Pros: Big choice, quite low prices.
Cons: It took a very long time to collect and ship the order.
Review: I ordered the RAM cash on delivery. On the trail. the day they called and said that the goods were too expensive and they needed to be paid in advance and in general they could send them via SDEK. Was it so difficult to limit the cash on delivery amount on the website and add it to the list of deals? To prevent people from getting into such situations? After that, for several days the goods were collected and sent. As a result, all deadlines were missed and expenses had to be borne.

Pros: - reasonable price;
- when ordering, you can choose a convenient time for the manager to call;
- big choice
Cons: the delivery point at Novokuznetskaya metro station has failed:
- difficult to find (a big pointer would be helpful),
- payment in cash (a terminal for card payments would be nice) - although this problem solved by paying online on the website.
Review: Overall, I liked it.
I ordered at 2 am, already at 9:30 (I indicated this time myself) they called me and confirmed the order. At 16:00 I took everything.
If it weren’t for my urgency, I could have chosen a pickup point closer to home and picked it up the next day.

Pros: Very good store I couldn’t find a battery for my smartphone for a long time. I accidentally saw the Sidex website on the Internet, placed an order, they called me back in 30 minutes, the battery was exactly what I needed. The order arrived in 3 days. An SMS informed me about the delivery. Everything that I received. For this Thanks a lot!!!
Cons: none
Review: You have a very good store. Use its services. I recommend it to everyone.

Pros: Not far from the metro, easy to get to on foot or by car. The time it took to receive my order was four minutes (I was in the store for seven minutes). Free delivery is possible with special order configurations. Informing via SMS and e-mail about the status of the order and the route/access route. Polite staff, no imposition of additional accessories. When asked about providing a cash receipt, they immediately printed it and issued it without any questions.
Cons: A significant drawback is the incorrect indication of the price of the product (a “fraudulent” scheme, often used to display it at the top of the list when sorting by price - the product can only be received at the “price in the online store” indicated on the website if free shipping, in any other case, for self-pickup or paid delivery, the cost will be higher). The client receives information about the price only after placing an order via SMS message - SIDEX, this is your unpleasant surprise to your customers. The cost increases by about 10% (for example, in my order - by 335 rubles). By default, a cash receipt is not issued. Minor shortcomings - uninformative description of the product and its configuration on the website.
Feedback: The decision to finally become a client of SIDEX after being scammed with the price of the goods was made solely because of the lack of time to register the goods with competitors and travel to them. It is unlikely that I will buy anything else from SIDEX. For the review, they promised to put money on the phone, let's see how it works (addition: no way).

Pros: The price is the lowest, and unlike other stores with low prices, they do not overcharge on delivery to the pickup point. Convenient pick up at the center.
Cons: The delivery of goods to the pickup point was postponed several times.
Feedback: Constantly informed about the status of the order, convenient.

Pros: Large selection of pickup sites.
Cons: The battery only lasts for half a day, but apparently this is a problem with the phone. When replacing the old battery, I accidentally pierced it, it was glued too tightly with double-sided tape. As a result, it exploded and flew out, the phone was charred, the screen became streaky, but it worked.
Review: The design is of course so-so, but the store works and performs its functions.

Pros: Good assortment
Normal order processing service
Very good, competitive prices (the main advantage!)
Cons: so-so system for informing about the progress of the order (via SMS)
Review: First time ordering from this store. And even with prepayment. It was scary to send money in advance, but the price was good, and the reputation according to reviews was also normal. Before the order was paid, an SMS was sent: pay for the order. As soon as I paid - that’s it, they forgot about me (= No SMS, no call... I called myself, they finally confirmed that the payment had arrived and would be waiting soon. Another day of silence and SMS started pouring in about the stages of sending the order by courier. The courier, by the way, arrived BEFORE the arrival of an SMS that the courier will arrive, his phone number is so and so. So everything is fine, thank you for the order, although you made me nervous. (=

