Samsung DeX and Samsung S9- A desktop Like interface!

Samsung DeX is a native application allowing you to use Samsung S9 phone device on a “desktop like” interface. 

Implemented on their latest devices, it allows any S8/S9 or Note 8 (for example) owner to connect their phone to a docking station and use Android as personal computer. This is awesome! 

Using the phone for Gaming , using all of MS suite , even for Citrix workspace as well!

To use it : 

Set up the DeX Station

• Make sure you're using a monitor with an HDMI port. (using HDMI cable)- I would suggest to buy this HDMI cable from Amazon. It is 4K Ultra HD cable and with low in price as well  - HDML 4K Ultra Cable (Terabyte 4K Ultra HD HDMI Cable)
• Attach any accessories you'll be using to the Station
• Insert your device into the Station
• DeX should start automatically.

Once DeX has started, pull down your notification shade and tap Use your phone as a touchpad.

Samsung also worked with partners like Adobe and Microsoft to optimize the Android versions of their apps for the desktop. The entire Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint, could easily be mistaken for the applications running on a Windows desktop.
