The galaxy s9 will be able to use samsung dex without the need for a dock

One of the great novelties of Android Pie with the Samsung Galaxy S9, will be the possibility of providing the Samsung Dex experience without the need to use a special dock, we will tell you all the details.

Andoid Pie will allow Samsung Dex without a dock on the Galaxy S9

There may not really have been any technical reason for Samsung to require the DeX Station or DeX Pad to enable your desktop experience. After all, Huawei was able to deliver its desktop mode using just a USB-C to HDMI cable. But given Samung's recent history of overheating, the Korean manufacturer may have chosen to err on the side of caution, with a mini fan to keep everything under control when the phone is used and charged at the same time.

With the Galaxy Note 9's new cooling system, Samsung has been able to eliminate that for a price. It is not possible to run more than 5 applications simultaneously on DeX without using a dock. Now that same freedom will be granted to the Galaxy S9 and S9 +. Whether or not their cooling systems are up to scratch is a different question, but Samsung seems confident enough to do so. You also don't have much of a choice unless you want a multitude of angry Galaxy S9 owners on their forums.

The problem, at least for now, is that Galaxy S9 users will have to wait for Android 9 Pie to come along with Samsung Experience 10, the software package that brings this new feature to Dex. When it will be implemented is the big question mark, as Samsung has not yet started the beta program. Given the status of the leaked beta firmware, it shouldn't be long now, which would also coincide with last year's schedule. Hopefully, it won't have the same fiasco as the Oreo release either.
