[THE INVESTOR] A senior executive at Samsung Electronics said on May 24 that the Samsung DeX, a desktop extension and other features for its high-end smartphone, the Galaxy S8, will enhance user experience of handsets.

First showcased with the Galaxy S8 smartphone, the Samsung DeX allows users to utilize smartphones like a personal computer by connecting it to a monitor.

Samsung also unveiled Bixby, a voice support program powered by artificial intelligence technology.

“All of our latest service offerings including Bixby, Samsung DeX and Samsung Connect share a common vision of pushing the boundaries that exist with smartphones,” Vice President Rhee In-jong of Samsung‘s mobile business said in an editorial.

“The idea was great, but unfortunately, we couldn’t fully realize it back in 2014 due to many obstacles that couldn‘t be negotiated easily, such as the limited processing power on the device,” Rhee said. “The Galaxy S8 is the vehicle that enabled us to introduce our 3-year endeavor.”

“With Samsung DeX, all you need is your Galaxy S8 to continue your mobile experience conveniently and securely whether you’re surfing the web, checking your emails, or watching your favorite movies,” Rhee said.