Pros: I ordered xiaomi audio receiver. In many stores it is listed as a product, but almost nowhere is it in stock. Apparently not the most popular product. At the same time, it was here and cost a little more than on the official website
Cons: In addition to paying for the product itself and delivery, they very persistently offer to pack it in a “hard box” and receive SMS notifications about the status of the order, not for free of course. SMS notifications about the status of the order were not that expensive, so I paid extra for this service, but it simply did not work at all. The manager, who called me to clarify the order, for some reason immediately added to the cost that very “hard box”, the addition of which I did not order on the website.
Review: I think it’s convenient that they deliver to the post office

Review: I ordered the lamp on the website https://site
The lamp is of excellent quality. Everything corresponds to the description. I was very pleased with this product.
What is DeX from Samsung, I think everyone has already heard? The idea of creating a full-fledged workstation using the resources of a smartphone is not new; moreover, many large manufacturers have their own views on what that “post-PC” era should be like.
DeX is similar to Microsoft's Display Dock, which was released with Windows 10 Mobile. The new docking station is designed for Samsung flagships Galaxy S8 and S8+. For the magical transformation, you will need DeX itself, which is sold separately, an external monitor, a mouse and a keyboard.
This is where the questions begin. Let's imagine a situation in which a user might need DeX.
Situation No. 1: you buy Samsung Galaxy S8 and a Dex console, and then you realize that you need some kind of monitor for it and preferably a good set with a wireless mouse and keyboard. Doesn't it seem strange? Many will answer that everyone already has a mouse, keyboard and monitor at home. This leads to situation No. 2: if you have a mouse, keyboard and monitor, then naturally all this is connected to some kind of computer. What can make you turn off all your personal belongings? powerful computer and connect to the DeX set-top box, the capabilities of which cannot be compared with a full-fledged computer?
I don't have an answer to this question. Of course, we can assume that a person purely by chance has a monitor and all the accessories lying around, but does not have a computer, but such a scenario is difficult to believe.
Design
Samsung DeX is a round black accessory that resembles a puck. To connect your smartphone, you just need to place it inside. The opening back acts as a cooler, and inside the station itself there is a USB Type-C for power supply and data transmission. It will be difficult to insert the smartphone by touch; you will have to hold the dock itself and aim.
DeX is equipped with the following connectors:
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x Ethernet
- 1 x USB Type-C
From the point of view of connectors, this is straight full-fledged computer. You can connect a monitor, keyboard, mouse, wired Internet and enjoy life.
Everything works on a plug-n-play basis; no drivers or installations are needed.
What did I connect?
In my case, the Apple keyboard was easily connected, Logitech mouse MX Master, Samsung monitor. I tried connecting an LG Ultra Wide monitor, but Dex can't work with it yet widescreen monitors, does not stretch the interface correctly.
Principle of operation
After connecting the Galaxy S, a desktop similar to Windows will open on the monitor, but it is simply an adapted version of the operating system from Samsung. And it’s from Samsung, since it doesn’t look like the usual Android. Despite access to everyone Google services, most programs are not adapted to work with Dex. Those applications that are launched operate at your own peril and risk. For example, Instagram opens and displays the feed normally, and the Facebook client starts, but there is a problem with the layout and it is impossible to use it. We'll have to wait for updates and adaptation. And if everything is resolved and adapted with the basic programs, then most likely the rest of the applications will not.
A menu similar to “Start” in Windows is available here, while the number open windows and their size is absolutely unlimited. All notifications and smartphone status will be available in the lower right corner. And applications will work smoothly with a keyboard and mouse.
What happens if they call the phone?
All incoming notifications are available in the tray and you can immediately respond without having to remove your smartphone from the docking station. By the way, the sound escaping from the speaker of the Samsung Galaxy S8 in conjunction with Dex turns out to be very loud, the design of the stand itself imitates the effect of a sink, and the result is almost a universal portable speaker.
