Review on Samsung DeX Pad Desktop Experience for Samsung Galaxy Note8, GS8, GS8+, GS9, and GS9+ with Fast Charging USB-C Wall Charger (US Version & Warranty) by Bre Marie

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost finished. best in charging stations

This technique is pretty good. Allows you to connect a monitor, wired mouse, wired keyboard, headphone amp, and Bluetooth devices. I was surprised that they all worked when plugged in. However, the Dex panel is missing where it's most commonly seen. Some important popular apps don't work in Dex mode: Netflix, Prime Videos. Prime Videos doesn't work at all and Netflix starts small and can't expand to full screen. YouTube works great with a resizable window, but other elements on YouTube are rendered in very counterintuitive ways: thumbnails are too big, thumbs up and down don't appear, comment content doesn't always appear. Its a lot to do. I haven't tried any productivity apps yet. 4/5 stars because it's the only brand I know of with a device that supports some kind of desktop mode, which has proven very useful to me since I lost the internet at home and turned to YouTube and Twitch on it had left. I would really like to see Netflix and Prime videos work too.

Pros
