The Galaxy S8 is here, and with it comes Samsung’s new DeX docking station. This new accessory lets you use Android with a keyboard and mouse, but does it really replace a PC?

Business Opportunity in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”
It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?
I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0
BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!
It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

Thanks and God bless!

Keep up the good work. Great informational review. Loved it.

I think DeX has a use case. My wife is in school and doesn't have a PC. We do have one in the house but it's on the old side and isnt user friendly. I went to savers, got a mouse keyboard and monitor for 20 bucks plus fond the dock for another 40 and boom. She can use Microsoft 365 and browse the web. Pretty much everything she would do on a PC

wow this isnt a review read the title JESUS
Cool!!
Where can i get the full set for this
Now a Samsung dex sits on my office table and I absolutely love it. Saved me a lot of money, It compeletely is worth it for me
Dose it work on the S9
Looks awesome and off course how can a smartphone replace a pc but still really close!
I think yes 🙂 but mobile MS office=/=pc MS office 🙁
I bought a cheap chinese fake dex dock for 20 bucks just as an impulse buy. The only reason to buy this is because you have money burning a hole in your pocket. This dock actually makes the smart phone experience worse. You can get windows devices cheaper than the real dock so what's the point?
Is dex compatible with laptop?
All it is a $150 dongle. You can buy a type c dongle that does the same thing, for like, $20. It won't work with your s8 tho.
I have the Note 8, that's my DeX.
That guy has disgusting finger nails
Love my s8 but i can get a laptop for 300.00 or less
Does it work with NetFlix?
This will get better overtime with updates and optimisation
No shit you aren't supposed to get full PC specs for $150. This review was more to shame the samsung dex more than anything. Of course, Samsung dex cannot ever replace fully a PC or MAC but it depends what you use it for. Considering that you can use microsoft documents, navigate the internet, use plenty of Google apps, and do most of the thing a chromebook does, why is $150 too much when you take into account it is extremely portable and beneficial for many people who dont have $1000 to spend on a "powerful PC". I can see myself doing plenty of school work with the samsung dex.
Can’t you use dex note 8?
Too expensive the S8. The DeX should be offered with the S8.
this is nowhere near a final product, nor useful.
one of the most major issues with Dex and basically any other Android Desktop phone dock is that even though your phone's apps are displayed in windows, they are not active at all while you are on another windows, this means that if you have many apps open and you go from one app's windows to another app's window but your phone is struggling on ram, than when you go back to that other app it will restart itself, and it doesn't help much that the DeX UI itself is very RAM hungry too, same as it is in any other phone to pc dock.
what samsung should've done is make DeX itself has its own CPU and more extra RAM, maybe even add support for an SD card in it, and of course give headphones output.
then the Phone will run all the active apps and DeX itself would run the DeX UI and all the background apps that are open in active windows.
this would immediately result in a fluid experience when switching between apps and reduce latency.
overall i believe that this is a pretty neat idea, but very poorly executed…
i remember Motorola's and Asus's play on this idea back when they introduced the Motorola Atrix 4G and the Asus PadFone, both great ideas for sure, but poorly executed and back than phone's specifications weren't that great either.
i believe we are really nearing the point that this could actually be a very good platform, perhaps in 2 more SnapDragon CPU generations,
surely now it works, but the phone itself is heating up quite a lot, hence the fan on nearly all of these docks.
either way, personally i'd probably never use this platform anyway, Android is no replacement for Windows, not even for Desktop Linux…
so as it is right now, yes the Samsung DeX is just another useless gimmick that probably no one would really use for more than a few times at most.
Wow, I wish they made it cross compatible with other android devices. Also wish they added USB-C so we can hookup multiple wired peripherals i.e.keyboard, mouse, printer etc. It would be very interesting what improvements they come up with next yr. Definitely keeping an eye on this tech even though I don't have a Samsung device so keeping my fingers crossed they make it where even mid-range devices and other branded phones can make use of this thing.
I think Samsung went long with this. As a huge Windows 10 user and somewhat an iMac user, I am happy to say Samsung has mostly filled in Phone & PC problems.
can i use dex with the s6?
Windows Continuum isthe closest thing to Smartphones replacing PC. I seriously don't understand why Dex gets so much hype. Not only is it not Wireless compared to Windows Continuum, the desktop experience was far better on Continuum. Why not just have the desktop experience on any sceen, rather than only that one screen Dex is Connected to?
Can it play minecraft?
