Over the past few days, the alleged Samsung Galaxy S8 has seen its fair share of rumors, revealing specifications, leaked images, and more. The anticipation surrounding this flagship device has tech enthusiasts eagerly awaiting its official release.
Recently, the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities made some predictions about the specifications and release date of the handset. Kuo has a very good reputation when it comes to leaks regarding Apple products, so we cannot discard the predictions he has even for Samsung devices. According to the analyst, Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus are going to launch on March 29th with the official availability pegged at 28th April. We’ve already seen some rumors hinting at the launch date to be April 21st, but Kuo believes otherwise.
Display and Design
Furthermore, the analyst believes that both handsets will feature 2960×2400 WQHD+ OLED displays (5.8 and 6.2-inch displays respectively). This high-resolution display is expected to offer vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for media consumption and gaming. The edge-to-edge design, often referred to as the “Infinity Display,” is likely to provide an immersive viewing experience, minimizing bezels and maximizing screen real estate.
The design of the Galaxy S8 series is rumored to be sleek and modern, with a focus on premium materials such as glass and metal. The removal of the physical home button, a staple in previous models, is expected to make way for a more streamlined look. Instead, the fingerprint sensor might be relocated to the back of the device or integrated into the display itself.
Battery and Performance
In terms of battery life, the Galaxy S8 will feature a 3,000 mAh battery while the Galaxy S8 Plus will come with a bigger 3,500 mAh battery as rumored before. These battery capacities should provide ample power to get through a full day of usage, even with the power-hungry OLED displays. Additionally, Samsung is likely to include fast charging and wireless charging capabilities, ensuring that users can quickly top up their devices when needed.
Performance-wise, the Galaxy S8 series is expected to be powered by the latest processors, possibly the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 or Samsung’s own Exynos 8895, depending on the region. These processors are designed to deliver top-notch performance, handling everything from multitasking to high-end gaming with ease. Coupled with 4GB or 6GB of RAM, the Galaxy S8 should offer a smooth and responsive user experience.
We’ll update you if we get to hear anything more about the alleged devices. The excitement surrounding the Galaxy S8 series is palpable, and with each new leak and rumor, the anticipation only grows. Whether it’s the cutting-edge display technology, the powerful performance, or the sleek design, the Galaxy S8 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting smartphone releases of the year.
