So we have a USB-C on both ends of our charger cable for the Note 10, so I assume we can use the charging cable from the Note 9 (USB-C to USB-A) to connect to our PC for the DeX function to work?

Otherwise this means the purchase of yet another cable!

I think my PC has a USB-C on the motherboard so it may not be an issue for me but alot of people may not know this.
 
Since USB-A has only 4 connections (2 for power, 2 for data), any "USB-C on one end, USB-A on the other" cable should work.
 
Wait, are you saying the Note 10+ comes with a usb-C to usb-C cable out of the box? I don't really mind this because my home laptop has a usb-C connector, but this is curious.

From the unboxing videos I've seen, it's a usb-c to usb-c cable in the box.

It's something to expect with the faster charging. USB C can carry higher power than USB A, so they need it USB C both ends for the 25W and 45W charger. OnePlus devices also started using USB C to USB C when they went to using their Dash and Warp chargers.

Most likely. The problem comes with high powered charging. Standard chargers (like the Note 9 charger) will work just fine with the Note 10, but the 25w charger (and higher) required USB-C to USB-C

It's my understanding that the whole point of USB-C was to eliminate the type A connector eventually anyways. The type C standard was based on using either end of the cord, in either orientation.

Thanks.
I like to connect phone to laptop to transfer photos.
So just wondering. 🤔

And if I needed to charge with brick from my s8+, it would just charge but slow?

Related question: if you use USB-A to connect to a laptop for Samsung DeX, will it charge while DeX is operating? I guess we'll all find out soon!

Well, yes. Because the charger from the S8 is just, 15-18W.

You can also just wirelessly connect to laptop using Flow via WLAN.

It should. I didn't think to check it on my personal laptop's USB 2.0 connection last night, but I just tried it on my work laptop port replicator's 2.0 connection and it worked fine.

Depends. A USB 3.0 type A connector had an additional 5 deep inside the connector.
 
For connecting my Samsung S9 phone to my Microsoft Surface Go (Windows) laptop to transfer files between the two devices, I simply connect a USB-C to USB-C cord to my phone and laptop. My S9 phone will show a pop-up window asking to choose whether to transfer files or simply charge. I got my USB-C to USB-C cable from a local store called Central Computers on sale for around $9. My Surface Go laptop only has a USB-C port, hence the need for the cord. Works great!!
