my S22 plus Samsung Dex with dex pad to monitor kitchen table setup

SAMSUNG Galaxy S22 Ultra Smartphone, Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone, 128GB, 8K Camera & Video, Brightest Display, S Pen, Long Battery Life, Fast 4nm Processor, US Version, Burgundy

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I bought a new kitchen table and thought I'll re-set up and use my old dex pad linking to a monitor that I already have on the wall. I had to search around for my USB-A to USB-C cable and just re-used the HDMI cable to connect.

The Dex pad still works fine even after not using it, I think, for almost 3 years. I even forget that I can connect my wired mouse and keyboard to it. If you don't want messy cables, Bluetooth is the way to go. But, if you already have an extra mouse and keyboard, might as well use 'em.

A couple years back, I tested my dex pad with a portable monitor, using it as a PC or laptop. I was testing it with my Samsung S10 or was it the S10 plus. You can connect the Xbox controller via Bluetooth and play some games that have controller support.

I haven't checked out any new latest mobile games but games that have controller support are far and few between back then. Games that do are fun to play with a real controller instead of the touch. Though the funny thing is now, I don't mind touch control. 



Xbox Core Wireless Controller + USB-C Cable – Carbon Black

Remember, you can only use an Xbox controller that has Bluetooth you can connect to your phone. Those old controller doesn't have them. Some of my youtube channel video viewers didn't know that. Asking me how I connect to my phone.

That is one of the reasons I like android phones. I especially like Samsung because of  Samsung Dex and the dex pad. But, now you don't need a dex pad to connect to a computer or laptop. But, if you want to connect to a Tv or monitor, you'll need something like the dex pad.

Samsung actually had the Ubuntu for Android project but they shelve it later on. It was pretty interesting and fun to play around with. You can check out my video for Linux on dex beta here. Too bad you can't play with them anymore.

Razer Project Linda was interesting too. You can use the Razer phone which doesn't exist anymore and use it with a laptop shell. Razer shelves their mobile department. Not sure why. I kinda like it. But, it had lots of problems. You can check out my unboxing video here.

There was a Samsung DexBook aka lapdock concept that looks pretty cool. You can check out the video I did on it here. The website that hosts the concept doesn't exist anymore though. Too bad, Samsung wasn't interested to create it. I would have bought it.

I created a poll asking if anyone would be interested in it and got a good response. Samsung decided to create a laptop that's more mobile. I think they used a mobile processor. I don't understand why there's no big company interested in a lap dock. The Linda Project and Samsung DexBook were a cool idea!

Will they sell? I'm pretty sure it will. Mobile phones are getting more powerful. Even on par with some laptops. Okay, not those high-end gaming laptops. Everyone has a mobile phone. They use it for pretty much everything nowadays. Why not create a lapdock to expand its usage?

ROG Phone 5 Launch Event - Event Highlight - For Those Who Dare


Asus ROG Phone 3 512GB 12GB RAM 5G ZS661KS / I003DD SD865+ Global Version - Black Glare

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Wow! After watching the Asus ROG Phone 5 Event highlight, I think they're definitely going all out. It's kinda funny that even though Razer has been hyping about going into the mobile gaming phone market, they close shop while Asus just keeps going strong.

I'm already an Asus ROG gaming laptop fan and now, I'm probably going to be their mobile gaming phone fan. Although, I'm still sticking with my Samsung phone. It's because I've bought and used a Razer gaming phone before and now I just have faith in Samsung mobile.



Asus ROG Phone 3 512GB 12GB RAM 5G ZS661KS / I003DD SD865+ Global Version - Black Glare

What I hope is that Asus will come out with their own version of the Razer "Project Linda" lap dock aka laptop shell for their mobile gaming phone. Asus boasts about their latest CPU snapdragon 888. That's pretty powerful but what's the use of all that power if you're just playing casual games?

The triple-A game dev needs to port their games to mobile straight. Just like they ported their game to the Nintendo Switch. Imagine, playing Skyrim or Doom on your mobile phone? And, I don't mean streaming. I mean installing the game so you can play it offline, any time and anywhere!



ASUS Wired Gaming Earbuds ROG Cetra | Noise Cancelling Earbuds with Large 10mm Drivers | Secure & Comfortable Ear Fit | Multi-Device Compatible - PC, Mac, Xbox One, Playstation 4/5, Nintendo Switch

To me, if the game dev doesn't do that, I'll rather play the games on my cheaper Nintendo Switch lite. This gaming phone isn't cheap that's for sure. And, they don't even come with a physical controller. Although, I'm interested to try out the Air Trigger technology.

