The smartphones on the market today are packed with ample technological power that makes them perfect for use as PCs, so the Samsung DeX Pad looks to help do just that.
Working with the Samsung Galaxy 9, the dock works by having the device docked to it in order to transform it into a working desktop PC. The dock places the smartphone flat to make it usable at all times without having to remove it or deal with an awkward angle. The smartphone dock features a built-in USB-C port, HDMI port and two traditional USB ports, which make it a perfect computing solution for users who just need the essentials.
No information on pricing or availability has been released yet regarding the Samsung DeX Pad.
