The Samsung Desktop Experience (DeX)

Mobile computing workstation in my pocket.

Samsung's DeX experience has been very good at providing a workable solution for normal desktop computing on the go or when you just want to do work and have it safely with you as long as you have your smartphone.

For the best results, you will need an HDMI capable monitor or display, a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and Samsung's DeX Station/Pad or a compatible USB-C DeX Hub. DeX is supported on the S8/S8+/S9/S9+/Note8/Note9. If you have a Note 9, then you can skip the DeX Station/Pad/USB-C Hub because the DeX hardware components are built-in. Of course you'll need and HDMI cable for the external display.

Another option is to use a lapdock (like the HP Elite X3 Lapdock) which provides a compact portable shell for
connecting you DeX compatible smartphone and turns it into a portable laptop-like device which is very cool.
