Samsung Dex Pad

[agentsfire]

So I have to ask, is getting a Dex Pad worth it?  I know that the Samsung 8 series had the DeX station and now Samsung 9 series now has the DeX Pad, is this something seriously worth considering? My biggest thought on this is these phones already so expensive as it is, and comparable pricing to a light laptop or even more expensive than most netbooks, is there a reason not to get it? 

 

I mean hell if Samsung copied Razor's Project Linda I feel like the next series of Samsung phones could go the way of, here's your phone, here's a netbook dock for more portable productivity space, heres a desktop dock, you're phone is now a semi-practical all in one.

 

I would not be excited about using android for productivity, but if they gave it a more robust back end, and had more software support (maybe throw in something like a windows emulator?) I feel like this is the direction they're pushing for.

 

[ I did buy the S9+ 256gb and got free 256gb MicroSD so space won't be an issue for a long while. I needed a replacement for my S6 due to short battery life ]

Phone storage size I feel is an important consideration to the topic, a 32gb or 64gb may not make sense for productivity.

how you would like to emulate windows in arm proccesor? it ain't working that way  I don't really find it worth the price, simple usb c to hdmi adaptor with usb is just enough for traveling with my galaxy - I can plug it in tv in hotels and watch netflix or upload photos from my dslr to my phone and further to internet
