Abstract: The Samsung DeX is short for Desktop Experience Station that turns your Galaxy S8 into a viable desktop computer.When Samsung rolled out its new flagship Galaxy S8 and S8+ Android smartphones it also lifted the curtain on a clever docking device which tur...
Smart integration of mobile and desktop user interfaces
Hardware setup is difficult and unintuitive, the dock doesn't stay in place, and the power cable is too short, Lack of direct smartphone access while docked to the Dex Station is unfortunate

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

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...

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...