Even though the Samsung Galaxy S8 works with the screen off in a special sleep mode, you can use the smartphone's selfie camera while DeX is running. You've definitely never had such a sophisticated webcam before.
What about the speed of work?
I tested a non-commercial sample of the smartphone and DeX itself. During operation, this connection was clearly not working at full strength. It was as if there was a factory limitation. The phone didn't even warm up after 6 hours of use. This may be a precaution against battery overheating.
For solutions daily tasks, such as working with mail, watching videos on YouTube or correspondence in instant messengers, there is enough power. If you run heavier applications, for example graphics editor Adobe Photoshop Mobile and at the same moment open Chrome and several browser tabs, the system interface will begin to “sag” a little. Again, it looks like they simply set a performance limit in the test samples, preventing the hardware from spinning itself to the maximum and overheating.
Working with the mouse does not look the same as in full-fledged operating systems Oh. The pointing accuracy is not the same as in Windows, so that your cool gaming mouse turns into a regular “comfortable” mouse.
What about the games?
IN mobile games Until you play, they do not launch in full screen mode. And it’s not very fun to play games designed for touch using a mouse and keyboard. Unless you can play racing games using the keyboard arrows, this scenario works.
How is it in general?
The experience with DeX was useful; I got the feeling that the logic of the mobile operating system was big screen I already understand the logic of standard desktop systems.
For example, when I need to find a photo, I don't think twice about opening the Gallery app. If you need music - Google Play Music. That is, working with directories and explorers has faded into the background, and this, in my opinion, is the future of operating systems. You have at your fingertips a set of popular applications that solve certain problems.
Can DeX completely replace a computer? Of course not. And it shouldn't. Samsung feels the path while simultaneously marking the territory. If there is a prospect on the horizon in this direction, Samsung will already have developments.
Now DeX is an interesting accessory for people who are headlong into the Samsung ecosystem. There are many such people among businessmen. Home dear Samsung TV, at my wife's washing machine Samsung Add Wash, on the Gear S3, in your pocket latest Galaxy, there’s a sizzling red-haired secretary at work who handles all the routine tasks for you. And Dex stands, just in case, in your office on a huge oak table. Why is it worth it? Well, sometimes you go into your office, put the Galaxy S8 in the Dex console, see incoming letters on the big screen and, like a “white” person, ask the red-haired secretary to sort out this routine, and you open the gallery of your smartphone and look at the photos on the big screen, which you did last week somewhere in the Virgin Islands.
The main feature of the new Note 8, forgive me fans of the S pen stylus, is the dual camera. Under each of the rear camera lenses there are 12 megapixel sensors. The main lens is wide-angle, with a focal length of 26 mm (equivalent) and f/1.7 aperture.
The second lens is used for portrait shots and shooting with 2x optical zoom. In this sense, Samsung followed the path of Apple. The focal length of the zoom lens is 52 mm (equivalent) and the aperture is f/2.4. And most importantly, both cameras have optical image stabilization. It helps when shooting in twilight and darkness, as well as when recording videos: when switching between two lenses, shaking and judder are almost unnoticeable. The camera unit has phase-phase autofocus with support for DualPixel technology, and there is also a single LED flash. The front camera resolution is 8 megapixels and the lens aperture is f/1.7.
Phototest
We conducted a full photo test of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in various conditions and noted the highest quality of work and the versatility of the smartphone as a handy camera. During the day and indoors, the dual camera demonstrates its best qualities: high image quality, excellent color rendition, accurate white balance. However, there was a fly in the ointment. When shooting in automatic mode You can notice strong oversharpening at the edges of objects and post-processing flaws. This, one might say, is a signature feature of Samsung in auto mode, which many people do not like.
Today's premium smartphones, such as Samsung's Galaxy S8, perform roughly on par with, and sometimes exceed, the average office PC. If it weren't for the small screen and tiny keyboard, everyday office tasks would barely require another computer.
This is also the opinion of Samsung, whose specialists have developed a docking station for their flagship models S8 and S8 Plus together with an optimized Android interface under the motto: “Forget about your computer!”
VERIFIED
