Samsung Dex Station Review. What's up guys my name is Myron on this video we're going to take a look at the
Sam's index station we're going to cover what a deck station offers the design
how it works so make sure to stick around the video to this channel because
this is crabbing to a weekly tech video
you're probably wondering what is a tech station and what does it do for me first
of all let me get started by saying that as the release of this video the deck
station is only compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 the Samsung Galaxy
s8 and the SI plus if you look at you on one of these phones you will be able to
turn your mobile phone into a desktop computer before we move into the user
functionality let's take a look at the physical design starting from the back
deck station will offer to use reports that will allow you to connect an
external device like a mouse or a keyboard it will also come with an
Ethernet port in case you want to connect using the Ethernet cable for
faster speeds also it will come with an HDMI port to connect to an external
monitor or your TV towards the end you'll have a type C port to connect to
the power supply by the way the type C and the wall charger come already with
the deck station moving to the top it will have a pretty cool sliding cover
which will work for easy storage the built-in fan will help you keep the
phone cool that the sign will allow the phone to stay up by the viewing angle
while the phone lines up with the type C input located on the bottom which will
connect your phone to the deck station and it will also keep it charged up when
you dock the phone to the deck station it will automatically launch the
interface on the start of the screen it will prompt you for the security access
if any are set up on the mobile device you can still use the finger reader
sensor but it is not convenient having to reach out to the back of the phone
without disconnecting the phone from the deck station once you're in if you look
in the bottom of the left hand side you can find the apps button the recent
button and the home button in the bottom right hand side you will find a
notification bar in the miscellaneous settings as you will see on the top of
your mobile device moving into the users functionality the decks session will
allow you to launch your apps on a bigger screen using the keyboard and
mouse this will allow you to increase your productivity if you need to surf
the Internet work on multiple documents at the same time or even remotely access
your home computer you will be able to have multiple applications open and
display at the same time on the screen when it comes to sound you will be
listening to the phone speaker or the display itself if it has a speaker or
audio output you can also connect to bluetooth speakers or headphones you
won't be able to connect the audio using the audio jack as a
station will be blocking the audio output from the phone it will not allow
you to play any advanced games as a performance of the Dex session is
limited to the performance of your phone in fact even many of the mobile games
won't be compatible but many of the apps that you currently have installed should
be compatible and work pretty good overall it works good and is responsive
I'm able to launch multiple applications to navigate with no issues that doesn't
mean you should expect the same performance as when you do when you're
using the phone I do notice a lag if I start multitasking heavily if I try to
open many applications at the same time and start switching from one to another
I can see an impact on the performance when it comes to compatibility there's
some apps that work better than others some apps I'm able to open in
full-screen or change the viewing angle and access all the features while all
the apps are limited when you open an app you will get a message letting you
know if the app is compatible or if it some of the features are limited I'm
pretty sure that many of the apps will continue to get updates for better
compatibility especially if Samsung continues to push
the deck station in the future phones on the bright side it offers apps for decks
this is similar to the Play Store but it is only dedicated to apps that are
compatible with the tech station at the moment there's only a few apps that are
available in the apps for Dex but hopefully the list will continue to grow
as time goes by the purpose of this video is not to do a full review the
apps but if that is something that you interested on make sure to subscribe and
check out my other videos as I plan to do a detailed review about it I can show
you that I find it productive reading replying to emails texts and comments on
my YouTube videos but I'm more interested on what your thoughts in the
next session are or if there's anything specific that you would like to see on
the future video make sure to leave your questions concerns opinions in the
