Samsung Desktop Experience Arriving on Galaxy S8?

The Samsung Desktop Experience will provide extended workspace along with multi-window multi-tasking. If the South Korean company is really going to bring the new feature on Galaxy S8, it must have also developed a new UI for seamless experience once the device is connected to a display.