Comfortable. DeX isn't just a charging station, it also connects the S8 to your monitor and peripherals
The DeX station is shaped and sized like a large hamburger (diameter 105 mm, height 45 mm, weight 230 g). The external screen is connected via an HDMI port and operates with Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels). There is no wireless mirroring feature here.
TO additional features worth including an Ethernet port and two USB port 2.0 for connecting a mouse and keyboard or USB drive. USB-C is required for power supply through the Galaxy power supply, as the built-in power supplies cannot provide enough power to operate.
Folding the lid up on the DeX Dock reveals a USB-C connector at the base. After connecting or the phone display goes dark and after about 10 seconds external monitor The DeX interface appears. With desktop icons, task and information bars, and the Start button at the bottom of the screen, the design is strongly reminiscent of Windows.
TV setup
If you are using a TV as a monitor, for example in a hotel room, you must always disable overscan (view at 1:1 scale), as otherwise the edges of the image will be cut off.
For fast work It is recommended to disable all image enhancement functions (Game Mode). However, audio will still be output through the smartphone's speaker. If this doesn't suit you, you'll have to turn to Bluetooth headphones or speakers, since the connector is missing on the docking station, and on the S8 it's located at the bottom.
Even more intelligent
Following Microsoft and HP, Samsung is now trying to turn smartphones into computers. Once again, the user must buy expensive equipment. In the case of DeX, we are talking about a price of 10,000 rubles.
At the same time, among the interfaces there are two USB 2.0 connectors for peripheral devices (including flash drives and hard disks), Ethernet network port, HDMI video output. In DeX mode, thanks to the adaptation of the software by Samsung, working with the phone, at least in office mode, is almost as convenient as using a regular computer.
The phone works fully
When you connect your smartphone to the DeX station, phone functions continue to work, meaning you can receive calls and SMS or chat. However, in other areas, DeX is still struggling with some "diseases". For example, during testing on an external keyboard, the English layout, although the physical keyboard is screen keyboard The smartphone is already installed on the Russian layout.
The S8's built-in processor is powerful enough to handle multiple applications simultaneously and still ensure fast performance. Only after we have again selected Russian as the language of the physical keyboard, the letters are located in the right places, and only after that the third-party keyboard is connected.
Some of the applications already optimized for DeX respond to the mouse as in Windows, others, on the contrary, as in Android - only to the left click; context menu called by a long press. In the application for Email Using the arrow buttons you can only move from the subject line of the email to the text field; Google Maps does not have a zoom function in DeX mode.
Pre-installed Samsung browsers Internet and Chrome, although they appear as desktop agents on most web addresses, sometimes crashes and constantly open mobile versions sites such as Wikipedia.
Sufficient for daily work existing applications, however, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure solutions may additionally download Windows programs developed by third parties (such as Citrix).
Fast multitasking
Instead of notifying after the fact, it would make more sense if DeX automatically saved open files when extracting Also, the DeX dock works quickly and without noticeable lag for a large number of applications, even if there is additional video playing in the background.
It does not matter whether the application is optimized for DeX or not. The smartphone cooling system built into the DeX docking station is only audible if a performance test is also running.
When you need maximum productivity, such as taking a call, you can simply remove the S8 from the dock. A message appears warning you that applications will be closed.
However, during testing, all active applications remained open and disappeared only after the smartphone was reinstalled in the docking station.
Feel Windows in Android
Thanks to the DeX interface, the user controls the device almost like a worker Windows table. However, some apps work a little differently than on PC.
It's not a laptop after all.
Once the user gets used to the hybrid style of Windows and Android, working with DeX becomes quite convenient. However, the question arises: what target audience is this solution intended for?
Using a combination of DeX and Galaxy S8 is beneficial only if the necessary peripherals already exist in the places where you plan to use DeX. However, if they are not there, then who would want to carry a monitor with them every day?
