Abstract: Alright, so what is DeX?DeX stands for Desktop Experience – allowing your Android phone to be used with a big screen through an HDMI cable connected with either the DeX Station or the DeX Pad. In a way it's similar to Microsoft's Display Dock for the Wind...

Abstract: It'S A DREAM that predates the smartphone revolution by at least a few decades: the idea that, one day, we'll all be able to have just one little digital device that caters to all our computing needs. However, it's been the rise of smartphones over the la...
Easy to use, Turns the phone into a desktop computer, Multiwindow, multitasking, Phone charges while docked
Most apps appear in small phone sized windows that can't be resized, Netflix would not work, Some apps won't work at all while docked in the DeX
I enjoyed using the Samsung Dex Station and am excited for the future of devices like this one. I would happily go down to one device if the OS on that one device was beefed up a little more, all apps took advantage of full-screen mode, and there were doc...

Samsung's DeX EE-MG950 docking station is a very exciting product that is primarily suitable for private users who want to simply organize their emails on a bigger screen or take care of some image editing. Using it in a corporate environment would also b...
Great implementation of a desktop experience, turns your S8 or S8+ into a desktop PC, lots of ports,
Only works with the Galaxy S8 and S8+, needs significant assets (keyboard, mouse and monitor) to make it work, not all apps work in desktop mode,
Unfortunately, the DeX isn't able to work by its lonesome. It needs a lot of additional hardware to achieve full functionality. Odds are you'll have a spare monitor, keyboard and mouse lying around but those that don't may need to fork out for it which ma...
Abstract: Here's our quick take on the new wireless charger that Samsung announced at the same time as the Galaxy S8.It's awesome, big and expensive.Now for more detail.The original Sammy accessories have always carried a premium price. But 91 Aussie bucks for just...
Abstract: Samsung DeX promises a lot. With nothing more than the DeX dock and a monitor, keyboard and mouse, you're supposed to be able to "leave your computer behind" and "make anyplace a workplace". by converting your smartphone into a desktop computer. And yo...
Abstract: It's useful, but it isn't practical, and you should only consider one if you're into the novelty.Admittedly, I'm in a bit of disbelief that I'm writing a review for a desktop operating system that's running off of the Galaxy S8+. Who knew this would be o...

Turns the S8 into a surprisingly decent PC, Familiar desktop interface, Dead-simple setup
No headphone jack, Not all apps work correctly in DeX, Required components could cost extra
If you already own a Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus, then Samsung's DeX dock is a fascinating proposition. For $150, you could cobble together a system that actsan awful lot like a PC.The interface is familiar and overall performance is prettyimpressive -- a testam...

With all the rough edges, weird limitations, and occasionally blurry text and video with this system, I wouldn't call the DeX an unmitigated success. Samsung needs to figure out how to better control the sizes and locations of each window, while also offe...
