Along with the release of Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + devices, Samsung also introduced a new device named Samsung DeX Station as additional equipment.
By using this additional equipment, users of Samsung's latest flagship devices can optimize their productivity through new experiences like working on a desktop or computer.
Technically, the Samsung DeX Station is a dock for computers equipped with several types of ports such as Ethernet port, HDMI port, USB 2.0 port, and USB Type-C port.
To use this dock, Samsung has also equipped its flagship devices with Samsung DeX to provide a better desktop experience.
What is Samsung DeX?
Samsung DeX is an ecosystem made by Samsung that will allow some of its mobile devices to change like desktops or computers.
Or simply, you can now connect several series of Samsung mobile devices to computer equipment, such as monitors, keyboards and mice.
This way, you can do things more easily, such as processing documents, sending emails, doing multitasking, copying text between applications, and several other things.
Unfortunately, as of this writing, only flagship devices from Samsung support this. That is also the new Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 +, Note 8, S9, and S9 +.
How To Use Samsung DeX
To enjoy the desktop experience of these Samsung flagship phones, you only need to have a Samsung DeX Station, monitor, keyboard and mouse, which are certainly sold separately from the device.
If you already have some of these accessories, you only need to attach the Samsung smartphone to the USB Type-C port on the top of the Samsung DeX Station.
After that, you can connect the Samsung DeX Station with a monitor using an HDMI port and cable, and keyboard and mouse via a USB 2.0 port.
Automatically, the display of a smartphone device will appear on the monitor, with some adjustments, not only in breadth, but actually changes like the appearance on a desktop or computer.
Even not only the interface display of the device, but the interface display of some applications will also change, as in Microsoft Office applications.
Therefore, some applications have separate provisions for this, such as Microsoft Office which requires users to purchase licenses, and Microsoft Word and PowerPoint which require additional downloads.
