Unlike the original DeX, the Samsung DeX Pad supports the ability to lay flat on the phone, while also providing more powerful features. The Samsung DeX Pad not only allows the S9/S9+ to change to a PC in seconds, but also allows the S9's screen to function as a trackpad and keyboard. Can be dragged without the mouse in time.
In order to avoid system conflict, when the PC is connected to the mouse, the mouse function of the S9/S9+ phone will be automatically closed. According to CNET reports, the two-finger operation can scroll web pages or documents, and can also zoom the window.

And the new DeX Pad also supports connecting to 2K (2560*1440) resolution displays. The original DeX only supported maximum 1080P resolution.
In terms of interface, Samsung DeX Pad has two USB 2.0 interfaces and one HDMI interface (the RJ-45 interface in the initial generation was canceled), which basically meets the needs of users connecting with other devices.

It should be noted that since the S9/S9+ phone can be placed on the Samsung DeX Pad, users cannot use the fingerprint to access the desktop. Instead, they need to use a PIN or iris recognition to unlock the phone.
