------ So really, DeX only works well (with HDMI cable) on Note9 and Tab S4?



Older phones require the Dex Dock or Pad (which adds HDMI and other ports). With the Note9, you can plug a USB-C to HDMI cable right into it.


There was/is a "C-Force" branded hub that was smaller and (slightly) cheaper than the DeX dock that put the S8/+ into DeX mode just fine.


Hm. I can already plug a USB-C to HDMI cable into my Note8.

Does it work if you do that + use Bluetooth peripherals?


It works well on the other devices too, you just need the dex station.
