo max for free with ads on my unlimited cricket wireless plan. I use the sony xperia 1 iv with cricket wireless and I get full 5g and in some places, I get mm wave 5g since it says 5uw on the top right corner whenever I'm in an area with 5g mm wave. I used to use the sony xperia 1 iii but I found out 5g on the sony xperia 1 iii 5g is only compatible with tmobile and verizon only and not at&t otherwise you are stuck with 4g lte. I upgraded to the sony xperia 1 iv because I wanted full 5g support, 512gb internal storage compared to 256gb internal storage on the sony xperia 1 iii but both have micro sd card slot support, 50 percent brighter screen on the sony xperia 1 iv vs the sony xperia 1 iii and better battery life with the 5,000 mah battery compared to 4,500 mah battery on the sony xperia 1 iii while still retaining the same resolution at 4k oled 120 hz 21:9 aspect ratio from the sony xperia 1 iii to the sony xperia 1 iv. I wanna upgrade to the red magic 8 pro from the z fold 4 because I hate having to use an adapter with using wired headphones that I use all the time with my sony xperia 1 iv. The battery life on the z fold 4 is ok. The only thing that I like about the z fold 4 is the fast charging and the option to enable extra brightness on the display settings since I use the extra brightness 24/7 with the screen display brightness set to manual at 100% maxed out with autobrightness turned off, power savings turned off and dark mode turn off.

What's the performance difference between this and something like the S23 Ultra? Both in desktop mode.

Would totally use this as a cellphone

I use this for mobile games only and it's amazing i do play destiny 2 sometimes tho

How does this compare to the Logitech G Cloud?

Do you think this android 13 out of the box developer tools desktop mode coupled with taskbar app would let you use the new oneplus pro tablet running android 13 and oxygen UI over a single cable mode usb-c desktop + usb + pd [ power delivery ] connection?

can it do video out from the controller usb-c port?

The intention is to make a portable console, but not as simple as a gaming smartphone, for example the RoG Phone and the Nubia Red Magic which have a desktop mode by default.

Question out of curiosity. How come you never tested 4k ps5 remote play on these kind of devices?

Are these developer and desktop options available on every android device running android 13 by chance? Or is this menu and options list only on the razer?

Can I enable desktop mode on redmi note 8 and will it support display c to hdmi?

Bring the 780m video fast plz

Nice!

Really love to see a comparison between the Edge and the red magic 8 pro

So using this app would a Sony xperia 1 iv have similar sort of functionality and a similar/same desktop mode...? And be able to play games on the big screen while the phone screen displays something else?

Did you skip steps with the second screen app ? They’re talking about rooting or running commands to get it to work.

I have been following you YT Channel years back, I am so happy the you got over 1Mil sub. you deserve much more but that will come to. Like always very good video,keep with the good work. I have S23 Ultra almost one month, and still have now time to test DEX I have use to on S21 ultra years back, I must have much more time for my self, but ist hard now wenn I Work in Nursery, coming Home tired. Since I move to Germany i have fall out from Computer World, trying to go back, wich is not easy, but thanks to you and most of good YTubers stain alive! Thank and all the best! p. s. Finally we have Snapdragon on Samsung phones in Europe to😅

I can't use the second method on my flip 5. The taskbar app crashed. Man I'm bummed.

Congratulations

Hi mate, will this work on 21:9 monitors?

Update: Just need to take a look at half of the responses here, proving my point...😑 I'm glad to see that someone is enjoying the Razer Edge! I'm so tired of hearing gamers complain about it! It's a 300 dollar mini tablet that comes with a 100 dollar detachable controller, and it has an awesome amoled display! Too many gamers are expecting it to be like a 1000 dollar smartphone! 🤦‍♂️

Can you make windows run on it like the Ayn Odin

My RedMagic 7S Pro in Diablo mode says hi lol

I have this mind helping me out finding how to get roms on the device easier? I’m trying the vita3k app it’s installing seeing if it works other then that got any ways to getting ps2-3. And another question is there a way to get warzone

I wonder if you can turn off the android's screen and have only the big display on?

