Experience the power of a desktop PC with your Samsung Galaxy S9/ S9 Plus Your smartphone is an increasingly vital part of your everyday life.

You won't need any drivers, extra software or specially tailored hardware - just a monitor, input methods (keyboard/ mouse) and whatever apps you need to get some serious work done. Fully customised desktop environment If you're worried the DeX Station will just mirror your device's screen, you shouldn't be.

We all carry phones, but we don't all want to carry heavy laptops, especially when travelling abroad. This little device, when attached to a compatible phone (I'm using it with a Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus) turns your phone into a fully fledged Android desktop computer. You'll need to use it with a Bluetooth keyboard, and have the option of pairing a Bluetooth mouse (but you can use the screen as the mouse).
Noting that this will obviously be running Android, and as such will have some limitations, but if you're prepared to accept those limitationd then it's a worthwhile purchase. Please note that certain cases, shells, bumpers on your phone may need to be removed when used with the Dex.
I've deducted a star becuase this items isn't cheap and it could have done with being bundled with a case (it's really intended for travelling) and a HDMI cable for the price.
The dex pad comes with all the cables you need to use it (usb type C, HDMI cable and a fast charger). I was expecting a better made, with solid plastic, it's very light... On the front there is a fan for the temperature. A good point is the way to connect the smartphone to the pad, there is a USB type c with a moving base so it comes very hard to break it and it leaves free to use the 3,5mm jack of the smartphone and the space to extract the s-pen if used with a galaxy note 8 or 9. I've preferred the dex pad instead the latest dex cable because there are 2 usb 2.0 ports full size(why not a 3.0?), the hdmi port and the usb C port for the charge, and I've preferred this pad instead the first dex station because it gives the opportunity to use easily the smartphone like a trackpad or a keyboard. Once I've connected everything (with monitor, mouse and keybord) the dex UI was running automatically. It's very pleasant to use it like a real pc, all the apps runs in windows, and there is the opportunity to reduce it in icon, resize or, if the app is supported, in full screen.
There are still too many limits to replace a real laptop or pc with a smartphone, even with the dex pad, but it's great to enjoy a movie, play music, watch your pictures, or work with office apps, I don't know about games( I didn't try yet) it's very helpful to manage files and folders.
I've paid this dex pad £45, I can suggest it for this price, it's a nice,helpful and funny gadget.
Forgive me if there are some errors but english isn't my mother tongue ;)

It has a USB Type-C plug on it and comes with a USB wall outlet and USB to USB-C cable. This is used to power the DeX pad and phone.
The pad also has two regular USB (Type-A) ports that allow you to plug in a keyboard and mouse which will work as input devices, just like a desktop PC. If you do not have a keyboard or a mouse, you can still use the pad as the phone will recognise when you need a keyboard and show an on-screen one automatically and on demand, along with the ability to use you phone as a track-pad (like a laptop).
NOTE: I tried to use an RGB Razer keyboard and RGB Razer Mouse with the DeX pad but they didn't work, I assume due to power delivery not being sufficient for all the lights (which I cannot figure out how to turn off as Razer Synapse is (understandably) unavailable on Android).
The pad also has one HDMI-Out port. This is used to connect the pad to the monitor you are planning on using it with. A HDMI to HDMI cable is supplied in the box.
On the top of the pad there is a USB-C plug which sits parallel to the pad surface, allowing you to slide it into position. This plug is also hinged slightly so you can use the fingerprint reader on the back of the phone without disconnecting it from the DeX pad - a well-thought and nice touch.
In addition, the pad has a fan built into it which circulates air past the bottom of the phone (about half way from the bottom of the phone onwards as this is where the processing units are inside the phone itself) which does a good job at regulating the phone's temperature and adjusts speed accordingly.
An issue I experienced, again with input devices, is that it doesn't seem to like any new-ish Apple keyboards. It refuses to work properly.
The actual DeX experience is good. It works seamlessly with most apps and I haven't managed to crash it yet. Some apps will be slightly confused by DeX mode, like Snapchat, which has sometimes behaved oddly when navigating pages. Other apps will simply refuse to open, with a notification popping-up letting you know that "This app was designed for touchscreens only".
As for audio, the phone will be the output of sound if no alternative is available (I have not tried with audio being sent via the HDMI to built-in speakers so cannot advise if it will work). The AUX is still easily accessible when pugged into the DeX pad. The phone will also be able to send audio to a pair of wireless earphones (like the Galaxy Buds) as expected.
You get the option to either mirror your phone screen to the monitor you have connected, use the monitor as a separate screen or stop using the monitor completely to instead fast-charge the phone you have connected. The more options the better!
Along with this, you can either use the phone screen separately to the monitor, which allows you to be in one app on the phone (like gallery or the internet) and all the others on the monitor (like an editing app or notes). This is very useful as you can drag the mouse from the monitor screen and it will appear on your phone screen, allowing you to control your phone with a mouse (a very odd but awesome experience). You can turn this option off if you'd prefer the mouse to stay on your monitor screen and use your phone screen separately.
It is great if you have an app on your phone that you want to use or have a phone that cost several times more than a desktop PC of equal power that you want to make the most of. It is good if you usually transfer files or images a lot as you can still access your phone's data (like images) in DeX mode which can save you the hassle of having to send images to yourself.
Overall, a useful tool.
