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...

Super-simple setup, Cheaper than most Chromebooks, Easy to use, Adds Ethernet and two USB Type-A ports
Small number of officially supported apps, Can't snap windows, Android multitasking is still weak, Images and video don't always look as sharp as they should
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...

Abstract: The Samsung Dex is a tiny new smartphone dock that wades carefully toward a world in which smartphones serve as our primary computers. Its about the size of a hockey puck, and when the Galaxy S8, a monitor, and a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are connecte...
An instantly familiar user interface, Good desktop versions of Samsung's apps, with an especially great web browser, Good for web, email, writing, social, and other basic tasks
True multitasking isn't really implemented, Thirdparty app support is currently lacking, Cannot replace a PC for specialized tasks (e.g. image editing)
At the end of the day, it's the small stuff that's important in a product like this, and there's just a ton of it that's wrong here. Sure, you can perform basic, daily tasks on the DeX, but that's about it – try to go any further, and all the tiny inconve...
Good desktop experience, Multiple windows, Ethernet port
No good reason to buy this, a mouse, and a keyboard over a real PC
Samsung's DeX dock turns your Galaxy S8 or S8+ into a multi-window desktop PC, but doesn't make a case for why you should use it instead of an inexpensive computer...

Abstract: Perhaps you've heard this idea before: can a single device work as both your mobile phone and your desktop or laptop computer? If you have, and you've used the many prior attempts at it, you've probably been disappointed. A lot of companies, from Palm to...

Resizable windows—it feels like a Windows desktop, Existing DeX support for Microsoft office, Adobe apps, and other critical must-haves, Surprisingly zippy performance on the S8 processor
Bluetooth pairing needs an overhaul, One monitor (out of five) failed to run DeX properly
Offering a 1920x1080 desktop with resizable windows, Samsung's dock for the S8 and S8+ is a surprisingly capable PC replacement...
