Price and release date for Samsung's DeX dock for the Galaxy S8 have been confirmed

A new listing on the Samsung store has confirmed the price and release date for one of the company's most interesting gadgets. DeX, the docking station which allows users to convert their Galaxy S8 phones into a desktop computer, will retail for $149.99 and will hit the shelves in late April.

While a leak from last week already revealed the price tag and specs of the dock, information about the commercial launch for the DeX was scarce prior to the "Unpacked" event held on March 29. The Samsung store indicates that the device will ship in "late April". Basically, this means that the docking station will be released simultaneously with the two new Galaxy S flagships, which will have a global launch on April 28, while being available a week earlier in the US (April 21). A further confirmation can be found in the official Samsung press release for the DeX which states that the gadget "will be available globally with the Galaxy S8".
