Samsung Galaxy S8 can double up as a desktop computer, says report

The Samsung Galaxy S8 will launch in late March before becoming available for purchase in April, according to a new report. The company recently confirmed that its next flagship handset would not make an appearance at Mobile World Congress next month, and the Guardian, citing "well placed sources", now claims that it will go on sale "on or around" 21 April. The report also claims that users will be able to turn the S8 into an Android-running desktop computer by hooking it up to a dock, monitor and keyboard, with a new feature called desktop extension (DeX). Expected to work in a similar manner to Microsoft's Continuum, Samsung will likely use DeX to push the S8 as a bona fide business device, potentially adding a few extra pounds to its price tag in the process.
