The Samsung Galaxy S8 will be unveiled next week but the rumors and leaks are not stopping anytime soon. The latest is described as one of the most intriguing features expected to arrive with the new flagship.
But before getting into it, it’s good to take a stock of what we already know about next week’s launch. The device is gorgeous, it has a compact size and a revamped interface. Though rumoured before, but today, we heard about a desktop station that allows customers to use their phone as an improvised PC.
The desktop dock has finally leaked on the internet, courtesy of German outlet WinFuture and Slash Leaks. So without further ado, this is our very first look at the upcoming DeX Station for the Galaxy S8:
It is expected to come with an Ethernet port, two USB 2.0 ports, a dedicated HDMI port as well as its own embedded cooling fan. It will also come with a nifty slide-in dock and a USB-C port for charging.
It will be compatible with both the Galaxy S8 and its bigger Plus sibling, and also support 4K up to 30 frames per second. The leak suggests the DeX Station will retail at €149.99 (which will probably translate to $149.99 over at the US).
The question now is – although it will be cool to be able to plug your phone to your monitor for an improvised PC experience, will it justify spending €149.99 for a desktop dock when there are many affordable laptop and desktop alternatives in the same price range?