There are actually 3 versions of the Asus ROG phone if I can remember correctly. The most expensive, obviously, is the ROG Ultimate. It boasts 18GB of Ram, 6400Mbps clock speed, and the most advanced 3200mHZ ram clock.

Another thing I'm mystified by is why nobody making a gaming tablet. Like I've said before, gaming companies like Asus and Razer can easily create a gaming tablet. One thing for sure is that it'll have a bigger screen size. I think a 7-9 inch screen size tablet would be just nice for gaming.

And, with all that power, it can also become a replacement for your laptop or desktop. Sometimes, we don't need a heavy-duty laptop with Microsoft Windows OS. You can use a keyboard case and voila, do your school homework, work project, or just for watching youtube.



ASUS USB3.0_HZ-3B Docking Universal Laptop Docking Station, Black

Nowadays, Android OS is already powerful enough to run the latest apps. Get a docking system, something like the above Asus laptop dock but using it with your phone or tablet. I actually like this dock more than the mobile dock accessory for the ROG phone.

Oh, I also like the latest ROG Strix Go BT Headphones that they announced at the launch event. The design doesn't look awkward as the rest of their triangle theme headset. It actually looks like the Razer Opus Bluetooth headphone. It boasts 45hrs and AI noise canceling.

Not a bad collection of new devices and accessories. Wish they send me the Ultimate ROG Phone Fans edition. That would be cool. In any case, if there's any update on their availability, I'll definitely post it on my blog. So, don't forget to come back!

Project Linda Razer Phone Laptop Dock CES 2018


Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | 128 GB | US Version Smartphone | Pro-Grade Camera, 30X Space Zoom, Night Mode | Cloud Navy

Hey guys,

Check it out!

CES 2018, Razer showed their latest "Project, Linda". A laptop dock that can be used with their Razer Phone. Now, they have close their Razer Phone project and forget about project Linda. With all the big talks on joining the mobile market, they folded just after the release of the Razer Phone 2.

Disappointed is an understatement. I actually bought their CNY, Gold version Razer phone. I really hope Project Linda would be a reality. Finally, our phone has become as powerful as a laptop. And, we literally can use it as a laptop with Project Linda.



Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | US Version 5G Smartphone | Pro-Grade Camera, 8K Video, 108MP High Res | 128GB, Phantom Black (SM-G998UZKAXAA)

I was pretty pumped up when I got the Razer phone. It was actually a pretty good phone. Though, I should at least waited for the Razer Phone 2. I love the design, which is kinda Blackberry-ish. Pretty slim with a finger or thumbprint sensor on the right side.

For some reason, the touchscreen and front camera would always give me problems. I end up selling it off and got the Samsung S10+ instead. My last Samsung phone was the S3. I didn't really like it before because I hated Android back then. Now, I simply love them!



Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ N975F/DS 256GB, 6.8' Dynamic AMOLED Screen, 12GB RAM, Quad Camera, 4K UHD Factory Unlocked LTE Smartphone - (International Version) (Aura Glow)

Now, my current phone is the Samsung Note 10+. I actually sold my S10+ and bought the Note 10+ because of the S Pen. The S Pen is much better now because you can also use it to take a selfie, control your screen with gestures, and of course for writing or drawing.

Okay, why exactly am I talking about the Samsung phone in this post about Razer, Project Linda? Because I'm hoping (praying) that Samsung or a third party will create something like Project Linda but for the Samsung phone.

I love Samsung Dex. I even bought a Dex Pad, so that I can connect my Samsung phone to a portable monitor and use it as a laptop or desktop. Nowadays, you can just connect with a USB C cable. But, I prefer a Dex pad because it comes with a cooling fan.

Samsung should make a lap dock for their mobile phone because their phone is getting more and more powerful. Especially, with their latest Exynos 2100 CPU and Mali G78 GPU for mobile gaming. With that kind of power, would be great be using it as an Android laptop with a keyboard and mouse.

I've tried using the phone as the main computer with Samsung dex and Dex pad but unless it's your main computer, it's kinda a hassle to take out your mouse and keyboard, set them up, and then keep it again once you're done. 

Having that experience, that's why an all-in-one lap dock will be very nifty. All you have to do is take out the lap dock, dock in your phone and start using it. The best thing is that you can charge it at the same time. Although, I feel there should be a cooling fan below the phone cause it can get really hot!

