About

Mobile technology videos for the discerning gadget enthusiast, brought to you by Michael Fisher. My name is Michael Fisher. I’m a writer, sailor, podcaster and recovering actor whose childhood obsession with science fiction never quite faded. A quarter-century later, the technology that I coveted as a kid – from folding-screen phones to wearable tech – is woven into the fabric of everyday life. I’ve spent the past 15 years making videos that strive to uncover the truth of these products through detailed reviews. Welcome to MrMobile!

Dbrand your devices here: https://dbrand.com/mrmobile [SAMSUNG DEX / NEXDOCK 360 REVIEW 2022] Every business that has underestimated the smartphone, and every product that’s tried to fight it, has either been absorbed or killed by the smartphone. So when I suggest that maybe the smartphone could kill off the laptop too, think twice before you say I’ve finally lost it.  I’m Michael Fisher and I took a trip to Mystic Connecticut with only a smartphone-powered laptop for computing company. I’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and why I believe this concept has never really caught on, in MrMobile’s Samsung DeX 2022 / NexDock 360 Review! [ABOUT MRMOBILE’S SAMSUNG DEX / NEXDOCK 360 REVIEW 2022] This Samsung DeX Review 2022 / NexDock 360 Review was produced following three months with a NexDock 360 review sample provided by NexDock. Device was tested with a Galaxy Fold 3 and Nintendo Switch (purchased by MrMobile) and a Galaxy S22 Ultra review sample provided by Samsung. Additional review samples provided by Shadow and Chargeasap. MrMobile does not accept compensation from the manufacturers of the products he reviews in exchange for producing content. No payment was provided and no manufacturer or carrier was afforded a preview, editorial input or copy approval rights concerning this review. The lone sponsor of this video is dbrand.
