With the release of Samsung Galaxy Note 9, we see that Samsung is going further and further on the road to computerization of mobile phones. The expansion of DeX that is compatible with Samsung mobile phones is getting smaller and smaller. I recently summarized some of the products made by manufacturers who once wanted to make the dream of integrating mobile phones and computers. Let's take a look together.
Windows Phone Continuum
If you want to unify the platform, Microsoft once had such a dream. This is the Windows Phone and ConTInuum model. Microsoft officially launched the ConTInuum model in 2015. However, at that time, Windows Phone was already weak and unable to recover.
In fact, Microsoft's ideals at the time were very good, but due to the deformity of the Windows Phone ecosystem, not many Windows Phone applications support the ConTInuum mode, which quickly extinguished Microsoft's dream of platform unification.
Motorola Atrix and LapDock
In 2011, the configuration of the mobile phone was not as good as it is now, but Motorola also has its own plan. At CES that year, Motorola and AT&T launched the Atrix mobile phone, which was the first PenTIle QHD screen phone with 24-bit images, and more importantly, this phone had a WebTop function. When the phone is plugged into the LapDock base, it can be used in an Ubuntu-based desktop environment, including sending and receiving text messages, surfing the Internet, multimedia playback, and so on.
But this product was as horrible as Motorola's fate, and it didn't take long for this product to stop selling. Motorola still uploaded the source code of WebTop to SourceForge.
Palm Folio
Although Palm is basically cold now, Palm also launched a mobile-computer integrated product-Palm Folio in 2007. As a companion to the Treo series at that time, with Palm Folio, the mobile phone can be expanded into a Linux-based operating system. This "small computer" has 256MB of flash memory, which can be said to start in seconds. However, this product was cancelled three months after its release.
This product seems to be really tasteless now. There is no WiFi or Bluetooth, and it can only be synchronized through Palm mobile phones.
Redfly Mobile Companion
If Palm Folio is weird, Redfly can be even more weird. This Redfly C7, launched in 2007, supports Windows Mobile smart phones with a battery life of up to 5 hours and even has two USB ports. However, this product has no CPU or RAM, all relying on the phone itself. But the popular Nokia phones and BlackBerry phones at the time did not support this product, which eventually led to their own destruction.
ASUS Zenfone PC Link
The PC Link function of the ASUS Zenfone series is considered a good practice in the integration process of mobile phones and computers. This function is completely dependent on software. It allows Zenfone devices to be mirrored to the Windows PC. After the projection, the system can be controlled through the mouse and keyboard. operating. Although this is not a feature unique to ASUS, this feature is very flexible and can complete integrated tasks.
Samsung DeX
Samsung launched DeX when the Galaxy S8 was released. This product allows Samsung phones to connect to the display through DeX and directly turn into an operable desktop. At the same time, mouse and keyboard operations can also be performed through DeX. However, the sales volume of this product was not very good when it was first launched, because many people felt that why they didn't complete the related tasks directly on the PC, they also chose to buy a bulky external device to use the mobile phone to work.
However, the latest DeX is considered the third-generation product. The third-generation DeX is the mobile product itself. You don’t need complicated external devices and only need a USB-C to HDMI cable. The keyboard and mouse can be connected via Bluetooth. , This can best complete the quick conversion operation from mobile phone to computer. We see in the future that the built-in DeX mode of Samsung Note 9 will make it more convenient to use mobile phones for office work. In the future, we can imagine that our mobile phone is a mobile computer, and the office only needs a monitor and a wireless mouse and keyboard to complete daily work.
