The editors didn't like
Keyboard and mouse don't behave exactly as you'd expect
Some apps just don't support DeX at all
Multitasking isn't as straightforward as we'd like
The desktop-style layout requires a monitor or TV to set up
Plus BYO computer accessories. Some apps run slowly. Only a few truly DeX-optimized apps exist
And Microsoft Office requires a subscription to use
Abstract: The Samsung Dex is a tiny new smartphone dock that wades carefully toward a world in which smartphones serve as our primary computers. It's about the size of a hockey puck, and when the Galaxy S8, a monitor, and a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are connect...
Seeing how much power the Galaxy S8 and S8+ have on tap, the DeX Station should make a lot of sense. It turns your phone into a working desktop PC, complete with multitasking, a working keyboard and mouse, and apps optimised specifically for the big scree...

Abstract: Samsung's DeX allows a Galaxy S8/S8+ (and presumably a Note 8) to support many Android apps on a 16:9 screen and use a keyboard and mouse. It does this very well.Reviewing DeX (Desktop Experience) is not as simple as reviewing say, a Windows 10 computer c...
As a technology showcase the Samsung DeX is excellent, showing off how you can replace your desktop PC with your Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus with ease. As an actual work device for that mobile road warrior on the go though, I feel that you're better off...
Simple, clean design, Fuss-free connectivity with phone, Fast app response time
No 3.5mm headphone port, Desktop UI needs tweaking, Android desktop experience requires some getting used to
If we were to summarize the Samsung DeX in a nutshell, it's that the overall DeX experience wasn't as impressive as Samsung had hyped it up to be. That's because both the docking station and the phone are, at the core of it all, still very much Android-ba...

Here's the million-dollar question: should you get the DeX?I have to admit, I cheated. A lot.Frankly, I was extremely relieved to be able to go back to my Windows 10 laptop whenever I wanted and settle back into the familiar productive flow that I've pain...
App support is sparse, No proper audio output, Only supports Full HD
Samsung's DeX is a bold look into how powerful our phones have begun, but unfortunately it's held back by expected software limitations. The current lineup of fullscreen DeX apps is rather limited, and there's not telling if developer support for DeX...
