[Poll Results!] DeX users, are you still using Samsung DeX or have you given up?

Poll

Last updated: April 17th, 2020 at 14:08 UTC+02:00

Samsung launched its DeX wired docking station earlier this year with the Galaxy S8. The accessory powers an Android-based desktop experience from a compatible device. The Galaxy Note 8 is compatible with Samsung DeX as well.

Did the promise of a desktop experience make you purchase the DeX station? What we'd like to know is whether you're still using Samsung DeX or have given up on it. At what point did the novelty wear off for you?

We concluded in our Samsung DeX review that it isn't a PC replacement and that power users will be annoyed. However, the accessory is great for basic usage like editing documents and browsing.

Vote below and do share your thoughts about DeX with us in the comments section.

Results: Surprisingly, 41 percent of those who participated in this poll said they have given up using DeX as the novelty wears off. 31 percent say that they use it sparingly for specific tasks while 28 percent use DeX frequently.
