Samsung Dex
Samsung Dex serves as a desktop on-the-go, based on Android OS. It gives a similar desktop experience from the multiple resizable windows, contextual menus, and a desktop version web browser.
Of course, this won’t be complete without the mouse and keyboard that can be connected through Bluetooth or wire onto the Dex Dock/Station. An HMDi-compatible monitor completes the desktop experience.
Dex focuses more on productivity where they partnered with Adobe and Microsoft to support Microsoft Office and Adobe mobile apps, including Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile and Lightroom Mobile.
If that’s not enough, Windows OS-based applications can be remotely and securely access virtual desktops through partner solutions including Citrix, VMware and Amazon Web Services.
The Dex station includes two USB 2.0, Ethernet, USB type-C power-in and a cooling fan. It also features Adaptive Fast Charging for the Galaxy S8, once docked.
Samsung mentioned that region-specific bundles the Dex with the Galaxy S8 while some need to buy it separately.
Samsung Dex will retail locally for Php7,999.
