DeX is Samsung's attempt at a desktop experience for the Galaxy lineup. With the DeX dock you can plug in your phone and get a full desktop UX for use with a monitor, mouse and keyboard. According to sources Samsung is currently working on a new version of the DeX dock to be launched next to the Galaxy S9 in 2018. The new DeX will utilize a "pad" instead of a stand. The new dock will be called "DeX Pad" according to GalaxyClub. With Oreo you will be able to use the phone itself as a mouse and keyboard so you won't actually have to carry around those peripherals with you to get the full DeX experience. Even though this will be a flat pad their may still be a need to connect the phone to USB C. We may see a USB C connector that on a hinge that folds out of the way like with the Gear VR. It would be nice to see Samsung include a 3.5mm headphone port on the new DeX.