If ever Samsung wants to emulate Project Linda, they should name it Project Sarah. Get it? Sarah, S for Samsung? Anyway, there's actually a concept art of a Dexbook which I got from a site and make a video. You can check it out here. Would be cool if they decide to make it into a reality.

Why I prefer Samsung Note 10 Plus Android than Apple iPhone 11?


Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus Factory Unlocked Cell Phone with 512GB (U.S. Warranty), Aura Black/ Note10+

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've always liked and used Apple iPhone. But, recently I've decided to switch to Samsung S10+. Yesterday, I've upgraded and got myself the Note 10+ Aura Glow. The phone is beautiful, stable and got the Harman Kardon Citation One smart speaker as a free gift.



But, why did I switch? No, I'm not talking about the Nintendo Switch. I switched to using an android phone, specifically the Samsung Galaxy S is because I can connect it to a portable monitor and turn it into a pc with the Samsung Dex user interface.

All I need is the Dex pad. But, guess what? Since I've upgraded to a Note 10+, now I can connect to any laptop or pc and use my phone as a pc. I don't need a lap dock anymore. Although, you'll actually have to own a laptop or pc in the first place.

Now, I can even easily connect my phone to the pc wirelessly with Microsoft Your Phone companion app. I can do all the usual stuff like WhatsApp, phone message, share photos and much more. This is way cool and part of the reason why I prefer the Note 10+ over the iPhone.



One thing I really hate is the iPhone notch. It's so glaring and in your face. That's why I decided to get the Razer phone and then went on to the S10+. I do like iOS. I just dislike the same design of the iPhone. It's been a couple of years since they change the design.

Samsung though is walking on thin ice. The Linux on Dex team just emailed us yesterday that they're not working on the Linux on Dex beta anymore. In fact, if you've updated your phone to the latest android 10 beta it won't work anymore. Such a waste. I really like playing with Linux on my phone!

Of course, that's also part of the reason why I prefer the Samsung phone. I want Samsung to work on making the phone into an all-in-one mobile computing device. The mobile phone is always with us. We play games, check our emails, take photos and videos on it. We'll also even edit them on the phone. In fact, most of us spend more time on our phones then a pc.

Wouldn't it be cool to return home and just dock it and use it as a computer? You can even control everything in your house with your phone. Yeah, you can already do that now. But, it's not there yet. It's not too common enough. The mobile phone is already powerful enough. In fact, my Note 10+ has 256gb of storage space and 12gb of rams!

The only way Samsung is going to win the mobile phone war is to be unique and different from the iPhone. To offer more than the iPhone doesn't do or have. You can't dock your iPhone to a lapdock or access it on your computer. Okay, you can mirror it. But, not wirelessly like you can with the Note 10+. Samsung also has the Dex pad and Samsung Dex. Which is a great UI!

Get the Note 10+ and enjoy all those unique capabilities!

  • S pen’s newest Evolution gives you the power of air gestures, a remote shutter and playlist button, and handwriting-to-text, all in One Magic wand.
  • With a full set of Pro lenses, super-stabilization, live video bokeh, and precision audio recording, Note 10+ is a studio in your pocket.

  • Number of SIM - Dual-SIM; SIM size - Nano-SIM (4FF) ; SIM Slot Type - SIM 1 + Hybrid (SIM or MicroSD)



I haven't even talked about the Note 10+ S pen. Which is not just a pen that you can use to tap on the phone. But, to take photos, using gestures to control pictures or presentations. Heck, you can even play the latest Harry Potter game with it. This is definitely a business-class phone.

Well, of course for me, I concentrate mostly on the gaming side. And, with the latest glap game controller specially designed for the Note 10+. It will fit the Note 10+ nicely. But, I don't have it right now. It's a little expensive than my iPega 9087s. I'll do a video of it if they want to sponsor me. Hehe!

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus Factory Unlocked Phone with 256GB!


Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus Factory Unlocked Phone with 256GB (U.S. Warranty), Aura Glow (Silver)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Now you can pre-order Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Or 10+ via amazon. If you're looking for an upgrade from an older-gen phone, this would be a leap of faith. There are so many features available on this phone, you'll be pretty overwhelmed.

Recently, I have switched from an iPhone 7+ to a Razer Phone and finally to a Samsung Galaxy S10+ . And, I'm still loving the phone right now. If I hadn't just recently got the S10+, I'll go for the Note 10+. Simply because the Note 10+ is becoming almost like a tablet or a laptop.

