The Best And the best. Now i read a lot of reviews but i wanted to try it myself after all, that thing just amazing and crazy good. i used it just like a desktop computer but cleaner. I belive samsung should focus on this product more than a lot of other products they have, They need to work with third application to improve this thing, for example, they need to work with netflix to fix the full desktop app, and they need to improve the speed of switching from to another app. But the best and the best. yes buy it. Also your flash drive work perfect, you can create folders. I used Chrome the most because of the desktop version it give you for browsing.

Those of you that understand my reference in my title know that Microsoft was working on this with Windows phone years ago. That doesn’t take away from what Samsung has accomplished in the least. This is the most under-rated feature I’ve seen from Samsung in years. I am using my Samsung Dex to type this review in Microsoft Word right now. I have a Dell Wireless Keyboard and Mouse that uses a tiny USB dongle. I’m looking at a 24” Dell 1080P Touch Panel that actually works like a large phone touchscreen. I’m generally a Windows 10 user and this Samsung Dex experience is more logical and intuitive to me than Apples OSX or iOS. Most apps are not optimized for Dex but they still run. That means some will be in Portrait mode as if they were a phone screen. They will be windowed however so really all the functionality is there. All of the apps I actually need optimized, are already. That would be my Office 365 apps, the Samsung Email, Photos, Etc. and Chrome. Anyone that reviews this as anything less than revolutionary has an agenda guiding them. The reason I would make such a bold statement is this. Some College / High School students could use a Note 8 + Dex in place of a cell + laptop. If a family with limited income were not able to afford a PC with monthly internet for every child in the house. They could theoretically get an S8 up to a Note 8 ( I know its $1000 but the subsidy helps) and use their TV or any HDMI display with a USB keyboard and mouse and provide a full computing experience with Cellular internet with this DEX unit. No other phones currently do that in the Android or Apple iOS sphere period. Not even the competitors upcoming flagships. Lastly it works. It actually fricking works well. Enjoy.

I hope more companies start looking into this type of technology is very convenient to be able to forget about a backpack with your laptop, either way I always plug my laptop to external Hardware, now I could get rid of all of that stuff and travel lighter, we tested Hangouts, calls, sms and even Netflix with the help of some Dex app and it works like a charm. Maybe not a full replacement for more expensive tasks in terms of computation power but good tech.

This is a must have for Samsung owners. A wireless keyboard, wireless mouse and monitor or TV screen converts your phone in to a desktop computer experience. A+ all the way around. Easy setup to any monitor/LCD with an HDMI cord.

The only flaw I could find is you had to take your phone case off every time you wanted to dock it. And I have a fairly slim and minimal case. Unfortunate
