Right now, Amazon is offering the Samsung DeX Pad Desktop Experience USB-C fast charger for just $52.85, which is a nice discount off its regular $70 price. The DeX Pad lets you take your smartphone and turn it into the brains of a computer while putting your work on a larger display. Beyond transforming your phone into a mobile computer, the DeX Pad also charges it quickly. Inside the DeX Pad is a fan to regulate the temperature of it, and Samsung includes an HDMI cable to help you get connected. The DeX Pad is compatible with the Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, Galaxy S9, and Galaxy S9+.
Samsung reportedly working on even more powerful smartphone fast charger
The state of the art for Samsung fast charging is their 15-watt USB-C fast charger, but according to reliable leaker Ice Universe, Samsung is set to soon supercede this. Samsung smartphone 15w charging will become history. — Ice universe (@UniverseIce) December 21, 2018Yes — Ice universe (@UniverseIce) December 21, 2018While Samsung's best is 15 watt, OnePlus's Warp Charge offers 30-watt charging which can charge a smartphone from 0 to 50% in only 20 minutes. Of course, the bigger concern with pouring electrons into your smartphone is whether it can be done safely, and we hope Samsung pays particular attention to this, to avoid another Note 7-type debacle.
AT&T announces a second Samsung 5G smartphone for 2019
as declared in Leave it to Samsung to talk up its second 5G smartphone before most companies have tipped their first. A few days after announcing its first 5G handset via Verizon, the company is already on to number two. This one comes via an AT&T press release that qualifies the handset a bit more, calling it "another standards-based 5G device."Shortly after Verizon was first with the original Samsung 5G news, both AT&T and Sprint announced that they would be getting the handset, as well. Wireless carriers, meanwhile, are clearly falling all over themselves to be the first announced partner for these devices. Given the fairly lengthy lead time, the companies don't risk cannibalizing holiday sales too much, especially with some deep December discounts on flagship devices.Huawei and Samsung are going to wage a fierce war in 2019 for smartphone supremacy
Next year is going to mark a turning point, one way or another, for some of the tech giants that have a lock on the biggest shares of the global smartphone market. Huawei vs. Samsung is going to be one of the more interesting storylines to watch unfold over the course of 2019, for a number of reasons. It's something that both companies — among other handset makers that are getting into the foldable game — want to try in part because the global smartphone market in general has been in a bit of a slump. So maybe foldables are the way to go to bring back a whole new level of excitement and buzz again. Whereas Huawei is having to execute on its ambitions while pretty much forgoing the West and markets like the US entirely.