I like Samsung on Dex and Linux on Dex beta. Which is like having a laptop or a full Linux experience. Read up my post and video upload here. Nowadays, you don't have to bring your laptop along with you for work or for play. Just bring along the dex pad, portable monitor, a bluetooth mouse, and keyboard.

The phone will always be with you, no matter where you go. Which of course include all your files and data. Watch movies or check your emails on a bigger screen. Whatsapp with your family or co-workers using a keyboard which is much faster and accurate.

One of the new features of the Note 10 is that you can plug in your phone to a desktop or laptop and you can access your phone data on it. It's basically Samsung Dex on pc. Which is way cool. I saw videos that you can even transfer files between them. Wonder, if Linux on Dex for pc would work too?

Pre-order the phone via the links below:

  • Fast-charging, long-lasting intelligent power and super speed processing outlast whatever you throw at Note 10+.

  • With a full set of Pro lenses, super-stabilization, live video bokeh, and precision audio recording, Note 10+ is a studio in your pocket.
  • Note 10’s nearly bezel-less Infinity display gives an immersive, cinematic quality to whatever you’re viewing.

I haven't even talked about the new S pen. Which Samsung added more capabilities. Some people would say it's just gimmicks. I find it interesting. For vloggers, now you can do more with the help of the S pen. Harry Potter would have been very excited!

I actually had a quick look at the phone while celebrating my birthday the other day in a shopping mall and I like it. I like the design, the feel, the touch and also played around with the S pen. Who knows, I might sell my S10+ and get the Note 10+ later on!

By the way, I just found out about this controller for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and it looks pretty solid. I think my S10+ and other phones will fit just nice on it. It also works well for steam link gaming. Take a looksie!

HP V8H07UT Elite X3 Lap Dock Samsung Dex for S10+


HP V8H07UT Elite X3 Lap Dock

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I just found out that you might be able to connect your S10+ to the HP V8H07UT X3 Lap dock and use Samsung Dex. And, it's not too expensive. Maybe, because, it's been around for quite awhile now. That would be way cool!

One good thing about this is that, your phone will be the main central computer. And, the laptop will be just an added accessories. Now, you don't have to carry around extra keyboard, mouse and portable monitor.

The HP Elite X3 Lap Dock, is an all-in-one accessory for your S10+. You can link your phone via dual usb-c cable or wirelessly. If you connect it via usb-c cable, you can even charge your phone at the same time. Pretty nifty, don't you think?

Now, that's what I call mobile computing. The S10+ and other phones are getting more powerful and it certainly can be an all-in-one workhorse for you. All you need are the ability to connect it to a projector, large tv or a monitor and you're ready to go.

If only Samsung, will do something like this. The dex pad are very useful and light. You can carry it around and just connect to basically anything. But, if you're on the road and you want a bigger screen with keyboard then something like the HP Lap dock would be nice!

How about it Samsung?




HP V8H07UT Elite X3 Lap Dock

  • Go wired or wireless.
  • Talk, text and run mobile apps on your HP Elite x3 and work with Windows and corporate apps using Windows Continuum
  • Easily extend your HP Elite x3 with a large FHD screen and backlit, spill-resistant keyboard.
  • Show and share your work on an external display or projector with the micro HDMI connector, and add your accessories with two USB-C ports.
  • Keep working with a generous 46.5 WHr battery, and get your HP Elite x3 back to full battery power with USB-C charging, even when the display is closed.

I'm actually wondering, if Samsung knew about the HP Elite X3. Because, lo and behold, you can pair this with your Samsung phone from an S9, note9 to an S10. Do you remember the Razer phone and laptop dock demo a year or two ago?

The mobile phone are already considered a mini computer inside your pocket. It can pretty much do what a laptop or pc can do right now. You can already check emails, read books, visit website, watch movies and of course listen to music.

You can link up your phone to a projector for a presentation, or watch movies on a bigger tv screen and play your favorite games. Although, you can't compare gaming on a console to a mobile phone, yet. What's worse are that most mobile games are not even a full game with lots of ads and in-purchased.

If good pc games can be ported to android. That's a good start. Imagine, being able to play Diablo or Skyrim on your phone. If you're tired of the small screen, you can just dock it to your laptop dock or to a dex pad.

Right now, there's already bigger storage, 1TB S10+ and microsd card. You can download all the big games you want and play it anytime and anywhere. You don't need a separate computer or laptop with separate hard drive anymore. You have a mini computer right in your pocket!

Are mobile computing the future?

It's been a long journey but we're getting there!
