Compact size doubles a charging dock. USB, HDMI, Ethernet and USB-C ports support keyboards, mice and monitors. Samsung's clean computer-like layout works well as a basic Chrome-like browser. Multiple apps can run at once in separate windows, even ones th
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
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...

Slick hardware that's easy to carry around, DeX desktop is simple enough, Phone is powerful enough to keep things running smoothly
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
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...