Can the Verizon version be unlocked or used with other companies?

have you tried to play minecraft mobile with a keyboard and mouse while in a desktop mode? just wanted to ask if it's possible as I wanted to try that but never got the resources to do so

Many flagship Android Smart phones can do all that AND make calls. Either make handheld gaming PCs or actual console handhelds (PS Vita 2, Xbox handheld, Switch 2 etc..) Streaming only devices or phoneless smart phones are pointless.

Thanks you like

Can you ad windows 11 and test gaming.

Can my Xiaomi device(redmi note 10 s) with G-95 chipset Do That ? ❤

Dawid tested that sansui monitor and it was the worst monitor he ever tested he said it looked like "vasaline being rubbed into his eyes" with awful responce times so don't buy from them

one thing I've seen with this and and dex, etc, is the phone screen stays on, does this not cause burn in issues with AMOLED after a while

The big question is, Can I put the phone to sleep while it's casting to the monitor?

Does this work with vivo pad or iqoo pad too?

it's still shame that Snapdragon G3x gen 1 is such disappointment and even more shameful that Razer didn't go for Project Linda with new Razer Phone alongside..

How to own fools on COD:Mobile: Use a controller

Hey, does this work with the controller attatched?

Hello brother quick question is it good for warzone mobile in 2024 for a casual player?

Does anyone have the stock flash image for the razer edge 5g?

Yo! It’s the wifi version?

Actually this is great when comparing other android devices with a SD888 (which is what it the equivalent to the G3XGen1) it comes with a controller & already has Type C Display out.

How to use second screen root to enable desktop mode?

To bad pixels do not have this kind of function :(

Hi does the edge support egpu? 😊

Can we do this to an ordinary phone or tablet with ,, that developer setup like force to desktop.. , please how to do

What exactly dock is that ?

I have had a few razer devices and they are terrible about software updates

nice👍

I need your help about getting it into PC mode I got baseus 4k120hz 9-1 mouse and keyboard works

Sir could you use the razer edge as a handheld Hi res audio device?

I can’t get black bars to go away in mirror mode even using second display

So, nothing for Surface Duo @ Android 12

I want these! Now it is a worth it! How much it cost?

Not working on Xiaomi Devices, i can get a Black Screen 😢

Can you play stardew valley 1.6 on the edge

Hello can I ask for a link to your hub?

I got the Motorola edge 30 pro . I want to use desktop mode for gaming...can i set it up using obs studio?

what game appears at the beginning of the video?

I have Oppo A95 & I've succeed to turn desktop mode & it gave me prompt to turn off my phone & turn on, but when I use type c to HDMI it doesn't work on my Samsung led tv 😢 i felt bad please I need help on this issue

This setup is pretty janky compared to something like Samsung dex. Impressive you stuck it through to get it working like you did. If mfg. Want to start charging laptop prices and throwing in laptop specs they need to start giving us laptop functionality.

My device can already do that without downloading anything, even wirelessly. 😎

Why not just get a s20 or s21 Ultra and a telescopic controller.. I wish Razer made an all in one solution instead of the equivalent of a 6.8 inch phone in a telescopic controller.

nice

I want to ask. Is this Razer EDGE better than Samsung S8+?

So when is Microsoft going to release the Call of Duty Super Modernwarfare phone? Lol

We went from trying to get away from the desktop to go portable, to trying to turn portable into a desktop.

Android ought to start implementing full on X86 translation like Apple's Rosetta or what MS is trying to do with Windows on Arm because these Android devices no matter how good they are still limited to only Android applications/games and some emulation. or better yet Why don't manufacturers like Samsung and few smaller outlets just offer full Linux options with their devices with some of their own GUI interfaces etc... You get a full on real Desktop OS, more control, features, flexibility and access to PC games and more Emulation.

Jesus christ. The steamdeck blows this away...

I wonder why Google doesn't have a DeX equivalent. I simply refuse to buy Samsung devices due to the bloatware and locked bootloader. Thanks for the video.

What kind of ridiculous bezel shape this phone has?!?!?!?!

Where is rdna 3 igpu video

can pc game by self?
