The DeX station is compatible with the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+, and it turns these smartphones into a desktop computer. It offers users a desktop-like UI with multiple windows, a full-sized web browser with multiple tabs, and Android apps when it is connected to a monitor (through its HDMI port), a keyboard, and a mouse (through Bluetooth or one of its full-sized USB ports).
The wired docking station features two full-sized USB ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, an Ethernet port, and a USB Type-C port. Apart from using Android apps, accessing files, and replying to messages and emails, users can also take calls through a connected loudspeaker or over Bluetooth while using the DeX. It can also rapidly charge a connected smartphone using its Fast Adaptive Charge-enabled USB Type-C port.
Update: The DeX station is also available at a lower price of €96 (and an additional €5.95 for handling) through MaxICT.nl online store in the Netherlands.
