android can do this

How so? You mean running a full Linux VM or something? Android doesn't run any desktop apps natively.

if you mean the tablet UI mode, yeah, that's an easy thing for Apple to implement. I think they already have, more or less. iPadOS already has mouse support.

I’m referring to Samsung and dex mode. There are phones that do this, I just don’t know the official name.

Dex mode and spoofing magnetic strips are the two things I really miss about using a Samsung device.

What do you think about the s20 as a device today?

I have an iPhone 15, but I need to have a backup phone on hand for my work. I was thinking of selling my old xr and getting the s20 as they cost about the same.

Not sure if it’s just better to hold onto the xr.

My wife is still using her S20+ and has no intention of changing anytime soon. I think it's still a really solid device that should stick around for a while.

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does she ever use the dex mode? This is particularly interesting to me, but it doesn’t seem that many people use their phone that way.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

She doesn’t, but she doesn’t have a usecase for it. I used it a lot. My work takes me to a lot of different sites run by my company and all our desk workstations have a USB-C dock with monitors, a mouse, and a keyboard. So, if I was unexpectedly without my laptop, I could work reasonably well with just my phone plugged in.

Thanks, it's too bad that Apple hasn't implements this yet.
