How to Charge Your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 During DeX Mode

Charging Your Galaxy Z Fold 7 in DeX Mode

• 💡 If your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is connected to a monitor via USB-C for DeX mode, the single USB-C port will be occupied.
• 🔌 To charge your phone while using DeX, you'll need a USB-C splitter or hub that supports both data transfer (for the monitor) and power delivery.

Using a USB-C Splitter or Hub

• 🔌 A USB-C splitter can convert one USB-C port into two, allowing you to connect both the monitor and a charger simultaneously.
• 🎯 Ensure the splitter or hub explicitly states support for data transfer and power delivery (PD).

Charging with HDMI and a Multiport Hub

• 🔌 For connections using HDMI, a multiport USB-C hub is recommended.
• ⚡ These hubs typically include an HDMI port for display output and a USB-C port with Power Delivery (PD) for charging.
• ✅ Simply plug the HDMI cable into the hub and connect the hub to your phone, then plug your charger into the hub's USB-C PD port.

Confirmation and Tips

• 🔋 Once connected, verify that your Galaxy Z Fold 7 indicates it is charging, even while DeX mode is active.
• 💡 This setup ensures your phone remains powered, allowing for uninterrupted use of DeX mode.
