Samsung’s new DeX Pad turns the Galaxy S9/S9+ to a keyboard and a trackpad


DeX Pad

At its MWC press event, Samsung alongside theĀ Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus announced an update to its Dex station dubbed the DeX Pad, and much like the Galaxy S9 duo, the DeXPadĀ comes with a significant upgrade over the predecessor.

For the uninformed, the Dex Pad Station is an accessory that connects your Galaxy S9 phone via an HDMI cable to a computer monitor. It produces a desktop mode of your Android device on yourĀ computer monitor. Unlike theĀ DeX station, the new DeX Pad has completely eliminated the need to ferry a physical keyboard and mouse. With your Galaxy S9 docked to the DeX pad positioned flat on your desktop, the screen can be used as a keyboard (dubbed “Touch Keyboard”) and a trackpad (“Touch Pad”). The accessory will get theĀ “Touch Keyboard” functionality much later via a software update, while older devices like the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Galaxy Note8 ” will get all its functions via OS update.

The device should be available later, maybeĀ alongside the Galaxy S9/S9+.
