[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] KSlith:
I'm compiling a list of Type-C Adaptors that have been rumored or shown to support DeX mode. Share what devices you've seen doing it below, bonus points for video proof. EDIT: I'd share links to these things directly, but XDA limits links for freshies, and I refuse to post anything if I'm not being helpful so this'll have to do.

If you already have a Type-C dock that someone has said at some point launches DeX mode, but it doesn't initiate DeX mode when you plug it in, try a few troubleshooting ideas from the next post, it may just work after all.

SMOS DeX Station (Available on Amazon, $56)

Working Proof: YES Youtube: V54NJwB3f00

Features. 2x USB 2.0, HDMI Out, Type-C Power Input

Notes: OLDER MODELS MAY NOT WORK AFTER ANDROID OREO UPDATE, SAMSUNG PURPOSEFULLY PATCHED TO PREVENT THIS ONE FROM WORKING!

supposedly perfect functionality, stands up the phone and supposedly works flawlessly with cases. not much to talk about here as the mainstream alternative everyone already knows about.

Melopow Dex Station for Samsung Galaxy S8 S8 Plus Note8 (AKA Mellow/Mello M002, Available Via Amazon, $25, search "Melopow DeX M002")

Working Proof: YES , User Testimonials , Youtube video, and Amazon user reviews. YT: 84sOHCWd6DA

Features: 1x USB 3.1, HDMI Out, Type-C Power Input

Notes:

Rocketek-like clone with the highest success report rate but flimsy cable, if you are going to get a clone and don't mind reinforcing the cable yourself, this is the clone you probably want. Attach power first.

WDLAND USB C Hub, 7 in 1 (Available via Amazon, $33)

Working Proof: YES , User Testimonials

Features: 2x USB 2.0, 1x USB3.1 Type-A, HDMI, SD/TF reader, Type-C or Thunderbolt Power Input

Notes:

Attach power first, Note8 confirmed NEEDS a quick charge power supply, may also need quick charge supply for S8/S8+ if using more than 2 peripherals at the same time.

KSWNG Portable Dock for Nintendo Switch (Available on Amazon, $20)

Working Proof: YES , User Testimonial and Amazon user review photos

Features: 1x USB 3.1, HDMI Out, Type-C Power Input

Notes:

Rocketek-like clone with high success rate, still works after Oreo update, Note8 may need a High-Amp power supply to enter DeX mode with this dock, S8&S8+ work fine. Power MUST be attached BEFORE docking your device! May also require formatting your device before use, but only 2 instances of this have been reported. Like it's other Rocketek brothers, these are FRAGILE.

Rocketek USB-C HDMI Hub (Available on Amazon, $25.99)

Working Proof: YES Youtube: EzlIYUnuJ5c

Features: 1x USB 3.1, HDMI Out, Type-C Power Input

Notes:

Durability is an well known issue for this and it's brethren, this variant is not recommended for areas with erratic voltage, Built-in cable, DeX mode on these is supposedly fully functional !when the unit itself works!, but I've only ever seen it used without power.

ZYNUN USB Type C HDMI (Available on Amazon, $30)

Working Proof: YES , User Testimonial

Features: 2x USB 3.1, HDMI, Type-C power input, Fold-Away cable

Notes:

Attach power first, May always require quick charger, may only need for Note8.

Wofalodata Type C to HDMI Adapter for Nintendo Switch/Samsung Galaxy S8/Note 8 (Available via Amazon, Search "Wofalodata", $59)

Working Proof: YES Youtube: s5xYe9N7how

Features: 3x USB 3.1, HDMI Out, Type-C power Input

Notes:

Fold Away Cable, Built-In cable, reviews suggest you CANNOT power this one during DeX mode, but all 3 USB ports work. (just speculation, but it might JUST need a simple modification to charge while using DeX, depends on if the Type-C port on a real DeX can be used with a OTG adapter for an additional device)

C-Force CF-001 and CF-002 (aka C-Force TAS) (Available via Amazon, $60-$80 depending on vendor)

Working Proof: NO, OUNTDATED RUMORS ONLY

Rumor Details: Discussed lightly in the main DeX Thread at https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/accessories/samsung-dex-t3593828/

Features: (CF-001) 2x USB 3.1, 2x USB Type-C Data Input, HDMI Out, Type-C Power Input.

​

(CF-002) 1x USB 3.1, HDMI Out, Type-C Power IN

Notes: These supposedly work perfectly with power, USB, and HDMI in DeX mode, but still need power attached to the device, don't own one myself but 5 users' recommendation makes it worth checking out.

C-Force CF-003 (Ebay and Taobao ONLY for now, $50-80 depending on vendor)

Working Proof: NO, Manufacturer Claim ONLY

Notes:

I've got VERY little information on these beyond the claim that they launch DeX mode, don't own one myself, and don't have any testimonials to the effect. if someone has the cash to pick one up and share if it works and how well it works the lot of us would appreciate it.

If I disappear for more than a week (unlikely, I have XDALabs installed for notifications but I've been known to lurk hard) I give moderators permission to take over or replace the thread.
