As a $99 way to turn your phone into a makeshift basic PC, Samsung DeX makes the case if you have an extra monitor and some desk space. But it's best used for light browser work...
Design blends in with desktop workstations, Sleek user interface, Samsung Internet is capable, Unsupported Android apps still work relatively well
Pricey, after buying Galaxy S8, Needs more, and better app support
Yes. If you already own a Galaxy S8 and you often travel to other offices, it may be worth your time to grab a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and the Dex Station to get some casual work done without needing to lug around a laptop. Heavy-duty PC users should st...
Abstract: The idea is enticing: instead of using a computer at home, a smartphone one the move and yet another computer at work, why not just use the same device everywhere? One that works like a smartphone on the move, but which can be hooked up to a big screen an...
The DeX Docking Station is definitely worth the money if you want to turn your S8 or S8+ into a word editing, web browsing, desktop solution. In addition to providing keyboard and mouse input, it delivers a fit for purpose desktop UI that runs 90 per cent...
We've been here before, with devices like this offered up by big brands and never taking off. But there's something about the Samsung Dex that seems to be a step forward… we were impressed.Perhaps it's the fact that the world is becoming much more comfort...

Given how fast the S8 and S8+ are, the DeX station makes a lot of sense. The plug and play method is a lot more straightforward than wireless screen mirroring, which doesn't always work, and the desktop experience is easily on par with a budget laptop or...
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...
