https://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-dex-pad-galaxy-s9-render/ >Unofficial renders of the DeX Pad appeared online, tweeted by frequent tipster Evan Blass. The image shows a flat pad that can hold a device, a likely follow-up to last year's Samsung DeX Dock, which connected the Galaxy S8 and Note 8 to a monitor for a desktop-like experience. >The Samsung DeX Pad should work very similarly to the DeX Dock, according to VentureBeat, except that while the DeX Pad is said to lie flat, the dock stood upright. A flat arrangement allows for the docked phone to be used as a touchpad or virtual keyboard. It isn't clear if the dock would have an Ethernet cable; the pad could connect through Wi-Fi or your phone's cellular connection.
