Samsung DeX Hands-On and Reactions

2017-03-30
but now you probably know all about the Samsung Galaxy s8 it was announced here in New York City and what a phone it is there's a lot talk about like the infinity display you have the Bigsby AI but in this video I'm going to be talking more about the Samsung decks experience there's a dip show off its brand-new desktop experience with Samsung decks which is basically a platform but you actually have this dock that connect the phone into and then you could have other peripherals connected to it like a display a monitor you have a mouse keyboard so essentially your phone becomes a computer since undid demo it off and it's pretty convincing because essentially you have a desktop experience on your mobile smartphone so what Samsung Dex is a platform you connect your phone to this brand new dock that they have and the dock not only charges the phone it also has ports like USB ports an HDMI port you can connect a monitor mouse keyboard so it gives you that desktop life experience and when you run it it looks like a Windows 10 experience now if I don't one who owns a Windows 10 smartphone this is kind of similar they'll probably scratch their head and think this has been done before because if you've used microsoft's continuum experience on say the HP elite x3 you know what it is it basically allows you to tether your smartphone to a monitor and also peripherals to have that desktop like experience i did see in action and so far I think it's pretty convincing because everything pretty much ran smoothly so you could write up documents reply to emails you could get the notifications and for the most part it seems like the apps do scale up something Microsoft applications have been optimized so they make good use of the real estate but there's a big but in all this that Facebook kind of relates to what we're seeing with Android on a tablet side where many of these applications haven't been optimized at all so when you run them they look kind of weird and funky so it's going to be interesting to see how quickly the developers can take advantage of Samsung decks and optimize the layouts to take advantage of the larger screen you're going to be using then it announced pricing or availability on the dock itself but they'll probably announce that very soon now all this is fine and dandy and it's pretty convincing what Samsung Dex is going to be able to do because now you have your smart phone you're at work you might have the dock there so you're able to quickly transition from the mobile experience to the desktop one what Samsung is doing here with Sam that's kind of reminds me of the Motorola Atrix from way back when because that phone itself tried to do exactly what Samson is doing here but it didn't really catch on now advantage with Samsung is that they have an established base and we can definitely see this platform enhance optimize as it continues to grow so we're going to look forward to see what happens so how do you guys feel about Samsung Dax is it going to be useful as it redundant let us know so if you guys won't learn more about any of the stuff I talked about in this video you can check out our website and read authorities calm John be signing off
