Samsung Galaxy S8 is rumored to launch in the coming weeks, so this is the time when we’re going to hear a lot about the handset.
Recently, the first live image of the alleged Samsung Galaxy S8 made its way onto the internet, along with a lot of interesting information about specifications.
Display and Design
The report mentions that Samsung is going to make a lot of changes with the upcoming Galaxy S8, including two display sizes: 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch featuring QHD Super AMOLED display. Both devices will have dual-edge displays, unlike the Galaxy S7 which came with a flat display on board. This dual-edge design is expected to provide a more immersive viewing experience and a sleeker look. Additionally, the Galaxy S8 is rumored to have a higher screen-to-body ratio, minimizing bezels and maximizing screen space.
Hardware and Performance
The report continues to mention that it will be powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor as well as 4GB of RAM. This combination is expected to deliver top-notch performance, making multitasking and running demanding applications smoother than ever. The Snapdragon 835 is known for its efficiency and power, which should also contribute to better battery life.
For photography enthusiasts, the Galaxy S8 is rumored to feature a 12MP rear camera for photos and videos, which is expected to come with improved low-light performance and faster autofocus. The 8MP front-facing camera is likely to offer enhanced selfie capabilities, possibly with features like wide-angle selfies and beauty modes.
In terms of storage, the Galaxy S8 is expected to come with 64GB of internal storage, which should be ample for most users. However, if you need more space, it’s likely that the device will support expandable storage via a microSD card slot.
Battery life is always a concern with smartphones, and the Galaxy S8 aims to address this with different battery capacities for its two variants. The 5.8-inch version is said to come with a 3,000 mAh battery, while the 6.2-inch version is expected to come with a 3,500 mAh battery. Both batteries are expected to support fast charging and possibly wireless charging, ensuring that you can quickly top up your device when needed.
Software and Features
On the software side, the Galaxy S8 is expected to run on the latest version of Android, likely with Samsung’s custom user interface on top. This UI is expected to bring a host of new features and improvements, including enhanced security options, better multitasking capabilities, and possibly new AI-driven functionalities.
One of the most talked-about features is the potential inclusion of a new virtual assistant, rumored to be called Bixby. This assistant is expected to compete with the likes of Google Assistant and Apple’s Siri, offering voice-activated controls and smart home integration.
Samsung is also rumored to be focusing on improving the overall user experience with features like an iris scanner for added security, a USB Type-C port for faster data transfer and charging, and possibly even a headphone jack, which has become a rare feature in recent flagship smartphones.
Samsung is rumored to unveil the handset at a press event in New York on March 29th. We’ll update you as soon as the handset is officially announced.
