Samsung DeX, the docking station that turns the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ into desktop computers, is now available to pre-order from Amazon and Samsung’s website in the US. The DeX is priced at $150, and the shipments start from April 20, one day before the release of the Galaxy S8 and S8+. However, if you happen to pre-order it from Samsung.com, you’ll have to wait until early May.

The DeX is currently compatible only with the Galaxy S8 and S8+. It takes advantage of the powerful octa-core 10nm processors inside the new flagship phones to provide a desktop-like UI when it is connected to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. You can open multiple web browser tab and windows, watch videos on a big screen, get notifications from smartphones and reply to them, and use all your Android apps.

Will you be buying the DeX to be used with your Galaxy S8 or S8+? Let us know in the comments section below.

I don’t hate iPhones. I just can’t live without my Galaxy phone

I don’t count myself among those who hate the iPhone. I may not agree with Apple’s prices and practices sometimes, but I can’t say that I love or hate the company’s iOS-powered smartphones. I’m somewhere in the middle. I could live with an iPhone as my daily driver without ever using an Android device again, […]

Samsung’s ridiculous tablet keyboard cover prices are hurting DeX

Samsung’s ridiculous tablet keyboard cover prices are hurting DeX

As much as I enjoy using numerous Samsung hardware and software products, one of the areas I very much dislike about the company’s mobile business is how it markets keyboard cover accessories for Galaxy tablets. In short, I think Samsung’s tablet keyboard cover accessories are ridiculously pricey. I’ve complained about this before, but now that […]

There is a way to lower input lag when using Samsung DeX wirelessly

There is a way to lower input lag when using Samsung DeX wirelessly

Samsung DeX is a fantastic mobile desktop environment with great potential, but it isn’t the most powerful solution for a PC replacement you could find. Every little bit of performance gain counts, and as such, Samsung DeX is best used directly on-device on tablets or by connecting a Galaxy phone or tablet to a TV […]

Why I keep using Samsung DeX, and why not a Chromebook?

I started doing office work exclusively on Samsung DeX a year ago, and I figured it was time for a yearly update on my journey. When I began using DeX on my Galaxy Note 10 — before switching to the Galaxy S22+ — I didn’t think I’d get this much usage out of Samsung’s desktop […]

This trick might keep your apps from force-closing in Samsung DeX

If you use Samsung DeX and have experienced apps force-closing on you, we may have found a solution that might help against this issue. You can try assigning your most-used DeX apps to the “Never sleeping apps” list in One UI. If your phone runs low on memory, it decides which apps to close to […]
