If you already own one of Samsung's new flagships,
the Galaxy S9 or S9+, you can now pre-order the DeX Pad, an accessory unveiled
back in February. The new Dex Pad won't come cheap, so if you want one, you
have to come up with US$ 99.99 upfront.
According to Samsung, all pre-orders will ship in
the week of May 13, so everyone should get their accessories in mid-May. Also,
the handset maker offers free shipping on all orders, so you won't have to pay
more than 100 bucks. The Samsung DeX Pad comes with Fast Charge wall charger,
USB-C cable, and HDMI cable. Basically, everything you'll need to connect your
phone to a bigger display.
In case you haven't used such an accessory before,
the DeX Pad enables you to turn your smartphone into a true desktop experience.
Simply dock the phone into the DeX Pad so that it launches a special DeX mode
on the connected external monitor.
On top of that, you'll be able to connect a mouse or
keyboard for even more productivity, or you can use the phone's screen as a
touchpad. Another major benefit is that while you're working on a bigger
display, the DeX Pad will fast charge your Galaxy S9/S9+.
Last but not least, the DeX Pad is equipped with two
USB-A 2.0, an HDMI output, and a USB-C charging port, which allows users to
connect a wide range of peripherals.
