Hands-on with the Samsung DeX accessory for the Galaxy S8

-

Our Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ hands-on at Samsung Netherlands’ headquarters involved some playtime with the new Samsung DeX accessory, which allows Samsung’s new flagships to transform into a desktop computer. Connecting the DeX dock to a monitor will make the Galaxy S8 show up on the display, with the ability to run regular phone apps on the large screen.

This works pretty well, and the fact that you can connect a mouse and keyboard via the USB ports makes for an “Android on steroids” experience. Well, maybe calling it a Chromebook would be closer to the truth, but in any case, Samsung DeX turns your Galaxy S8 into a mini-PC. However, should you get an incoming call, you will need to either disconnect the phone from the dock or take the call on loudspeaker. In addition to HDMI and USB ports, DeX also comes with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, an Ethernet port, and a USB Type-C port that is used to connect the S8 to the DeX dock (and also to charge the device).

We didn’t get too much time to play around with Samsung DeX, but we think it would be a great solution for individuals who are always on-the-go, as long as they can find a monitor to connect to, that is. Check out the pictures below to see the Galaxy S8 and Samsung DeX in action, and let us know what you think about Samsung’s new accessory.

Samsung’s QLED TVs receive positive feedback from US-based industry trackers

-
While Samsung has been the largest TV maker in the world for the past twelve years, it is struggling to promote its QLED technology for high-end TVs because only a few other brands have adopted the technology. Now, the South Korean consumer electronics giant has announced that its QLED TVs have received positive feedback from US-based industry trackers for delivering satisfactory all-round performance. DisplayMate and Forbes have praised Samsung’s latest QLED TVs pointing out their capabilities to reproduce accurate colors, higher brightness, and power efficiency. Forbes has reportedly praised Samsung’s TVs for providing better resolution, higher dynamic range, and for not facing burn-ins , something that is noticeable in OLED TVs if a static image is displayed for a longer period. “ All displays from TVs to Smartphones deliver their best picture quality and their most accurate colors in the dark. But almost no one watches their TV or any other display in complete darkness. T...

Samsung to build a P3 ‘total semiconductor factory’ in Pyeongtaek by 2021

It hasn't been long since Samsung completed the construction of its P2 semiconductor plant in Pyeongtaek, but now, the company is preparing to build its 3rd 'P3' semiconductor factory in the same city in the Gyeonggi Province. According to reports from the local media , Samsung wants to start constructing the P3 plant in September and make it fully operational by the end of 2021. The P3 plant will reportedly be 300 meters longer than the existing P2 plant, topping a total of 700 meters in length. Constructing the building itself should take roughly a year, and a few additional months will be needed to install the necessary equipment and ready it for mass production. Samsung's P3 plant could be a 'total semiconductor factory' Given the size of the P3 plant compared to the P2 factory, industry watchers speculate that Samsung might want to turn the P3 facility into a 'total semiconductor factory' capable of producing DRAM and NAND flash chips as well...

Sony Announces Smaller Digital Paper E-Ink Writing Tablet

Sony has now announced a smaller follow-up to last year's Digital Paper E-ink writing tablet, the DPT-RP1. That's according to a new announcement made today via Sony's official blog. The new tablet – also dubbed with Digital Paper branding but sold under the model number DPT-CP1 – seems to be the same basic design as the previous model. However, while that earlier device was sized as close as possible to A4 paper with a 13.3-inch display, the new model drops to A5 with a 10.3-inch display. That should make its use much easier under a wider number of circumstances since it will arguably be easier to hold in one hand while writing with the other.  However, there will certainly be other benefits as well. As with the larger model from last year, the new Digital Paper centers around its inclusion of a stylus that works in conjunction with a 1,404 × 1,872 dot E-ink display with 16 levels of grayscale. The display is also specially designed to provide a paper-like feedback to u...
