Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7: How to Charge While Using DeX Mode

Connecting for DeX and Charging

• 💡 If your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is connected to a monitor via a standard USB-C cable that supports video output, charging is possible if the monitor itself supports power output.
• ⚡ Some monitors, like the one shown, can provide up to 65W of power, allowing simultaneous charging and DeX usage.

Solutions for Monitors Without Power Output

• ⚠️ If your monitor does not support power output, a USB-C splitter is recommended.
• 🔌 Ensure the splitter supports video output in addition to charging, otherwise DeX mode will not function.

Using HDMI Hubs for DeX and Charging

• 🔌 When using an HDMI cable, connect it to a USB-C hub that also features a Power Delivery (PD) USB-C port.
• 🔋 This PD port on the hub allows you to connect a charger, ensuring your phone stays charged while outputting video via HDMI for DeX mode.
• 🎯 The hub should have both an HDMI port for video and a separate USB-C PD port for charging.

Verifying Charging Status

• ✅ During DeX mode, you can confirm that your Galaxy Z Flip7 is charging by checking the battery indicator on the phone's display.

Key Takeaways for DeX Charging

• 🚀 For direct USB-C to monitor connections, verify monitor power delivery capabilities.
• 🧩 If using HDMI, a USB-C hub with HDMI and Power Delivery is essential for simultaneous charging and DeX.
• 💡 Always ensure your chosen accessories support both video output and charging for a seamless DeX experience.
