Samsung introduced a docking device called DeX on Wednesday that will work with its next-generation smartphones also announced today at a New York event -- the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

The big question for Samsung will be how many workers and companies decide to buy the DeX. It is designed to let an employee access apps, edit documents and browse the web and videos when his or her smartphone is inserted in the dock and is connected to a larger display, keyboard and mouse.

DeX is a small, hockey puck-shaped device that is about four inches in diameter. When a user presses it in the middle, a cradle pops up. A user can cradle an S8 smartphone via USB Type C and can plug in a full-sized keyboard and mouse as well as a larger display through an HDMI port. DeX allows fast wireless charging and even has a built-in cooling fan.
