personally my experience with anything samsung is that it's locked down to hell so i don't know how useful dex actually is. the idea is neat though, wish someone else did it.
DEX is actually pretty good when used with a keyboard and external monitor. I also dont love thr Samsung walled garden, but I end up buying their products because I use my phones for several years at a time before replacing them so top end hardware specs are a priority and especially cameras.
I would go Sony but the data band support in the US is incomplete, and I can't get caught out by poor cell service while traveling.
I am considering going Pixel next but Graphene hasn't been announced for Pixel 10 yet so I'm a bit on the fence, I guess I could buy an older model and give it a try wifi only for a bit to see how I like it.
i've flipped between sony and lg for my past three phones (which is a period of 14 years at this point), and been forced to use samsung stuff for work. the main difference i've found is that not only is samsung hard to switch from due to their walled garden stuff, they're hard to switch to.
