As the launch date of the alleged Samsung Galaxy S8 draws closer, the number of leaks we’re seeing are also increasing.
Recently, a new leak reveals the Galaxy S8 event poster with a large “S” pointing at a device which we’re expected to see by the end of this month.
Event Details and Expectations
Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S8 at a press event in New York on March 29th with the availability date rumored to be April 28th next month. Samsung is yet to shed some light on the official availability date, which is expected to happen at the press event, along with the pricing details. The anticipation surrounding this event is palpable, as Samsung fans and tech enthusiasts alike are eager to see what innovations the company has in store.
Specifications and Features
The Galaxy S8 is expected to come with a 5.8-inch QHD display while its bigger sibling, the Galaxy S8+, is set to boast a 6.2-inch QHD display. These displays are rumored to feature Samsung’s signature Super AMOLED technology, which promises vibrant colors and deep blacks. The handsets are rumored to come with Snapdragon 835/Exynos processor paired with 4GB of RAM (Chinese variant is rumored to come with 6GB of RAM), a 12MP camera for photos and videos, 8MP front-facing camera, and Android Nougat as its operating system out of the box.
In addition to these core specifications, the Galaxy S8 is expected to include several new features and improvements over its predecessor. One of the most talked-about features is the new Bixby AI assistant, which is Samsung’s answer to Apple’s Siri and Google’s Assistant. Bixby is expected to offer advanced voice control capabilities and deep integration with Samsung’s ecosystem of apps and services.
Another significant upgrade is the inclusion of an iris scanner, which will provide an additional layer of security alongside the traditional fingerprint scanner. This feature was first introduced in the Galaxy Note 7 and is expected to be refined and improved in the Galaxy S8.
The design of the Galaxy S8 is also a major talking point. Leaks and rumors suggest that the device will feature a nearly bezel-less design, with the screen covering almost the entire front of the phone. This design choice not only makes the device look more modern and sleek but also allows for a larger display without significantly increasing the overall size of the phone.
Market Impact and Competition
The launch of the Galaxy S8 is crucial for Samsung, especially after the Galaxy Note 7 debacle. The company needs to regain consumer trust and prove that it can still produce high-quality, reliable devices. The Galaxy S8 is expected to compete directly with other flagship smartphones like the iPhone 7 and the Google Pixel. Its success or failure could have a significant impact on Samsung’s market position and financial performance.
We’ll update you as soon as the handsets are officially announced.
