The dock works well and the included fan keeps things cool. I was using another USB hub previously and it started to show signs of heat damage. This one works great with no heat issues and I no longer have spontaneous drop-outs from my monitor. I do miss the ethernet port, but otherwise this is a bit more versatile and easy to store than the original DeX dock.

The software is severely limited. I bought this to be able to use a keyboard to fill out different android applications information. 99/9% of the applications aren't supported in the DeX app. You have to use the Mirror mode to fill them out, which is ok, not great. A number of the apps that are supported don't have the same controls, so functions like scrolling in a web browser aren't the same as with either the app on the phone, or on a computer OS. Make sure your screen has multiple HDMI ports, otherwise not exactly a pleasure having to swap cables every ime, and you won't use it much. Charger is faster then if I plug the type C directly into the phone. Also like the fan to keep the phone cool. I am concerned that extended use, driving a full sized external monitor,and heat might brick my 1000 dollar s9Plus(actually Xfinitys' but I'd still have to pay) Might work well for travel. Plug into HDMI of hotel TV screen, if that works, and with a long enough cable, and your own keyboard, have access to the web. Lighter then a laptop, and no worries of missing speed due to throttles on WIFI hotspot use, ala Xfinity limiting to .6 mbps. Barely works.Read full review

Was in the market for a desktop. I found an excellent deal on the DeX Pad ($50) and purchased it. For browsing, managing email (Nine email app for Android), and Word/Excel files, it has been surprisingly productive. It really is close to a true desktop experience for my S9+. I'm quite happy. I've connected a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and there have not been any issues as of yet. Flawless, really.

I iniitially decided to buy because it's rather cheap here (compared to local stores), but after I really tested it.. Well DeX mode is GREAT. App support is useable. Only issue I found is that it's difficult to use biometrics when phone is in dock.

Being able to use a keyboard to write texts, send emails, and click to take screenshots - all in a very mobile package. It's also easy to manage files on the phone!
